New Cinema Wallpaper of the Day
Friday, December 26, 2008

This Marfa, Texas area lensed film grows on me each time I see it. There are a couple of different Japanese posters for the film and this one is by far my favorite as I think it fuses everything together quite well in very minimal fashion and colors.

The official website for Oliver Stone’s W. has now launched www.wthefilm.com. Right now the only thing there is the trailer, but we can expect much more in the coming weeks ahead!

Josh Brolin may not seem like the first choice in terms of physical characteristics to play George W. Bush, however, I cannot think of any actor who holds all the other intangibles that could really bring him to life. His naturalistic approach, stoic gaze, deadpan humor and cowboy demeanor certainly will lend him well in this outing.

The first picture above certainly makes me feel nostalgic with it clearly showing the form Texas Rangers stadium, Arlington Stadium. This stadium has since been torn down, so they must have dressed a different stadium to act in its place, which does seem odd as Arlington Stadium has a very unique and hard to match look. I’ll certainly be interested in how its realized in the film as I spent many nights watching baseball get played there under the stars.

Inspired Japanese poster artwork for the latest Coen Brothers film, No Country for Old Men. The artwork itself features a distortion of brown that makes the overlying area around the cow skull seem more artifacted than normal, which is certainly an interesting added artistic choice.

Incredibly striking scenic picture in “No Country for Old Men.” Josh Brolin certainly in my mind put in one of the better and more under appreciated performances of 2007 as Llewelyn Moss. There isn’t a lot of dialogue in his role as it’s mainly a body language and expression type of a part he pulls of admirably. Who knew Brand Walsh would go on to be such a badass?
