In case you missed these 2011 films the first time around in the theatres, The Ides of March and Warrior are now out for round two on Netflix.

A Starlet Is Born
Move over Papa Ernie, there’s a new Hemingway hitting the silver screen — Dree Hemingway, the daughter of Mariel Hemingway, who will be making her big starring debut in Starlet at this year’s SXSW Film Festival, March 9-17 — and the one-sheet bears a striking resemblance to her mother’s star turn in Star 80 as well as her late Aunt Margaux’s flick, Lipstick.

On The Road…Again?
I love Jack Kerouac –– but surely the studio can come up with something more original than this one-sheet for such an American literary classic as On The Road, right? (ImpAwards)
Glasses From The Past
Better take off those sunglasses for Piranha 3DD…because something fishy’s going on!
Norah Jones + Russ Meyer = New Album Cover?
Dave Rosen of Posteropolis brings up a NYT story of Russ Meyer’s least likely fan…jazz pop singer, Norah Jones — whose new album cover was inspired by RM’s lowdown and dirty, Mudhoney. (MOPO)
This Means Love?
If all is fair in love and war action-comedy, then Reese Witherspoon is getting the Mr. and Mrs. Smith treatment in This Means War…(ImpAwards)
Sparks of Love!
Okay, sorry to get all mushy on you, but one man heartbreaker, Nicholas Sparks, has written the book The Notebook on the romance genre in the last decade or so with his tender-hearted tales…so much so that pretty much every romantic drama now looks like a Nicholas Sparks novel.
For instance, this weekend’s The Vow? Looks like a Sparks, sounds like a Sparks, but not actually a Sparks.
Can you tell which movie posters below are based on Nicholas Sparks novels and which are merely just trying to give off sparks? (ImpAwards)
Keep Calm and Cary Grant
If you’re a graphic design/poster aficionado, then you no doubt have seen those vintage British-anthemed ‘Keep Calm and Carry On‘ posters here and abroad. But have you seen the Hitchcock-inspired Cary Grant spoofs from North By Northwest ? (Etsy)
The Artist or The Sexist?
Prior to collecting his Oscars at this year’s Academy Awards, it appears that Jean Dujardin of The Artist has gotten himself into a movie poster brouhaha for his upcoming French flick, Les Infideles.
But are the French just getting prudish? These new one-sheets don’t seem to be showing any more leg than these fairly common one-sheet designs from the last ten years…Maybe it all depends on your point-of-view!
