Vintage Movie Wallpaper of the Day
Sunday, July 5, 2009

Cold Sweat (De la part des copains) is one of the few Charles Bronson films I’ve yet to see. It comes from noted filmmaker Terence Young (Wait Until Dark and several early James Bond efforts) who also re-teamed with Bronson in The Valachi Papers and Red Sun. The reviews I’ve read for this have all been incredibly mixed with most either really like or really disliking it. However one looks at the movie I think we can all agree this is one fantastic Japanese poster for it!

There doesn’t appear to be any solid DVD releases of this but I’ll try and watch this one soon.

“This film is going to be ever more ramped up, ever more offensive, with more action, more ridiculousness, more everything. I was completely excited by how ludicrous and outrageous they made part two. This one takes it to the next level.”
- Jason Statham on Crank 2: High Voltage

Mark your calendars now for the April 18th Alamo Drafthouse midnight screening in Austin, Texas (more info). Crank 2: High Voltage (official site) looks to be the adrenaline rush meets overflowing testosterone action movie for 2009 cinema. Be sure to also check out Patton Oswalt discussing Jason Statham (read here).

As far as westerns go this is a love it or hate it affair with most seeming to like regardless the performances by Lee Van Cleef and Jim Brown. However you feel there is no getting around this outstanding poster for El Condor. Nothing like a great Lee Van Cleef or Jim Brown poster!

New Cinema Wallpaper of the Day
Saturday, February 14, 2009

A whole slew of new imagery from Watchmen came out yesterday and over the course of the next several days I will do my best and getting most of it it up. Now many sites seem to be posting these at much smaller sizes which really don’t do it just so I will be posting this at the extra larger 1500 pixel width size so that fans can really see the full scope of details.
