Behold the (I-talian?) Inglourious Basterds one sheet. Sure the poster uses recycled images, feels a lot bit like Valkyrie and I really, really, really want to punch that smirk off Eli Roth’s face , but none of that matters because it’s still undeniably bold and undeniably awesome.

On Friday’s Movie Show, we touched a bit on overrated actors (but excellent entertainers): Actors who tend to play the same character iteration with various levels of intensity. I don’t know if Paul Giamatti is one of those actors– I think the argument could be made both ways– but I find the guy a total joy to watch. Whether he’s complaining about rocks in his boots in Saving Private Ryan, giving me a reason not to fall asleep while watching …
So there’s a new poster for the upcoming all-odds-are-on-awful G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra that opens in August. It prominently features the lower anterior money-maker for Sienna Miller (aka The Baroness), two cordless Black and Decker Do-it-Herself drills, icy-hot Photoshop effects and some good and bad guys, too. It also features an ode to Baroness Booty tagline: Evil Never Looked So Good. In other news, Chewbacca’s bowcaster was reported as stolen. Scarlett had no reply at the time of this …
There’s nothing more to be said about Twilight: New Moon. It’s coming up super-fast, women get all swooney at the thought of it and guys wonder why because vampires are dumb. There’s nothing much to say about the poster, either. It’s the one the Twihards have been waiting for– a beefy and defensive Jacob, a “morose is the new black” Bella and a pouty, slouchy Edward– all ready to adorn your wall, desktop wallpaper or both.
One movie I’m looking forward to this summer is Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies,” starring Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Marion Cotillar. I understand there is some trepidation from Mann fans given the director’s last outing was the not-so-great “Miami Vice.” I have a hard time believing Michael Mann is capable of dropping two consecutive cinematic bombs, and based on what I’ve seen from the “Public Enemies” trailer, it’s going to be chock full of gangstery goodness. Shown above are three …
Robert Zemeckis and his motion capture animation. The Polar Express and Beowulf were both dry and stiff experiments in using “actorly animation”* to tell fantastical tales of creepy hobos, jumpin’ hot chocolate guys, a kid with the most annoying voice in the known universe and naked Norsemen and the long-tailed Angelina Jolie yuck-mouths they knock boots with. While both stories had their original mystique, the animatic execution was cold and detached. Zemeckis’ next animation project (remember when he did actual …
Quentin Tarantino has released another basterd for your viewing pleasure, no doubt in anticipation of the “Inglourious Basterds” premire this month at the Cannes Film Festival. The basterd on this poster is Til Schweiger, who plays a Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz, a German-born psychopathic member of Pitt’s Nazi killing brigade.
Here at AATM, we’re beholden to studio marketing departments and the new, pretty stuff they push out. There’s an unwritten agreement, in fact. You make a new movie poster, we’ll put it up. New trailer? Where do we sign! Ok, while it might seem that way sometimes (DISTRICT 9 -cough-cough), we’re really not as easily pushed over as it may seem. Just keep in mind– it’s summer. It’s boy movie season. We’ll cover all the other interesting films and announcements …
