As we hurl towards another three-day holiday weekend in the USA, I’ve noticed a buzz trending soon to a theatre near you…(IMP)

Blood Runs Deep…

…all the way back to the 70s (French Connection)! (IMP)
French Cape Fear!
Black Rock Friday!
The indie female-driven thriller, Black Rock, washes up at movie theatres this weekend — and I’m digging the new spin on a classic taken by Ignition Print for the one-sheet. Inspired by such designers as Bill Gold (Deliverance), Jason Munn (Treasure Island Music Festival), and Steve Frankfurt (Rosemary’s Baby), this Black Rock poster is solid! (IMP)
Star Trek Reaches Its Peak?
French Kitchen Sink Poster!
Men with guns, a big cargo ship, women in various states of undress, and a bunch of astronauts (or possibly, a haz-mat team)…It’s time again for another French kitchen sink poster!
Bar Nuns!
I don’t think Teresa is about Mother Theresa, but these two French beauties by Boris Grinsson and Jean Mascii are second to none!
Watts Up?
Although not a household name to casual moviegoers, Naomi Watts has made a strong impression in many memorable one-sheets, most notably Akiko Stehrenberger’s beautifully-designed Funny Games!(IMP)
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.
Natural Blondes?
It appears that the new one-sheet for The Exquisite Corpse Project has a poster crush on the recent Hemingway relative pic, Starlet. (IMP)
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)
Driving Miss Diva…
Spring Bling Ring Things!
Who needs a pretty face on your poster if your movie is about stealing pretty things? (IMP)
Classic Car Talk!
The new Gatsby poster adds some polish to the car movie poster.
But if you’re really serious about your automotive-inspired one-sheets, you’ll get plenty of mileage out of Paul Veysey’s Motorin’ Movie Posters book.(IMP)
Lotta Lincolns!
Honest Abe would be rolling over in his grave if he knew that this John Wilkes Booth-inspired poster for Birth of A Nation (left) recently sold for over $48,000…(HA)
War of the Movie Posters
War is hell…even for movie posters.
The Catcher in the Rye Returns
Anybody who went to English class in the past sixty years or so has probably read J.D. Salinger’s classic coming-of-age novel, The Catcher in the Rye (below, right).
And now there’s a documentary coming out soon about the notoriously reclusive (now deceased) author, which is aptly-titled, Salinger — and I’m liking the paperback cover-inspired poster. (THR)
Look For the Silver Linings…
If you need a visual to differentiate today’s movie posters with one-sheets from the 1940s, then look no further than last year’s Oscar darling, Silver Linings Playbook, compared with the Boris Grinsson-designed French poster for Look For the Silver Lining (1949)…
White House Downers?
Another disturbing trend: American disaster movies. (IMP)
Subliminal Google Glass Poster?
It’s only a matter of time…
