Super Salk!
Although not as well-known or, quite frankly, important as Jonas Salk, his polio-fighting namesake, Larry Salk (1936-2004) (no relation) made his own profound impact on the world of key art. He got his start in fashion illustration and then quickly evolved into the world of movie poster work, where he designed over 165 one sheets for various film studios and distributors.
But, ironically, what Salk is probably going to be most remembered for is his infamous oil portrait of Kramer from an episode of the 90’s hit TV show, Seinfeld.
Remake Monday: The Longest Yard
Remake Monday: Alfie
What’s it all about, Alfie? It’s hard to believe that at one point in time Michael Caine was a heartthrob on par to this generation’s Jude Law.

Remake Monday in 60 Seconds
If you like fast cars and fast women and somewhat shaky story development (at least in the 2000 version since I haven’t seen the ’74 original), then you’ll probably get revved up for Gone In 60 Seconds.
Remake Monday
From now on, every Monday I’m going to feature posters from remakes — so let’s get to work and start with the movie that recharged the Mini, The Italian Job (1969) vs. The Italian Job (2003).
The Scarlett Widow
The new Black Widow character posters from Iron Man 2 are out and Scarlett Johannson’s lookin’ pretty badass!
But let’s see how she stacks up against these other superheroines…
The Clash Is Back!
I guess this weekend’s box office numbers left little doubt that remakes make money. Here’s the innocent little original 80’s posters (by Gouzee and The Hildebrandt Bros, respectively) compared to the amped-up 2010 version.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
