This is a revolution we never expected...

This Movie Poster Monday we'll be reviewing "Step Up Revolution". This week's five points of the poster are:

(Image credit: Moviefanatic.com)
1) We couldn't believe that this wasn't the first "Step UP" movie poster.

2) We couldn't believe this wasn't the second "Step Up" movie poster.

3) We couldn't believe this wasn't the third "Step Up" movie poster.

4) We couldn't believe they made a fourth "Step Up" movie poster.

5) Are these people all dancing? It actually looks more like a gang fight to us, but more a gang fight like in the music video "Beat It" rather than the mean streets. The one guy in the middle also looks like he's having a rather difficult bowel movement, we hope that they had paramedics on-site that day for the movie poster shoot.

In conclusion, based on our detailed analysis of "Step Up Revolution", we predict that it'll make $35 million during its first weekend.

Holy movie poster, Batman!

This Movie Poster Monday we'll be reviewing "The Dark Knight Rises". This week's five points of the poster are:

(Image credit: Cinemablend.com)
1) This might just be the most anticipated movie poster of the year and now we see why. An explosion in the shape of a bat? Are you kidding us? Genius! Bravo movie poster designer, bravo. How many explosions did the special effects guys have to detonate until they got just the right shaped explosion? We don't even want to know. 

2) Did Christian Bale stand there for every explosion or did he use a stand in? He's so dedicated to his craft that we wouldn't be surprised if he did stand there for hours until they got it just right. He might be a bit nuts, but he's one hell of an actor.

3) Just a warning to everyone on set, if this is Christian Bale in the bat suit, it looks like he might be just about to flip out again on set. Someone better leak the audio for it if he does! We haven't had something that entertaining in a while, and who could forget all the awesome remixes of his tirade that appeared all over the Internet? Inspiration like that doesn't come around everyday for the geeks. The fat, Star Wars kid was probably the last truly inspirational online meme. 

4) Eight movie star names that we recognize! That guarantees at least $80 million for the opening weekend! This movie is gonna make a ton of sweet, bat-coin!

5) This is the last movie. A last movie should be just that, a last movie. Not a last movie that's been broken into TWO last movies. Hear that Harry Potter, Twilight and Hunger Games?

In conclusion, based on our detailed analysis of "The Dark Knight Rises", we predict that it'll make $150 million during its first weekend.

Everyone loves the Ice Age

This Movie Poster Monday we'll be reviewing "Ice Age: Continental Drift ". This week's five points of the poster are:

(Image credit: cinema.theiapolis.com)
1) Look at all the big stars that they managed to fit on this movie poster. The "Everyone Loves Raymond Guy", the guy that usually plays Latino guys, and everyone's favorite grumpy guy! It's amazing they didn't have to make this poster in large format.

2) Did they get a bulk deal on musicians? We can't remember a time on a movie poster when there were more musicians listed than actual actors. With this much musical talent attached, this movie is gonna have one awesome soundtrack... Or should we say, this movie better have one awesome soundtrack!

3) They really know how to increase the concession sales! All this ice and water will make movie goers crave a giant soda with their movie experience! (Unless you're in New York City where you'll have to be happy with a less giant 16 ounce soda.) 

4) Will animal activists stand for the allegations of abuse in this movie poster? Rumors of the mistreatment of animals was whispered on set, but never proven. We may finally have proof in this movie poster. While creative, turning a skunk into a skull and crossbones flag must be at least a bit abusive...

5) This squirrel cracks me up...

In conclusion, based on our detailed analysis of "Ice Age: Continental Drift", we predict that it'll make $76 million during its first weekend.

Anyone want to play spider-ball?

This Movie Poster Monday we'll be reviewing "The Amazing Spider-Man". This week's five points of the poster are:

(Image credit: Collider.com)
1) How many basketballs died to make Spider-Man's costume?

2) Still thinking of all those poor basketballs.

3) Have our superheroes become such divas that spandex is no longer good enough for them?

4) I wonder if the new basketball costume helps Spider-Man bounce off walls better when he's thrown against a wall (which seems to happen in every movie).

5) We've been critical of 3D in the past, but we can't wait to see this in 3D!

In conclusion, based on our detailed analysis of "The Amazing Spider-Man", we predict that it'll make $60 million during its first weekend.
