7 Cool Posters To Hang On Your Wall In 2009
Ace ads for Jennifer's Body, Friday The 13th And More...
Jennifer's Body
Genius fly-sheet that nails the mix of sex and horror promised by Diablo Cody's Juno follow-up. It's also proof that Megan Fox is inherently sexy, even when all you're looking at is her gob.
Friday The 13th
Gloriously creepy glimpse at the '09 Jason Vorhees. The mist, the moon, and the mask - together again at last.
Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs
When someone told us they were making another Ice Age movie, we weren't really all that arsed. But when we saw the poster, and our jaws dropped at the beautiful colouring on that massive dinosaur, we were suddenly interested again. Job done, poster people.
Watchmen
There's approximately 8 million Watchmen posters currently available online, but this is the one we'd put on our wall. Guess why?
Up
Proof positive that a stark, simple image can be as evocative as any packed poster. The fact that this one also contains the words 'Pixar' and '3D' also make us want us to put it up in our living rooms, so we can glance at it once a day and get all excited about seeing those balloons in glorious 3D.
Fanboys
That's no ordinary lightsaber - get close and you'll see it's one of those fold-out torch ones you can get from your local Toys-R-Us. Which is an ace representation of the flick's plot - a gang of Star Wars geeks decide to break into Skywalker Ranch so they can show their dying pal a print of The Phantom Menace.
Terminator Salvation
The original version saw a Terminator skull explode onto LA, marking the moment when a million ad executives decided that they should probably learn how to edit in Flash.
