Sheet-y Saturday.

Where we take a look at posters for upcoming features.

May Tim Burton redeem the last decade or so with Frankenweenie...this lovely one sheet holds the promise of some of his most iconic work and the fact that a non-cadaverous Johnny Depp is featured anywhere should be a good sign. Gotta love the folds and scratches that make it seem as if they just ran into a B sci-fi movie and are releasing it for the first time.

Magic Mike still has the best poster campaign of any movie this year. This 4th of July offering is truly delicious and not just for the obvious reasons. Just look how they completely avoided the peen to remind us that independence is all about freedom of expression.

When i first saw this poster for the last (bless you Lord) Twilight movie, I honestly thought it was a teaser for the next season of America's Next Top Model. Whoever this actress is, she's surely channeling Tyra's fierce "you go bitch" look.

Right?

Today would've been Eiko Ishioka's birthday. What a better way to celebrate her genius than by heading to PopMatters and reading my review for Mirror, Mirror.

The last time we had a sumptuous, lose your life and cry your eyes out, epic melodrama was probably around the time when Joe Wright delivered his astonishing - and despite all the awards, seriously underrated - Atonement. His take on Tolstoy not only looks astonishingly lavish and gorgeous, it also shows how playful he can be as a director. What sounds like a Brech-meets-Visconti take could very well be the most mesmerizing movie of the year and judging from this absolutely gorgeous poster this is one movie that might just blow us all away.

Style Sunday.

This is a weekend of bests. After yesterday's fantastic one sheet, today we have the absolute best red carpet look we've had so far in 2012. The always stunning Blake Lively just outdid herself in this stunning Zuhair Murad siren gown. The nude fabric is gorgeous but what results even more fantastic is the complex beading that forms a sort of shield around the actress. It's like Metropolis meets Rita Hayworth and I can not get enough of it.

Do you love it or think she could've done better? Please share your opinion in the comments!

Can we all agree this Russian poster for Magic Mike is the best poster of 2012 (so far)?
Yes? Why? do you love the bold title design and overall selfawareness as much as I do or do you think you've seen better graphic design at actual strip clubs?
