IMPAwards.com posted two new posters for “The Road.” I like the one above better than this one which I really don’t care for. I think that the first gets across the struggle that the father and son are facing as they cross the barren landscape hoping to avoid cannibals and worse. The second reminds me of the final shot of a movie, when the worst is over.
I kinda like this poster for “Descent 2.” It’s not a great one by any means, but it does convey a sense of fear and horror which of course is what it should do. Hopefully the actual movie will do the same. [Click here to see a cavernous size version at IMPAwards.com]
I was a fan of the original “Boondock Saints” movie. I’m looking forward to the sequel… but [and you heard the “but” coming, didn’t you?], I was hoping for a bit more from this trailer for “Boondock Saints: All Saints Day.”
I like this poster. Hopefully I’ll feel the same about the movie.
Jeremy Bartic recently ran a contest on his Deviant Art site and I was the winner! My prize was the drawing above! How cool is that? Very cool I say.
Thanks again Jeremy for running the contest and for the cool art!
I hope that “The Descent 2” lives up to the orginal. This trailer left me feeling like that might be a tall order.
Have you seen this new trailer for director Christopher [The Dark Knight] Nolan’s next film?
Inception stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger and Michael Caine.
I’m interested to see more… but not totally sold yet.
This is the second piece of Stallone art that I’ve gotten from Andrew Charipar. You may remember the Cobra piece that he did at FX. A few months later, Andrew was sketching at the Florida SuperCon and so I hit him up for another piece.
Andrew worked up this very cool shot of Deke from “Nighthawks.” Love the design and how Andrew went back in with the colored pencil for highlights. When I picked up the piece Andrew said he already had an idea for his next Stallone drawing, and I can’t wait to see what it is. Until then we have Andrew’s blog and his DA site to hold us over.
Maybe it’s me today. The “Avatar” trailer didn’t thrill as much as I’d hoped, and neither does “The Wolfman” trailer. Is it me???
I’m a huge James Cameron fan, and have been waiting a long time to see what his Avatar would be like.
This first teaser gives glimpses of some really cool stuff… along with other scenes that make me go “uh, okaaay…”
Hopefully the really cool will greatly outweigh the “okay.”
This Saturday and Sunday, Orlando, Florida will be the place to be if you plan to atend Mini MegaCon. And why wouldn’t you? Look at all the movie, tv celebrities and great comic artists who’ll be there. Plus hours there will be lots of panels, costume contests and more. It promises to be a lot of fun. Hope to see you there!
My latest addiction is Flickchart. It’s a website based on a simple premise: it is possible to create a definitive ranking for your favorite movies. But you’ve tried without success, you say. How can you choose between “The Wizard of Oz” and “Enter the Dragon” or “Aliens” vs “Terminator 2” or…
But it can be done. The site simply posts two movie posters and you choose the movie you like best, it then ranks the movies based on your choices and repeats endlessly with different movies. If you like movies and rankings, give it a try. Just be careful… a few times and I was hooked… and loving it!
On August 29, 2009, UFC 102 will feature Randy “The Natural” Couture facing off against Antonio “Minotauro” Nogueira in the main event. How cool would it be to see Sly Stallone with some behind the scenes “Expendables” footage to help promote the fight?
Click here and then you tell me… better yet, tell your friends!
We’re back into the ZONE vault checking out some more 1978 vintage Mike Zeck art from RBCC 145. Can you imagine Mike doing an issue [or even better an entire graphic novel] featuring Jonah Hex? Yeah. I can hear Beatty saying, “Dream on.” Oh well, at least we have the Jonah Hex movie to look forward to.
Until I saw this trailer yesterday before seeing “District 9,” I hadn’t heard anything about “Law Abiding Citizen.” Heck, it wasn’t until about halfway through the trailer that I even recognized Gerard Butler. Although the concept is a bit far-fetched, the trailer makes “Law Abiding Citizen” look like it will be a fun ride.
And who doesn’t like a fun ride?
