This weekend’s new release, One For The Money, is yet another cinematic take on the Bounty Hunter — prominently featuring that ol’ movie poster prop favorite, handcuffs.
But let’s not confuse it with those other classic fightin’ bountys!
A Trip To Bounty-ful
January 26, 2012We Need To Talk To Roman Polanski
January 25, 2012With awards season in full swing, I think We Need To Talk About Kevin has won the Oscar for Most Variations of One-Sheet Designs.
And the marketing dept might be running out of ideas since this latest poster bears a striking resonance to Polanski’s baby Rosemary’s Baby. (ImpAwards)
Tutti Frutti Cerutti
January 24, 2012The 1930s and 1940s French posters of Henri Cerutti go down smooth as a sweet, fruity glacé. Hailing from the golden age of the gargantuous 4-panel poster (240×160 cm, or 94x 63 inches for you Americanos), Cerutti’s mural-sized designs were not only big, but beautifully elegant as well.

A Dash-ell of Hammett, please?
January 18, 2012Look out, film fanatics, because Noir City’s annual San Francisco Film Noir Festival begins this weekend and runs through January 29, capping off with a Dashell Hammett marathon, including screenings of the 1931 and 1941 versions of The Maltese Falcon…
And don’t miss out on these French poster beauties (drawn by Roger Soubie) of that other Hammett classic, The Glass Key.
If Today’s Movie Posters Were Made Yesterday…

Girls Riding In Cars With Boys
January 16, 2012This new dramatic poster for The Paperboy takes me back to that less serious 80s teenage sex pic, Mischief…
Howard the Duct Tape?
January 12, 2012This new 60′s-style Marky Mark movie poster’s so tactile you can almost feel the pain! (ImpAwards)
The Künstler Adventures!
January 11, 2012A reader commented that it was American Civil War artist, Mort Künstler — not John (“King Kong“) Berkey — who created the key art for The Hindenburg. This, of course, led me to uncover the full arsenal of Künstler’s explosive, action-packed 1970s one-sheets.
