      I love the typography of "6 rules of modern poster....".
      what font is it?

      So true. Sick and tired of the same boring designs! At one point there were two movies out that had the same poster I assumed it was the same movie! Wish people would get more creative *sigh*

      Been a while since I printed out something to hang in my cube, but this is great. I work with reformatting movie poster art all the time and I started rattling off the movies that fit into each of these categories.. Wedding Crashers, American Pie, The Bounty Hunter, any Katherine Heigel movie, Unstoppable... Well done Dr. Monster.

      I would add an amendment that most by-the-numbers action thriller posters tend to have the protagonist holding a pistol: either aiming out towards the viewer or held pointing up as if they're about to clear a roomful of terrorists.
