Below is a heckuva fun poster created for a 2009 screening of The Monster Squad at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema by artist Tyler Stout.
This a great design, capturing all the characters and moments of a cult-favorite monster movie that kicked creature butt all over Van Helsing!
Unfortuantely, the blue variant version of the poster is sold [...]

Also, much to the delight of film and music fans, Steve Jablonsky’s (The Island) fantastic score for the film is finally be released on CD. Even those who wouldn’t typically buy a musical score CD have been requesting this [...]
This is the first photo (though it is a non-film one and not terribly exciting) from Harrison Ford’s latest Indiana Jones film. As I’m a great admirer of the Indiana Jones series, I’m really excited about seeing another story involving the globe-trotting archeologist.
