A Trip To Bounty-ful

January 26, 2012

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!

We Need To Talk To Roman Polanski

January 25, 2012

With 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, 2012

The 1930s and 1940s French posters of Henri Cerutti go down smooth as a sweet, fruity glacé.

Look 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.

Girls Riding In Cars With Boys

This new dramatic poster for The Paperboy takes me back to that less serious 80s teenage sex pic, Mischief

Howard the Duct Tape?

This new 60′s-style Marky Mark movie poster’s so tactile you can almost feel the pain! (ImpAwards)

The Künstler Adventures!

January 11, 2012

A 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.
