In an effort to send you happily off into your weekend, we present to you with the Mondo poster for Kinji Fukasaku's 'Battle Royale.' The Austin-based movie art masters have teamed artist Kevin Tong with the creator of the 'Scott Pilgrim' comics, Bryan Lee O'Malley to create a truly unique poster for the cult classic. Mondo has also partnered…

I was aware of Brian Helgeland's Jackie Robinson biopic '42,' due to be released this year, but it was seeing the trailer before another movie in theaters this week that really got me excited for it. Chadwick Boseman steps into the role of the pioneering athlete who broke the…

One of the highlights of last night's Super Bowl was the TV spot for Justin Lin's 'Fast & Furious 6.' This thing looks so insanely awesome that I am chewing my own tongue waiting for its release. The scope and ambition of the action sequences appears to have been revved up as far as possible, and I'm so excited…

The thing I love about Shane Black is that almost every hero he has ever written has been, while admittedly funny, flawed and at the end of their rope. Riggs (Mel Gibson) from 'Lethal Weapon' is a great example of this.…

Ever since Nicolas Winding-Refn's 'Drive,' I relish the opportunity to see Ryan Gosling in any and all crime films. That's why I'm very much looking forward to …

Still not completely sure how I feel about Don Scardino's 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone.' On the one hand, I like the concept of rival magicians as the basis for a comedy, because magic is a ridiculous thing about which to become super competitive. However, the first trailer for the movie, which stars …

Being an intern sucks, no matter where it is. For me, it was a juvenile detentions center, and that's only a slight step up from interning at Trump Tower. Shawn Levy ('Real Steel') has made this unfortunate universality the basis of his new comedy …

Blue Sky Studios, the CG company responsible for 'Robots,' 'Rio,' and the 'Ice Age' films is gearing up for their next animated adventure …

If you aren't familiar with Korean director Bong Joon-ho, correct this oversight at once. Seek out 'The Host,' 'Mother,' and/or 'Memories of a…

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is a snitch, or at least that's the basic conceit behind stuntman-turned-director Ric Roman Waugh's 'Snitch.' Johnson plays a father who agrees to go undercover into a drug cartel after the DEA busts his…

As much as the concept for M. Night Shyamalan's new film 'After Earth' intrigues me, and it does, there is just no getting around the fact that it is indeed directed by M. Night Shyamalan. I like the idea of a father and son (in this case played by …

As we enter the most wonderful time of year, what better way to celebrate the joy and happiness of the season than with a new poster for Sony's remake of 'Carrie?' This latest poster for the movie, directed by Kimberly Peirce, isn't strikingly different from the last one, with …

Still not entirely sure how I feel about Sam Raimi's 'Oz: The Great and Powerful.' On the one hand, I'm interested to see the world of Oz re-imagined and expanded and, from the posters and trailers revealed so far, the art direction looks amazing. On the other hand, when I saw it on the big screen, I got this…

'The Great Gatsby' is one of my favorite novels, and I'm really trying to get excited for Baz Luhrmann's film version. The movie will star Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby, …

A lot of my anticipation for Sylvester Stallone's 'Bullet to the Head' comes from the fact that Walter Hill ('The Warriors,'…

Something has begun to nag at me, an uncomfortable, plaguing realization. The cynical side of me is still dreading the new 'Die Hard' movie, with its awful title and lackluster trailers. That part of me wonders whether we need another 'Die Hard' movie at all. However, this rising, nagging notion in my head, bred from the younger version of myself, is that I am actually really excited to see another…

One of the greatest things about living in Austin, Texas is my proximity to Mondo. This incredible company, that began life as a tee-shirt shop attached to the Alamo Drafthouse, collaborates with outstanding artists to create some of the most unique and sought-after movie posters available. One of their most celebrated collaborators is Olly Moss, and today Mondo revealed his new poster for …

Tom Cruise seems to have somewhere in the neighborhood of eight projects lined up over the next couple years. One such project is Joseph Kosinski's 'Oblivion.' The movie takes place in a distant future and revolves around a drone…

As much as I wasn't a fan of 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,' I was really disappointed when 'Retaliation' got bumped off the Summer 2012 lineup. The ads had me hooked, especially that sword battle occurring while the two sides were repelling down a damn mountain! But then we heard that the…
