Jul 15 2008 'Eagle Eye' Poster Has Multiple Monaghans, LaBeoufs
With all the various overlaid angles and mustaches, I keep thinking this is from a '70s band's television appearance. Except instead of music, this is a concert of intensity, all songs written and performed by S. LaBeouf.

Jun 25 2008 New 'Eagle Eye' Trailer with Even Stevens: Action Star
Eagle Eye, starring Michelle Monaghan and Shia LaBeouf, has a new trailer. The film is directed by Disturbia's DJ Caruso based on a story by Steven Spielberg, that story being that a terrorist group enlists the unwilling help of a patchy-bearded youth and a single mom by way of cell phone--one more reason to fear technology.

Duckie must be rolling in his grave (a shallow hole the exact shape of Two and a Half Men).

Nov 14 2007 'Made of Honor' Poster is So McDreamy
To fully grasp the complexity of the poster for Made of Honor, there are a few things you're going to have to understand.
First, the plot: Are you familiar with the constant, one-sided longing for marriage that exists in all mixed-gender best friendships, and only materializes itself when one of the friends is getting married? Or have you seen My Best Friend's Wedding? Well, it's happened again! Dempsey's got to stop his best friend Michelle Monaghan from marrying someone less McDreamy. But in an exceptionally progressive move, Dempsey also must handle maid of honor duties, and smug grinning duties.
