Movie Poster Clichés

So how many movie posters or DVD covers have you seen or rented where, let's say, you have a pic of an actor taken from the back often with weaponry?  You'd be surprised - I bet you've seen 10 or more.  How about where the actors are standing back to back?  I bet you've seen 15 or more.  Check out these movie poster clichés, they're pretty darn cool - I would have never realized.

Movies to Watch: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Awww, a breath of fresh air.  No more wolves, no more vampires, no more witches, no more fairies, no more wizards.  Oh wait, Gandalf is a wizard.  Scratch that.  It's time for some Hobbits!!!

The first trailer was released and it is truly an unexpected journey.  I can't wait to watch it.  It will be released a week before the end of the world!!! Woo hoo!!!  The film reunites us with Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, Gandalf, and Gollum.  And a huge list of new characters!  Oh, and you can't forget Orlando Bloom as Legolas! :-)

 

Synopsis:

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” follows title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakensheild. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever … Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths ofguile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s “precious” ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities … A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.

He Begins, He Falls, He Rises Again

I think this is a pretty awesome poster. Wouldn't this look great on a dvd set?  Batman begins, he falls, he rises again! Simply Sensational!

So Is This Dexter As A Woman?

I'm not sure how many of you know who Paz de la Huerta is, but she's an American actress who has appeared in more than 30 movies, and most recently, HBO's "Boardwalk Empire." 

Huerta has been cast in the new movie, "Nurse 3D," and earlier this week the first concept art was released.  Yes those crazy folks at Lionsgate are at it again.  These are the same ones who brought you those crazy movies like SAW and Hostel.

Paz de la Huerta will be playing a character by the name of Abby Russell, who's a beautiful, hard-working nurse by day, and an evil bitch by night. Think of Dexter, but with long legs, long hair, and boobies.

No, really it's about her punishing bad, bad men.  She purposely goes after dishonest ones, and kills them.  Sounds pretty interesting; We'll just have to wait and see.
