A while back there was another “The Life Before Her Eyes” poster, about which I made a post. Subsequently I (and pretty much every other site) was asked to take the poster down, which I did. And now it’s mostly gone from the Internet, although you can still find it in a few places.
Anyways, I […]

I honestly feel like outsourcing my commentaries on this poster to the fellows over at I Watch Stuff.
I realize that letters cut from a New Yorker might feel too ransom-notey, but is Scrabble really the best way they could find to identify “smart people”? Since when is Scrabble a game of the intelligentsia any more […]

My Own Private Idaho and Paranoid Park are separated by 16 years, but are united by a common director, Gus Van Sant, a very similar posters.
Ok, perhaps very similar is pushing it, but I still find it amusing that both use the device of slicing an image in several strips and then putting these […]

I have already talked about the main poster for No Country a couple of times. It’s nice, but I don’t think it captures the beauty or intensity of the film. But that is the domestic poster, perhaps the international posters are different?

Well, I guess the streak of me liking the posters for Tyler Perry’s movies had to end at some point.
This new poster for Meet the Browns takes the very subtle first teaser poster and adds a bunch of things. A big title treatment. Tyler Perry (I’m guessing) in a fat suit. […]

I ended up never writing about the first My Blueberry Nights poster. I can’t quite remember why. I certainly meant too.
Anyway, the film, which was first shown last years at Cannes, is finally going to open on the U.K. in February, and that means we get a nice Quad poster for it. It maintains […]

There are a few things about this poster that I like. It shows that this is an ensemble piece without filling the whole image with the actors. It conveys that this is a crime related story through the silhouette of the gun. And the combination of the sky and the butterfly vaguely points to the […]

There are a few things about this poster that I like. The retro look, for one, is very well done and matches well with the fact that this is a period piece. The yellow background is a little “loud”, but it does contribute to the retro look and it makes the image stand out a […]
