A new poster hit the web today for James Cameron’s highly anticipated new movie, Avatar. This poster features Zoe Saldana’s (Star Trek) character, Neytiri. This is the alien babe that Sam Worthington’s (Terminator Salvation) Jake Sully falls in love with while residing as a human-Na’vi hybrid, aka an avatar, on the world of Pandora. I don’t know about you, but while Zoe Saldana is hot in the recent reboot of Star Trek, seeing her as a blue-skinned, 10-foot tall alien …

I posted the trailer for the new Steven Soderbergh/Matt Damon movie, The Informant, exactly a month ago, and today we’re privvy to a new, retro poster for the film. To recap, The Informat is a dark comedy, based on the non-fiction book of the same name (by New York Times investigative reporter Kurt Eichenwald). The story revolves around Mark Whitacre, an executive at Archer Daniels Midland, who exposes the company’s price-fixing scheme and who also exposes his own infractions and …
Chris Evans has had a tough go. The guy’s imminently watchable but, like the equally watchable Ryan Reynolds up to this year (maybe?), his fire just isn’t spreading. How many almost made it movies does the guy have to star in to catch the break where his name becomes household, as opposed to reminding you of some kid you might have known back in college? I don’t know, but between the boring/slapdash/yet-liked-by-me Push, to the see it if you haven’t …
This plain, boring, zero-inspiration, third-grade Photoshop poster for the “Clash of the Titans” remake isn’t going to stop me from geeking out and circling March 26, 2010 on my calendar. No sir! In fact, I’m actually wondering if the remake can even come close to trumping the two hours of awesome that is the 1981 version. That movie satisfied all my third-grade appetites – nudity, crazy creatures, hairless dudes in skirts fighting with swords, winged horseys and enough herky jerky …
I guess I was expecting something without a modern, sans-sarif font. But Jake Gyllenhall does look like the prince from the video games (an Anglo Saxonian in Persian clothes!) and the girl (Gemma Atterton) looks like she was able to wash all that crude oil from James Bond’s room off and put on some clothes. Excellente! In the mean time, I don’t know of these are real (I wouldn’t be surprised to learn they’re not) or variants or what, but …
At least, that’s what this poster reminds me of… and I love it. We debuted the Zombieland trailer here at AATM a few weeks ago, but I wasn’t able to find a high resolution poster for the logo that plays out at the end until now. Click to embiggen and Happy Thursday.
Real quick… can you name this movie by simply looking at this poster? While we’re not usually in the habit of discussing films pre-1974, let this be the exception, damn you! Ok, so the one thing I like more than movies is the poster art that accompanies them. Which is why you get an inordinate amount of poster posting up in these parts. And while older movie posters have their dated charm (and outright genius) leave it to Turner Classic …
… of dead mother effin’ Nah-zees he can find! Inglourious Basterds and the advertising company it hired has some graphic artists working serious overtime (unpaid, of course… you’re salaried, suckers!). The Inglourious ones have pounded out no less than 18 posters. That’s 17 more than most other films, including My Sister’s Keeper. Think about it. Nonetheless, they’re all lovely, cheesy artifacts worthy of wall hanging. Enjoy the latest, which is, morbidly, probably my new favorite.
Behold the (I-talian?) Inglourious Basterds one sheet. Sure the poster uses recycled images, feels a lot bit like Valkyrie and I really, really, really want to punch that smirk off Eli Roth’s face , but none of that matters because it’s still undeniably bold and undeniably awesome.
On Friday’s Movie Show, we touched a bit on overrated actors (but excellent entertainers): Actors who tend to play the same character iteration with various levels of intensity. I don’t know if Paul Giamatti is one of those actors– I think the argument could be made both ways– but I find the guy a total joy to watch. Whether he’s complaining about rocks in his boots in Saving Private Ryan, giving me a reason not to fall asleep while watching …
