Meansheets is a movie poster blog that features vintage movie posters, French movie posters, and the movie poster artists and illustrators from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970's and 1980s who designed them.
Amanda Seyfried, the star of such teen films as Red Riding Hood and Mamma Mia!, has undertaken an undeniably more hardcore role in her upcoming flick, Lovelace, in which she portrays Linda Lovelace, the troubled 1970′s porn star of Deep Throat.
To find out the skinny on this scandalous time in American film history, check out the trailer of the 2005 doc, Inside Deep Throat, and, of course, don’t forget that legendary scene from Robert Redford in All The President’s Men. (ImpAwards)
Looks like Liverpool graphic designer, Rowan Stocks-Moore, has pared down the Disney classics with some intriguing new hip, minimalist takes on the enduring children’s storybook tales…available on Etsy.
With this weekend’s Five Year Engagement, it looks like Judd Apatow’s eight year winning streak at the box office will continue as the prolific comedy director-producer of raunch’n'romance has been the life of the party ever since 2004′s Anchorman…(ImpAwards)
The Amazing Spider-man has already taken over Broadway, so it’ll only be a matter of time before it weaves its web all over the world’s cineplexes. And Magnificent Mel of MoviePosterCollectors.com has pointed out the new teaser’s clever homage to the original 2002 Spider-man one-sheet (left), each poster respectively reflecting on two of NYC’s greatest landmarks, The World Trade Center and Empire State Building.
Anthony Hopkins (pictured right) is slated to become Alfred Hitchcock (aka Hop-Kock!) in an upcoming biopic on The Master of Suspense. Hopefully, the one-sheet won’t go to The Birds and will be as mysteriously elegant as vintage French-Cock.
Pink is the new black — at least when it comes to the trendy font flavor of the movie poster. Needless to say, the color has been around for a while ever since it got its start on Jack Rickard’sPink Panther one-sheet back in 1963 and continued its hot streak up through the 1980s with a string of John Hughes movies.

“It’s sexy time!”, to paraphrase Borat, as we delve into the strange, sensational, hyper-sexualized film genre known as Mondo (not to be confused with the other Mondo gang at Alamo Drafthouse).
Before Reality TV, the creation of Italian mondo cinema in the 1960s gave birth to a weird world of exploitation documentaries that covered many taboo subjects, including sex, death, and pretty much anything else that could either turn you on or creep you out (thank you, Russ Meyer!).
But the one good thing to come out of all this depravity is a remarkably gorgeous portfolio of movie posters, featuring artwork from such mainstream International designers as Manfredo Acerbo and Constantin Belinsky. (Images courtesy of Film Art Gallery and EMP.)
