Could two movies with similar titles possibly be any more different? I guess there’s a wide gulf between pizza and river — and possibly an even wider gulf between USA and Polish movie posters as seen below from Jan Mlodozeniec. (ImpAwards)

Into The Mystics
April 25, 2012Pretty In Pink
April 19, 2012Pink 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’s Pink Panther one-sheet back in 1963 and continued its hot streak up through the 1980s with a string of John Hughes movies.

Thomas Kinkade Dead at 54.
April 9, 2012Thomas Kinkade, one of the more controversial commercial artists of our time, has died over the weekend at the age of 54. Well-known — and sometimes ridiculed — for his cozy cottage industry of cutesy, quaint storybook paintings and reproductions (and questionable business practices), Mr. Kinkade was nothing if not a pioneer for the concept of Artist as Businessman, as his artwork reportedly brought in hundreds of millions of dollars.
Taking a cue from his illustration idols, Norman Rockwell and Walt Disney (who he later drew media attention to when he was accused of drunkenly urinating on a Winnie the Pooh statue in a Disneyland Hotel while muttering, “This one’s for you, Walt.”), Kinkade also dabbled in the film biz, getting his start working as a film animator on Ralph Bakshi’s Fire and Ice (poster art by the great Frank Frazetta) — as well as producing a Hallmark holiday TV movie based on his own life story, The Christmas Cottage, starring Peter O’Toole.
And to ensure that his tainted painted legacy was complete, he was even castigated profiled on 60 Minutes back in 2001.
Movie Poster Reunion!
April 6, 2012As Peaches & Herb used to croon, “Re-united and it feels so gooooood…” Or excruciatingly painful, depending on your high school/college experience. But with the big American Pie reunion happening this weekend, I thought it time to check back in with some old movie friends to watch good times and funny awkward conversations…
Z is for Zbikowski
April 5, 2012I ♥ Maciej Zbikowski — but who wouldn’t love this Polish movie poster designer after seeing so many of his graphic love letters from the 1960s and 1970s on EMoviePoster and other sites…
Crushin’ the Tide!
March 28, 2012It looks like Blue Crush director, John Stockwell (who you may remember as an actor from Losin’ It, My Science Project, and Top Gun), is going back to the Stockwell again with Dark Tide!
Meet The Sauvages…
March 22, 2012Here’s some savagely beautiful sauvage (means “wild” in French) things from Boris Grinsson (top), Constantin Belinsky (The Wild One and bottom, middle), Roger Soubie (Hud, middle right), and Clement Hurel (bottom right)!
