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.

Best Ripoff?

On deeper reflection of Yahoo’s Best and Worst movie posters of 2011, I couldn’t help but see some vintage-spiration from James Bond and The Mackintosh Man (no, not Steve Jobs)…

Best or Worst List?

Yahoo released its Best and Worst movie posters of 2011. Do you agree or it just a bunch of pay-per-click hooey?

Happy Holidays!

Meansheets wishes all you poster appreciators a safe, enjoyable holiday season (not to be confused with the Internationally-known Holiday of APF whose worldly collection of Japanese B1s and B2s is out of this world)!

Zoo Story

I’m liking the new teaser posters for Cameron Crowe’s We Bought A Zoo — even if the tree motif has been well documented over the years. (ImpAwards)

Terrible Tino Avelli

Italian illustrator, Tino Avelli, was a badass with the brush — as he shot up numerous canvases with his colorful, cutthroat characters. (EMoviePoster)

Ready For Their Chuck Close-Up?

The trendy new Men In Black posters were undoubtedly inspired from old school modernist painter, Chuck Close’s old school methods of Pointillism…(ImpAwards)

And let’s not forget everybody’s all-time favorite pointillist, Georges Seurat.

The Dude Designs…

Tom Hodge aka The Dude Designs — not to be confused with that other dude from The Big Lebowski (although Hodges’ artwork does show off a certain original charm and character) — is doing his darnedest to elevate the art of the B-movie horror poster and DVD artwork to a B+ level and beyond!

Flash-Rock of Ages?

Flashdance fans should be flattered. First, Coyote Ugly borrowed its plot — and now the new Tom Cruise hair metal band flick, Rock of Ages, is taking a cue from its key art.

Oh well. The trailer does look pretty good!
