FIRST LOOK : X-Men: First Class Teaser Poster

The teaser poster for X Men First Class is making rounds on the net. The image looks cropped from a wider image and therefore I have my doubts on its authenticity. The scripture on the shield is cut out which would ideally have been a real teaser. It is probably a fan made one, but enjoy it anyways.

POSTER POURRI : Polish Movie Posters

I stumbled upon this unique art form of film posters from Poland. Apparently the poster art started in Poland sometime in the late 19th century and evolved over the years to its current form. It is characterized by its peculiar use of colors and its abstract and surreal nature. Poster art is not just limited to film posters but extends to business advertisements, theater, politics and other arenas as well. Here I have put up some samples posters comparing the Polish posters[on the left] with the Hollywood ones[on the right]. Though I like them both, Polish ones look more artistic and hence demand more respect.

Apocalypse Now
    


Jaws
    

Platoon
     

Roman Holiday
    

Rosemary's Baby
