I found this really bad ass! poster art created by artist Ibraheem Yousseff over at our geeky friends Geek Tyrant. Yousseff took four classic Quentin Tarantino films and designed some really creative newly re-imagined movie posters for each one of the films. The films include Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2.
Check out the posters below and share your thoughts. Enjoy!

We Think This 'American Psycho' Advertisment Did Its Job!

Now this is truly a funny story. A TV station in New Zealand called TV2 has put up an amazing billboard to announce the airing of American Psycho. Now what makes this so brilliant is that it is so intune to the movie. If you're not familiar with the movie you're more than likely starring at the sign wondering what in the hell they are trying to sell you...
Most passer byers who see the ad would probably not know what it means but having seen the movie you will no instantly what they we're going for. This may be one of those cases that it's to close to the source for most to get but considering the interest it's generated on the internet I'm sure it will be talked by millions of fans. So the skinny here is we think it was a brilliant movie.
The sign did it's job if not by accident.

Cool: Some Fun Geek Marketing With A Clever American Psycho Billboard Ad

I saw this on Cinematical and had to post it as out Cool post because its the perfect little piece of fanboy marketing that makes me smile.
In New Zealand there is a billboard marketing their TV2 airing of Mary Harron’s film, American Psycho. The picture below is advertising the Bret Easton Ellis adaptation starring Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman and Jared Leto, Josh Lucas, Justin Theroux, Bill Sage, Chloë Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon, Willem Dafoe, and Samantha Mathis. The billboard takes on the classic business card scene we all know and I love:
“The Perfect Billboard. Eggshell white with romalian type. Nice. Raised lettering, a subtle 7 inch bone border, and just look at the tasteful thickness of the headline. All perched on four evenly spaced 3.2 metre powder coated stanchions. My god, it even has a watermark.”
Nothing better than some yuppy dudes comparing business card quality and style. American Psycho

From Horror Squad
Reasons I'd move to New Zealand: ridiculously beautiful landscape, sheep, the Thompson Twins and this awesome American Psycho billboard TV2 erected for an upcoming TV airing of Mary Harron's film.
Ads of the World posted this picture advertising the Bret Easton Ellis adaptation starring Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman and Jared Leto, Josh Lucas, Justin Theroux, Bill Sage, Chloë Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon, Willem Dafoe, and Samantha Mathis. The billboard takes on the classic business card scene:

Clever work on some film geek's part. I hope people will actually take the time to read the damn thing. Pick up the American Psycho Blu-ray here,

We are leaving Kubrick behind and fast approaching Hyams. If you get that reference, go grab yourself a cookie. It is time for us to reflect back on the decade that was.

30. Requiem for a Dream (2000)
Helpless minds that stray in a direction far from its capable mass and souls that get eaten away by an urge that’s far more grateful than what it can handle: Four people, all dealing with these difficulties, plan to capture and secure the American Dream; fame and fortune. These four people – boyfriend and girlfriend (Jared Leto and Jennifer Connolly) who are drug addicts, their friend who’s both seller and addict (Marlon Wayans) and Leto’s mother (Ellen Burnstein) who’s losing her grip on reality – all have in mind that the American dream should be spoon-fed to them. Dreams that include being on television, owning a fashion shop and living like rock-stars are all bogged down by each of the dreamer’s economic situation or their appearance.

Top 10 Horror Movies of the Decade

The ReelzChannel 100 began when we asked Leonard Maltin for his favorite Hidden Gems of the decade. His list led the web team into a general discussion about the best movies of the decade and — after no small amount of debate, arguing, and (we're not proud to say) some petty name-calling — we decided we'd better bring it to an end with a company-wide vote. Then it was just a matter of tallying up the votes and hoping for the best. Lucky for us, ReelzChannel is filled with a staff ranging from movie lovers to movie fanatics. What turned out isn't what you'll find on a critic's best of list — instead it's what movie fans really enjoyed.
In day four of the ReelzChannel 100, we highlight the Top 10 Horror Movies of the Decade.

New Zealand Billboard for American Psycho

While the TV airing of a 10 year old film isn't exactly "news", this promotional advertisement for an upcoming TV airing of Mary Harron's American Psycho on New Zealand station TV2 was too cool not to share with our devoted readers and fellow horror enthusiasts.
The Hollywood Reporter Live Feed Blog pointed out the billboard that was erected to showcase the classic business card scene. Granted, if you've never seen the movie, the billboard will probably make no sense. However, if you have, it's a pretty cool and unique way to promote the movie's TV airing.
Based on the Bret Easton Ellis novel, American Psycho stars Christian Bale, Justin Theroux, Josh Lucas, Chloë Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon, Samantha Mathis, Jared Leto and Willem Dafoe. It made our Top 25 of the

American Psycho Ad Even Has a Watermark!

