AFM's Most Outrageous Movie Posters According to The Hollywood Reporter

The Hollywood Reporter has chosen the top 20 most outrageous, amusing and/or over-the-top promotional movie posters from this year's American Film Market.

While the majority of the posters are amusing or over-the-top, I found some to be pretty boring.


One of my favorites:






The poster that had me asking "what the f***?!":

Happy Thanksgiving!


Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there!

To everyone who doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving, Happy Thursday! :)

I'll be spending the day with my family where we'll eat some good food thanks to my mom and watch some football (go 49ers!). I'll probably end the day with a movie. I'm thinking about watching Fast Five (2011), but it could change.

Whatever you end up doing that day, have fun and be safe.

To end this post, I give you a video clip from 2008 that features Sarah Palin and the pardon of a turkey. What happens after the pardon is when it gets hilariously awkward because while she's fielding questions from the media, she's completely oblivious to the fact that turkeys are being slaughtered right behind her.

Teaser Trailer For "Piranha 3DD"

A teaser trailer for the upcoming sequel to Piranha (2010), Piranha 3DD, has been released despite the fact that the movie has been pushed back from its release date.


It was due to hit theaters on November 23rd, but it has been pushed back to an unspecified 2012 date. Before the November 2011 release date, it was originally set to be in theaters during the summer of 2011.

While the uncertain release date for Piranha 3DD is not good news for fans, I have hope that it'll be released in theaters because if it's anything like the original, it'll be a fun movie that doesn't take itself seriously and will be full of gratuitous violence, gore and nudity. If you want to see what I'm talking about, then check out the teaser trailer below!

Trailer and Poster For "Titanic 3D"

A new trailer and poster has been released to promote "Titanic 3D" which will be released on April 6, 2012.



Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox have spent $18 million on the 3D conversion and it's safe to say that they will easily make that money back.

When it was first released in 1997, the film ended up winning 14 Academy Awards and was the highest grossing film of all time until "Avatar" (2009) came along.

Films to Watch This Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is almost upon us, well for those who live in the United States, so here is a small list of movies to watch that take place around the holiday.


Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) - John Hughes




Neal Page (Steve Martin) really wants to get home in time for Thanksgiving, so he accepts Del's (John Candy) offer to ride with him. It's an offer that Neal soon regrets accepting.





Dutch (1991) - Peter Faiman




Dutch (Ed O'Neill) offers to drive his girlfriend's son home from his prep school so they can spend Thanksgiving together. Not a smart move.




What's Cooking? (2000) - Gurinder Chadha




A film that follows four families as they prepare for Thanksgiving and the family conflicts they must deal with.




Son in Law (1993) - Steve Rash



Rebecca (Carla Gugino) brings her friend Crawl (Pauly Shore) home with her for Thanksgiving and ends up having him pretend to be her fiance after her old boyfriend asks her to marry him.




I know that there are more Thanksgiving movies out there, but to be honest, I can't add them to my list since I haven't seen them. I am planning on checking out Home For the Holidays (1995) and Pieces of April (2003), so they could make the list next year. 

Just for fun, here is the fake trailer for Thanksgiving that was directed by Eli Roth for Grindhouse (2007).

New Trailer for "American Reunion"


A new trailer for "American Reunion" has been released. Check it out below.


"In the comedy American Reunion, all the American Pie characters we met a little more than a decade ago are returning to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn’t and that time and distance can’t break the bonds of friendship. It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim and Michelle married while Kevin and Vicky said goodbye. Oz and Heather grew apart, but Finch still longs for Stifler’s mom. Now these lifelong friends have come home as adults to reminisce about—and get inspired by—the hormonal teens who launched a comedy legend."

Look for the movie to hit theaters on April 6, 2012.
