Movie Posters: Iron Man 2, Cyrus, The Experiment One of my favorite things about going to the movies as a kid, besides the movies themselves and the trailers, was walking through the lobby of my local multiplex and checking out all the posters, banners and standees for the upcoming films. The art of poster design has gone to hell, I’ve grown up and become cynical, but I still love looking at theatrical one-sheets....
Movie Trailer: The Long-Delayed ‘Case 39’ If the trailer forCase 39looks like a time capsule, that’s because it is. The film was shot in 2006, at a point when it looked more weird to seeBradley Cooperin a leading role, and less weird to seeRenee Zellwegeronscreen at all.

Pixar’s Films Ranked: From The Revolution Of ‘Toy Story’ Through The Adventurous ‘Inside Out’ The release ofInside Outis an invitation to revisit all the films from Pixar, going back to the studio’s 1995 debutToy Story. That movie changed the landscape of feature animation with stunning immediacy; after Pixar hit the scene nothing was the same.

Really Bad Posters For Really Bad Movies: Untraceable I haven’t seen Untraceable, but I have seen the trailer, and I feel like I’ve seen probably two minutes too much for this film. Yes, I am prejudging this flick, but at least I’m disclosing this fact upfront. IMPAhas two new posters for the Diane Lane/Colin Hanks FBI Hacking Thriller. You got to love it when the theatrical advertising is just as bad as the movie, and this seems to be a prime example....
