Poster For Lars von Trier's NYMPHOMANIAC Hints at Double Teaming

Poster For Lars von Trier's NYMPHOMANIAC Hints at Double Teaming

  Chartering a woman named Joe’s sex life from birth to age 50, Lars von Trier‘s Nymphomaniac will be sure to shock and ostracize critics and the public at large. Trier has a penchant for tiptoeing the line between film and snuff and it’s hard to imagine that this one won’t be just as perverse...

Concept Art for CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER

Concept Art for CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER

  Marvel madness continues with a first look at what is sure to be the eponymous villain for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, AKA Captain America 2. Although this is only a piece of concept art, it gives a sneak peek as to what this Winter Solider will look like. Rocking a Bane mask, aviator...

Little Good Ship Chased by Big Evil Ship in STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS IMAX Poster

If you’re like me, you’ve been trying your best to avoid the onslaught of Star Trek Into Darkness marketing. Whether this means charging out of the theater during it’s previews, ducking your head when tv spots come on and even popping in headphones or humming along to yourself any time one of what seems like...

A Bunch of Character Posters for ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

A Bunch of Character Posters for ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

  When I heard that Arrested Development would officially return nearly seven years after its cancellation, like a time-abiding Jesus, I was both ecstatic and worried. The experience of AD was short and sweet – a steady crescendo that built upon its jokes episode-after-episode to side-splitting hilarity- but it left off on such a high...

Seattle International Film Festival Line-Up Loaded With Gems

Today, the Seattle International Film Festival  unveiled its full lineup for this year’s festival. As this will be my first year covering it (and my first time covering any festival of this pedigree), I anxiously anticipated what the organizers had in store and the answers are pretty exciting. Running from May 16-June 9, SIFF has...

Jaimee Foxx's Electro Was a Major Nerd Before He Blue Himself in THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN 2

Jaimee Foxx's Electro Was a Major Nerd Before He Blue Himself in THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN 2

  Before he blue himself, Jaime Foxx’s character did not look so hot as Max Dillon, the man who turns into Electro in The Amazing Spiderman 2. He’s rocking the comb-over equivalent of squid-ink angel hair pasta and sporting pre-Heisenberg Walter White glasses. At least after some kind of electricity accident, he turns into a...

Thor Holds Hammer, Has Big Arm in First Poster for THOR: THE DARK WORLD

Thor Holds Hammer, Has Big Arm in First Poster for THOR: THE DARK WORLD

This first poster for Thor 2 may be simple and boring and a result of lazy Photoshopping but hey, it’s something. He holds a hammer, a lightning does a strike and his golden, godly locks are a-blowin’.  Two years ago, I was down on the whole Avengers prospect but I will admit that I was...

First Posters for 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE and ONLY GOD FORGIVES

First Posters for 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE and ONLY GOD FORGIVES

  300: Rise of an Empire and Only God Forgives may have a few similarities – gruesome violence, hard R-rating – but I don’t think that there is much to tie the two films together outside the fact that I have brand spankin’ new posters for each of them. One poster is swattered in a...
