About russ

Russ Ryan is an avid fan of movie posters -- sometimes even more so than the actual movies themselves! But he's not just a poster geek, he also was lucky enough to have a film produced by the makers of AMERICAN PIE -- the classic, unforgettable, much less successful National Lampoon presentation, REPLI-KATE, starring Ali Landry, James Roday, and Eugene Levy.

Who Ripped Off Who?

trueblood vs jen's body

The movie blogs have been spewing blood a while now about the controversy surrounding these two eerily similar posters for HBO’s True Blood and Diablo Cody’s Jennifer’s Body.

All I can say is that the red band trailer for JB with Megan Fox looks pretty good. And I don’t even like horror movies!

And if you don’t believe the hype of this new version of The Untouchables, maybe Johnny Depp will give you your money back.

Girl Interrupted + Blue Crush = Girl Crush

Megan likes Angie. Kim likes Megan…It’s a lovefest!

Touching Home

touching home_book I just read this book by The Miller Brothers about the making of their indie film, TOUCHING HOME, starring Ed Harris (not to be confused with Stealing Home or Coming Home). I’m not sure when the movie’s coming out or if it’s any good, but you can’t help but admire the chutzpah of these guys going all out to get their movie made. You can feel the hope and desperation at every turn.

The only thing I don’t like about their story is the film’s title. It’s an aesthetic thing. I don’t care for any title that begins with the suffix “-ing” — e.g., Finding Forrester, Searching For Bobby Fischer, Teaching Mrs. Tingle…but that’s my problem.
