Ocean’s 17?
Even teenage thieves have to start somewhere…
Morton Downey Movie…
Before Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity, there was a big mouthed, Shepard Smith-looking TV talk show host called Morton Downey. And now you can see Evocateur, the documentary about the man — and the one-sheet which is a clever take-off on the famous Pink Floyd poster.
It’s NOT A Movie Poster Disaster…
The new one-sheet for It’s A Disaster offers an updated take on one of my all-time favorite 80s movie posters — the Burt Reynolds starrer, Paternity (designed by Birney Lettick), as well as the Belushi-Spielberg comedy, 1941. (IMP)

Tree of Malick…
The new French poster for Terence Malick’s To The Wonder has a lot of life in it…(IMP)
Getting Leggy With it…
Magical Cards?
The upcoming magic-comedy, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, is looking for a good hand with its new playing card-themed one-sheets. (EMP)
Bust That Body!
The new Movie 43 one-sheet is going with some body shots to garner attention for their new film.
Side by Side Effects
It’s refreshing to see new one-sheets that pay homage to their elders, as does Steven Soderbergh’s latest flick, Side Effects. (IMP)

Faces in the Crowd…
Sometimes movie poster collecting is a spectator sport…(MoviePosterDB)
A New (Red) Dawn…
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)