Readers, it's Bateman, Patrick Bateman. You are fans so I think you should know -- I've killed a lot of people. Some girls in the apartment uptown. Some homeless people - maybe five or ten. Um, an Nyu girl I met in Central Park. I left her in a parking lot behind some donut shop. I killed Bethany, my old girlfriend, with a nail gun, and some man, uh ... some old man with a dog last week.
I killed another girl with a chainsaw. I had to, she almost got away, and uh ... someone else there? I can't remember, maybe a model, but she's dead too. And Paul Allen. I killed Paul Allen with an axe in the face, his body is dissolving in a bathtub in Hell's Kitchen. I don't want to leave anything out here. I guess I've killed maybe twenty people, maybe forty. I have tapes of a lot of it.

Best Films Of The Decade (aka The Naughties) From Alex & Terry
List # 1
By Alex Simon
When Terry and I initially discussed writing these lists, I had a tough time thinking back on 20 films over the past decade which I was really taken with, thinking that movies have sunk so low over the past ten years, that even choosing a dozen would be a short-order job. Thirty minutes into it, my list had nearly 60 titles! After much cutting, pasting, and re-cutting and pasting, here are my top 20 films (in no particular order) of the first decade of the 21st century, dubbed by many as “the naughties.” --A.S.
1.No Country for Old Men (Coen Brothers, 2007) An elegiac blend of stark beauty and full-throttle despair from two of our finest filmmakers, set in the contemporary American West. Every frame is damn near flawless, and would have been an even more perfect vehicle for the late Sam Peckinpah.

Today on Christmas, the Chic Geek (my sister) a graphic designer at Utc, got me this really awesome screen print poster of Leonard Nimoy’s Spock from Star Trek: The Original Series. The screen print comes from a small screen print and design firm based out of Chattanooga called Young Monster. The version my sister gave is a two-color one whereas the one below is a three-color version.
Young Monster is an art collective based out of Chattanooga, Tn, specializing in design and screen-printing. Young Monster provides unique, unflinching design solutions for businesses, organizations, bands, and individuals — from gig and event posters to branding and logo development to full-on marketing campaigns. With a core group of four design virtuosos and a rotating cast of additional friends and creatives, they can guarantee a fresh style for every project. They also create and distribute their own brand of Ym apparel and accessories.

Films Of The Decade – Ed’s List

Each decade of celluloid is defined by its psychological preoccupations. Oh yes it is, don’t look at me like that. The 9/11 terror attacks on New York and Washington cast a long shadow over the first decade of the 21st century. The Nineties had been a relatively stable and optimistic era by comparison and was all the more moribund for it. Tom Sizemore’s speech in Katherine Bigelow’s Strange Days (1995) summed up the emerging consensus – “everything’s been done, every kind of music’s been tried, every government’s been tried, every fuckin’ hairstyle. How you gonna make it another thousand years, for Chrissake?”
But it wasn’t quite the end of history after all. After 9/11 the zeitgeist became politically-charged once more as it had been in more polarised times. Entertainment was not immune from this effect, nor could it afford to be. With rare exceptions such as Paul Greengrass

New ‘Knight & Day’ Trailer Looks Nuts

As wacky and unlikeable as Tom Cruise is, you have to hand it to the guy: there’s a reason he got successful in this business in the first place. The man is dynamic as all get-out, and that charisma is half the reason that this trailer for the upcoming Knight & Day works.
Directed by 3:10 to Yuma’s James Mangold, Knight & Day will be in theaters on July 2, 2010. The construction of the trailer, while falling flat on some comedic beats, does give a good indication of what the plot of the film is.
Knight & Day stars Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Maggie Grace, Peter Sarsgaard and Paul Dano. Check out the trailer below!

Yesterday, NPR printed an article about the best and worst movie accents of the decade, asking readers to submit their votes on what actor should nab the award in both categories. As the EW writer who a few years ago helmed our Worst Movie Accents gallery, I decided to look at their choices. (And, unfortunately, since film's all-time worst movie accent -- Kevin Costner in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves -- was brought to screens in 1991, it is not eligible for this award.)
As far as the best accents go, NPR offers up four: Morgan Freeman in Invictus, Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean,

The precursors have been squeezed into an unusually small period this year. The Globes, Bfca, Nyfcc, Lafca and SAG all announced in the space of one week. That's not business as usual. I guess this is one way to squeeze out all those regional critics groups because... who will care now? What does all this mean for Oscar? Generally clear consensus between the major precursors means that Oscar will be nearly a carbon copy. But with an unusual amount of time between the actors announcement and the announcement of Oscar nominations (Still more than a month away) it Might mean that Academy voters react to and against these lists, rather than along with them if you know what I mean. Do you know what I mean?
