Holidays Movies - Posters

Happy 2015! So, who went to the theatre during the holidays? I saw Into the Woods and Big Eyes and enjoyed both! They both had a great cast & story - I'd recommend both.

I also really liked their posters too, especially the ones for Into the Woods - the background is moving! It's very subtle, but it's there, just look closely - the only movement is in the form of shifting shadows and reflected moonlight! Neat, eh?

After seeing Big Eyes, I fell in love with Margaret Keane's paintings! I want one of those big eyes artwork! I guess the poster will have to do for now : )

What movies did you watched?

 

 

 

The Oscar Statue

For all the movie buffs out there, I'm sure like me, is counting down to the Oscars. The 85th annual Academy Awards will be on Sunday February, 24!

To be honest, I don't really have any favourites this year. Out of the 9 Best Picture, I have still yet to see Amour, Argo, Lincoln or Beasts of the Southern Wild. Click here to see all of this year's nominations.  Let me know, who are your picks?

I do have my predictions - let's see how many I'll get right : )

Best Picture - Argo

Best Actor - Daniel Day-Lewis for Lincoln

Best Actress - Jessica Chastain for Zero Dark Thirty

Best Supporting Actor - Christoph Waltz for Django Unchained

Best Supporting Actress - Anne Hathaway for Les Miserables

Best Director - Steven Spielberg for Lincoln

Best Animated Film - Wrack-it-Ralph

No matter who wins, I hope it will be a good show - I am very looking forward to see Seth MacFarlane, who will be hosting the event. Will you be watching?

Check out this very cool poster that was made as a tribute to all the Oscar winners. It was illustrated by graphic designer Olly Moss. Look closely, it features the best films in the form of the Oscar statue for the past 84 years.

How many can you identify??

The Last Exorcism Part 2 Poster

Check out this very cool visual for The Last Exorcism Part 2 one-sheet. You see it? It's the number 2!

These type of movies is not really my cup of tea, however I do appreciate the design of the poster. I really like the image featured on the poster. What do you think of it? Scarey but so cool!!

New 'Man of Steel' Trailer

I am very looking forward to seeing "Man of Steel". Check out the posters above, the most recent one on the left. To be honest, I am not too crazy about it. I prefer the 'look' of the one on the right.

I can not wait for June 14, 2013!

The Amazing Spider-man

 

One of the summer blockbusters will be coming up in a couple more days. I got a chance to check it a few days early : )

The Amazing Spider-man wasn’t  ‘A-mazing’, I thought it was ‘alright’.

Maybe because I was a little overly excited: felt lucky winning passes to the advance screening, and plus it was on IMAX 3D!! So, I kind of expected a lot.

Don’t get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Spider-man and would recommend it. It was indeed, an entertaining film. I had a great time!

I liked the story, showing a more of a back-story with Peter Parker learning the secret behind his parents’ deaths. I enjoyed Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-man, (probably more than Tobey Maguire) I felt he did a great job and was believable playing a younger Peter.  I also really liked Emma stone! They both had great chemistry on screen. The new villain was cool. And all that web-swinging action (in 3D) was amazing.

NOTE: don’t bother staying to the very end of the credits, there’s no extra scene. However, do stay for a bit after when the film finishes. Looking forward to the sequel : )

The Amazing Spider-man definitely worth checking out. Watching the film in IMAX 3D was very nice, but I think 2D would be just as good. Comic fan or not – you’ll have a swinging good time. Opens July 3^rd.

Check out some of the film posters – love them all!

Asiansploitation 'Goes Deep' Poster

Self-promotion time : ) I helped designed this poster for Asianspoitation latest show - Goes Deep. The great photograph was taken by Raph Nogal.

Asiansploitation is a Toronto based sketch-comedy group. For more info about them and the show, please check out their website here.

Also, check out the lovely post they posted about me creating their poster here. Thank you Asiansploitation - I had a great time working on this! Thank you for giving me the opportunity - I really enjoy designing posters. I use to collect them - movie posters that is, and have binders full of them. My dream would be to one day get the chance to design one for a Hollywood movie : )

For more information (if it's not already all on this great poster above) about their latest show Goes Deep, please click here.

