50 Beautiful Movie Posters by Alessandro Cattaneo
(from Smashing Magazine)
An interesting gallery of lovely posters, some obvious, some less so. And it's not at all as pretentious as you might expect.

this week on 100 Films

3 new reviews were posted to 100 Films in a Year this week, and they were...

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)
action sequences are frequent and fantastic throughout. The raid on the castle is tense, exciting and ultimately devastating — the troops left behind to certain slaughter is an incredibly dark moment in a PG-rated kids’ film.

Righteous Kill (2008)
it’s dull. Properly dull — not slow, not measured, not leisurely — just dull. Director Jon Avnet tries to spice things up occasionally with some swishy camerawork or editing, apparently forgetting he’s lensing a procedural thriller about a pair of 60-something cops and not Miami Vice 2.

Waitress (2007)
Some have criticised it for putting so much levity near such tragic topics; I can only assume they live in a different world to our’s, presumably one where either everything is punctuated by a laughter track or one where everything is underscored by Coldplay.

More next Sunday.
