I hate the Saw movies. Despite what some people think, the first one was bad and they just got worse from there. Bad acting and directing gave way to one attempt after the next to shock the audience more and more, while becoming more convoluted and cocky with each outing. The fourth Saw movie was especially bad, the worst of the franchise.

Still, even though the main villain has been dead for over a full movie now, Lionsgate is milking its franchise once again with Saw V. I don’t blame them – audiences continue to swarm to this franchise for some God-awful reason. How much abuse can audiences take? Lionsgate is putting that question to the test.

Regardless, Lionsgate recently released a new Saw V movie poster, and I have to admit that it’s pretty damn good. Disturbing and creepy, it features Tobin Bell’s face plastered over someone else. Clever, and damn good marketing. Here’s the movie poster:

Check out the funny new movie poster for The Hammer, starring Adam Carolla.

IMP just posted the movie poster for the upcoming movie Arthur and the Vengeance of Maltazard, which is coming to theaters in 2009. I hadn’t heard of the film before today, but certainly found the movie poster to be intriguing.

Arthur and the Vengeance of Maltazard is written and directed by Luc Besson, and in IMDB is marked as an animated film. It’s country is listed as France, but it will be an English-language film.

Here’s the Arthur and the Vengeance of Maltazard movie poster:

This movie may end up being mindless entertainment, but I must admit that Jumper looks pretty fun. Coming in 2008, it’s about a few individuals who can teleport to anywhere they think about in a split second. The special effects look pretty good, and the concept is neat. Here’s a new poster:

Check out the sweet new international poster for The Dark Knight:

Hey everyone, check out the new Cloverfield movie poster. The marketing campaign has kicked into full gear as we’ve seen the trailer, a ton of new revealing photos and an official title all in the last week – the only thing yet to be seen is the monster (or monsters) itself. Frankly, I hope they keep the movie under wraps until the film releases on 1-18-08.

Now, the studio has released the new Cloverfield movie poster, which is exactly like the old one only with a different aspect ratio and the official title.

Without that extra space at the top, doesn’t it look a bit squished?

I’m excited for Atonement. Even though it is a period piece, it has good early reviews, hottie Kiera Knightley, rising star James McAvoy, and director Joe Wright, the man behind another Kiera Knightley period piece Pride and Prejudice (easily the best Jane Austen film I had ever seen – no, I haven’t seen the Colin Firth version).

The movie trailer is great, and now the studio has released three new character posters. It’s a bit surprising to have character posters for a movie like this, as it’s not one you would necessarily expect to appeal to the masses. More surprising is that the character posters are relatively edgy for a war drama… Click on the movie poster to the right to see the rest.

Here’s new the new teaser poster for the upcoming horror movie The Eye. The movie, a remake of a Japanese horror film (can’t you tell just by looking at the poster?), stars Jessica Alba as a blind woman who regains her eyesight… except she gets more than she bargained for.

The movie poster for The Eye looks pretty cool, and I’m certainly intrigued by the project. The downside? Jessica Alba isn’t featured anywhere in the poster, ideally with fewer articles of clothing than more.

Rambo, starring Sylvestor Stallone, hits theaters January 25, 2008, and Lionsgate has just made the new outdoor movie poster available. It’s not nearly as cool as the regular poster, but certainly still has an appeal for it. I can’t believe I’m saying this about a Stallone movie, but I’m really looking forward to this bloodbath…