I'm looking forward to checking out the show!! Hope to see you all there! With 4 dates, no excuses not to go and check it out. It's going to be a great show - lots of laugh! Go and get your tickets now!

"Typogami"

Typogami - an typeface inspired by origami and features letters that appear like they have been folded from paper - very nice!

My thoughts on Bully

Last night I was lucky enough to attend an advance screening of the documentary film Bully. The director, Lee Hirsch was also there, which was pretty cool. He and a group of panelists spoke and answered questions at the end of the film.

Bully follows a year in the life of American’s bullying crisis through five kids and their families. The film offered insight into the often-cruel world of children, as teachers/administrators and parents struggle to find answers to stop bullying.

It's a great and very powerful movie. An important film, I think EVERYONE needs to see - especially schools and families. I really hope that this film will bring more attention to the issue of bullying. As one of the panelist pointed out which I agree, the film will definitely be a ‘conversation starter’, a much-needed first step.

Bully opens Friday April 6 at Varsity Cinemas.

The Avengers & LEGO - Movie Poster

Check out LEGO's version of The Avenger's movie poster - neat, eh?!

LEGO is coming out with mini-figures from The Avengers - part of the new Marvel Super Hero Collection -very cute!

So, which version of the poster do you prefer?? FYI, The Avengers will be in a theatre near you on May 4th.

Movie: Man on a Ledge

I know, first thing that comes to mind: what an odd title for a movie, thinking it won't be any good. But don't judge the movie by its title.

I was lucky enough to win advance passes to go check out this movie about 3 weeks ago, thanks to Entertainment One. It comes out this weekend.

Man on a Ledge stars Sam Worthington along with some strong supporting cast, like Jamie Bell ( the boy from Billy Elliot).  I wasn't expecting a lot going into the theatre, thinking cheesy title = a not so good movie, however I was wrong. I actually really enjoyed the movie! It had a good story and was very entertaining! It was funny at times, and exciting - kept me on the 'Ledge' of my seat : ) Worth checking out!

The Dark Knight Rises - New Movie Poster

Check out these posters for The Dark Knight Rises - opening July 2012. Excited?

Poster features Tom Hardy's character, Bane.

Love this visual - the Batman logo carves out into Gotham's skyline.

This is your life.

Love this poster!

Saw this on my friend's blog - hope you don't mind, Ms. VIP : )

Poster - The Ides of March

Check out this poster for the movie The Ides of March, coming out this Fall.

Not really sure what's it all about, but the poster caught my attention. Very nicely designed -  simple with a strong visual - what a neat idea! Looks like a great cast too!! With both Ryan Gosling and George Clooney on the poster, does it really matter what the movie is about?! lol

I'm not a big fan of movies about politics, but with that cast, people will definitely go see it. I have a feeling it might even get some Oscar nominations.

You can check out the preview here .

Crazy, Stupid, Love - Posters

Have you seen the posters for the movie Crazy, Stupid, Love? I've seen it in bus shelters all over the city. They caught my attention - I really like how they have different ones, one for each of the words in the title.

I'm not really sure what the movie is about, but heard some pretty good reviews. Also, looks like a great cast too - I will probably go check this one out!

I'm not too crazy of the Main one - do they really have to put all the actor's pics on it? Favourite is the 'Stupid' one. Grown men acting like kids = funny!

Rethink - No Tankers Oil Poster

Check out this very neat poster idea from Rethink. It is for the Dogwood Initiative's No Tankers project, which endeavours to keep oil tankers out of British Columbia's coastal waters.

Using a water-soluble ink, they created these "leaking" posters. Very cool - love it!

You can check out some other very creative work Rethink have done in the past for the No Tankers project here.

My Thoughts on Fast Five

Fast Five was great!! All the original cast are back; Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, plus a few new people; Dwayne Johnson. Being the fifth one, which takes place in Rio, it didn't disappoint. The storyline was solid, eventhough there wasn't too many 'racing' scenes, the action sequences was done really well. Lots of energy and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The chasing scene, when the two cars were dragging a vault through the city was CRAZY!

Just a heads up, make sure to stay a bit after the end credits. Looks like there's going to be a six!! Can't wait!!
