“Dead Man Down” Moving Up

I’m not too excited about the poster for Dead Man Down, but the trailer looks awesome.

Directed by Niels Arden Oplev [who directed the original The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo], Dead Man Down stars Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace, Terrence Howard, Dominic Cooper and Armand Assante.  Farrell plays a hit man seduced to kill a crime boss.

If that’s not enough to get you in line for a ticket, perhaps these Five Things to Know About Colin Farrell’s New Revenge Thriller will do the trick.

Dead Man Down has now moved up to my “must-see” list.

Does The Rock Go Over the Top in Snitch?

Have you seen this poster for Dwayne The Rock Johnson in Snitch?  Yeah, well don’t feel bad.  I hadn’t either until just a while ago.

I’ve got a bad feeling about Snitch.  The trailer didn’t do much for me and neither does this poster. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Dwayne Johnson fan, but I just can’t get too excited about Snitch.

What other movie does the Snitch poster remind you of?  A tough guy in a movie about a trucker who wants to save his son.

Over the Top anyone?

Yeah, I know.  The movie plots for Snitch and Over the Top are totally different.  Will it really matter though, if the end result is the same?

Thanks to IMPAwards where you can see a really big Snitch if you want.

Doug Dabbs is Expendable


Doug Dabbs is back! I first met Doug in 2011 at Heroes Con. I was heading out from the show and saw his art. If there had been time, I’d have got a sketch on the spot.

I told Doug I would get a piece from him in 2012 and I did. Two in fact. This piece is Doug’s riff on Barney Ross from The Expendables. Since it is one of my favorite sketches from 2012, I thought it would be fitting to go out with a bang! – Craig

New “Good Day to Die Hard” Poster & Featurette

I don’t know about you, but I’m digging this latest A Good Day to Die Hard poster.  Maybe that’s because I’m a huge fan of the Die Hard series.

If you’re a Die Hard fan, you’ll probably want to check out this featurette presented by Jai Courtney who plays Bruce Willis’ son in the movie.

Thanks and a Yippe Ki-yay to the fine folks at Coming Soon.

Buy Art & Help a Child Get a Christmas Toy

About a year and a half ago, I did a post about Kyle Hilton‘s cool Breaking Bad paper dolls art.

Then about six months ago I did a post about his Pulp Fiction paper doll art.  As I said then, I’m not a fan of paper dolls, but when they’re as cool as the ones that Kyle does, they deserve to be mentioned. 

Until December 18th, all proceeds from any paper doll prints sold at Kyle’s Society 6 shop will go directly to giving a child in need a toy this holiday season!  

Mike Henderson Gets Carter

This week we have Mike Henderson and his take on Sly as Jack Carter. Mike is a freelance artist who has worked for DC, IDW, Marvel, and Nike to name just a few. I saw Mike would be a guest at Heroes Con and really liked his art [especially a Conan piece that he drew following Frank Frazetta’s death].

I met Mike at Heroes and set up a commission for the Jack Carter sketch posted today. My son, [also named] Mike, was with me at Heroes and knew how much I liked the Conan piece. Heroes was in June. In October, my son gave me a birthday gift — yep, the Conan piece by Mike Henderson!
