Mouth Wide Shut

The new Eddie Murphy movie, A Thousand Words, sounds an awful lot like that 90’s family comedy knee-slapper, Liar Liar.

Also, the one-sheet takes a few artistic liberties from that famously dirty defender of free speech, Larry Flynt. (ImpAwards)

Postering Polanski

Jan Lenica, the Polish poster wunderkind, had a unique relationship with fellow Pole, Roman Polanski, during the film director’s burgeoning career in the 1960s.

Although chiefly famous for his luscious theatrical/opera designs, Lenica added some blotchy-but-beautiful touches to many of Polanski’s eerie early films.

Carnage Knowledge

Roman Polanski’s new movie-based-on-a-play, Carnage, seems to have a lot in common with some of those foursome films of the 1970’s — Carnal Knowledge and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice — except without the sex!

No Payne, No Gain!

One of Hollywood’s cleverest directors, Alexander Payne, is coming out with The Descendants this weekend, starring George Clooney. Although Payne’s résumé boasts quality over quantity, let’s hope we see more from him sooner than later.

I’m not a super fashionable guy (as my friends and family will attest!) — but I am fashion-ated with this new documentary, L’Amour Fou, now available on DVD about the life and death of legendary designer, Yves Saint Laurent.

Following the icon’s death, Pierre Bergé, Mr. Saint Laurent’s lover of 50+ years, decided to auction off their prized art collection and luxury furnishings (which brought in a cool $484 million) — and the pic is a mournful, meditative look at not only their relationship, but also the obsessive nature of collectors — and brings up the question: is it the person or the stuff that brings true value to life?

In the Shadow of Stooges

The new teaser poster for The Three Stooges just came out and it looks a little shady!

Dollars For Duke!

There was a big sale this past week from the John Wayne family that brought in some big bucks, pilgrim.

And here’s a few classic movie posters featuring the man they called The Duke…(Heritage)

Jagged Edges…

The new Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher one-sheet for the upcoming biopic, The Iron Lady, looks like it was ripped off the pages of late 20th Century movie poster history…
