You know your movie poster business is doing well when it’s featured in The Wall Street Journal — as The Alamo Drafthouse / Mondo Gallery mafia continues its hot streak.
Hollywood remakes another 80s classic. The Outsiders? No. Footloose? Been there, done that. Karate Kid? That’s so two years ago.
Make it a code red, baby! They should’ve kept John Alvin’s one-sheet design from the original. (IMP)
On that grand old USA holiday, Thanksgiving, I think we all should give thanks because sometimes Coming To America isn’t always as fruitful or funny as an Eddie Murphy or an Albert Brooks film — as this young couple from war-torn Kosovo found out in Ivan & Ivana…
With Ang Lee’s upcoming Life of Pi aka ‘Boy Meets Tiger’ story on the horizon, I thought it might be a good time to showcase some of the other big kitties decorating one-sheets over the years…
I know all the kids are talking about that new Twilight movie — and it’s so nice to see that a Hollywood legend like Paul Newman still has staying power!
If you haven’t heard, aside from being the biggest movie star on Earth, Brad Pitt also builds houses and designs furniture…Can movie poster design be too far behind? (NYT, IMP)
Looks like the James Bond producers are seeing the daylight at the end of the tunnel for the new Skyfall one-sheet…(IMP)
In honor of Election Day, I thought it appropriate to celebrate one of our most respected leaders, President Abraham Lincoln — who seems to be trending again with the recent Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and the upcoming Spielberg epic, Lincoln.
And in case you missed it, Louis CK also did a funny spoof of him on SNL this weekend — which you can check out HERE.
The new Les Miserables meets the old Les Miserables (by Herve Morvan, bottom right)…

Whether you’re spending this Halloween out haunting or staying in to nest, have a howlin’ good time!

Jimmy Fallon and Amy Poehler recently discussed their past movies together via one-sheet spoofs.
After watching the first hour of Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present, I thought the portrait of this performance artist was perfect material for a Christopher Guest spoof (This Is Spinal Tap, Best In Show, etc.). However, the second part of the HBO doc picked up and proved to be quite moving.
But that’s just one man’s opinion. You be the judge when the film comes out on Netflix — or, better yet, if you live in New York City, you can stop by one of my favorite bookstores, Strand Books, where Ms. Abramovic will be appearing — and actually talking — not just staring at audience members.
I’m a sucker for dogs — even when they get mixed up with a bunch of Psychopaths. Let’s just hope the Shih Tzu makes it to the final credits. (IMP)
