Following a slew of new posters it’s time for another round-up of the latest one-sheets to hit the interwebs, including Bruce Willis’ latest Catch 44, the Mark Wahlberg flick Contraband, hockey comedy Goon, animated family film Happy Feet 2 and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.
Catch .44
For Tes (Malin Akerman) and her two cohorts Kara (Nikki Reed) and Tara (Deborah Ann Woll), the job sounded simple enough: intercept a double-cross drug shipment for their crime boss Mel (Bruce Willis) at an isolated diner. But when an unstoppable chain of events unfolds, everyone soon realizes no one is who they seem and the job may be something other than eliminating the competition. What started as simple instructions has now turned into a deadly cat-and-mouse game – with large guns pointed at everyone. Catch .44 also stars Brad Dourif, Michael Rosenbaum and Shea Whigham.
Contraband
Chris Farraday (Mark Wahlberg) long ago abandoned his life of crime,...

Last year, we shared a heart-warming story about a boy who lived out the dream of becoming a superhero for a day. Thirteen-year-old Erik Martin got his wish courtesy of the Make-a-Wish Foundation and hundreds of volunteers in Bellevue and Seattle, Washington.
Martin, as his superhero alter ego, Electron Boy, saved the Seattle Sounders soccer team and the city itself from the evil clutches of Dr. Dark and Blackout Boy and even got his own comic book. (Read about his super-powered day here.)
Martin lost his battle with liver cancer last week at the age of fourteen. Many inspired by his story have transformed Electron Boy’s Facebook fan page into a place to leave an online tribute to Erik and his family. Over the weekend, the Seattle Sounders held a moment of silence for Erik aka Electron Boy’s passing. His spirit of a heroism has touched the hearts of many around the globe.

This is a wonderfully heart-warming story about a boy who lives out the dream of becoming a superhero for a day. Erik Martin, a thirteen year-old boy living with liver cancer, got his wish answered with the help of the Make-a-Wish Foundation and hundreds of volunteers in Bellevue and Seattle, Washington.
For Erik, April 29th started like any other, but his day took an extraordinary turn when Spider-Man called on him at school. Spidey was one of the few people on earth to know Erik’s secret identity as a crime-fighting superhero called Electron Boy, who “fights the powers of evil with light”. On this day, Spider-Man needed Electron Boy’s help.
Here was the predicament: Villains named Dr. Dark and Blackout Boy had taken the Seattle Sounders football (that’s soccer, not pigskin) team prisoner in a locker room at Qwest Field.
