WORST MOVIE POSTERS OF 2022
Cha Cha Real Smooth
For an indie with a quirky plot and title, it doubles down on its clichéd quirky poster with the yellow-orange background, the stunned emotions and the serif font. How can I tell that this is a movie that featured DJ Casper’s timeless dance-along hit?
Lyle, Lyle Crocodile
Copy and paste the characters in a crossway to “pay homage” to Abbey Road, and you have a dire poster with oddly-positioned characters that have kids-movie reactions.
Mack and Rita
Keaton’s reaction is all of us.
Prey for the Devil
Not sure if this is a mouth sucking piercing split ends or a kitchen sink draining out dark paint.
Strange World
This is one of the most notable evidences of Disney botching the marketing for Strange World. For real, why tentacles? And strangling the supposed heroes?
The King’s Daughter
Not going to make a joke on a very untimely manner. (Check the poster as to which joke.) Just take note of Pierce Brosnan’s pasted Easter Island face.
The People We Hate at the Wedding
Might as well call it “The People We Hate for Skipping the Wedding and Rushing to the Reception”. Also, this family has unnaturally big heads.
The Tiger Rising
And for Dennis Quaid’s second appearance on this list…
The Whale
Pure lazy. For a film that has unwarranted acclaim (credit to Brendan Fraser), the graphics team somehow only used the single still photo of The Whale’s IMDB page, plastered some credits and critics’ blurbs, and called it a day.
Uncharted
We can always rely on Tom Holland blockbusters for bringing back the floating heads trope.

94th Oscars Reaction
Hello guys, I was not able to show real-time updates about the 94th Academy Awards, due to work. But the giving of Oscars does not seem to matter when everyone’s mind is on the Technical Awards being pre-recorded, Rachel Zegler being shunned and…did Will Smith just slap Chris Rock on the face?
Anyway, here are my off-the-cuff thoughts about the awards and the ceremony itself:
All 8 pre-telecasted awards (I am still annoyed, ABC. Don’t ever do that for ratings!)
Best Supporting Actress: Ariana DeBose - West Side Story as Anita (Almost like Rita Moreno is handing over the baton to Ariana)
Best Cinematography: Dune (Well, really expected that.)
Best Visual Effects: Dune (I mean we can’t honor the Ryan Reynolds’s face inserted on an athlete in Free Guy)
Best Animated Feature Film: Encanto (Well, that makes it five Disney princesses in the ceremony, if you count Stephanie Beatriz, which you shouldn’t)
Best Supporting Actor: Troy Kotsur - CODA as Frank Rossi (Just simply happy!)
Best International Feature Film: Drive My Car (Glad my favorite film of 2021 got the recognition it deserved!)
Best Costume Design: Cruella (Jenny Beavan did not use Dalmatian skins here.)
Best Original Screenplay: Belfast - Kenneth Branagh (At least it’s not Don’t Look Up. PTA, we’ll still cheer for you.)
Best Adapted Screenplay: CODA - Sian Heder (This is a surprise!)
Best Documentary Feature: Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) (Did Will Smith just slap Chris Rock on the face?)
Best Original Song: "No Time to Die" from No Time to Die - Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell (Now we can call them Academy-Award winning Billie Eilish and Finneas)
Best Director: Jane Campion - The Power of the Dog (Jane really is the driving force of The Power of the Dog. The Academy forgave her comments.)
Best Actor: Will Smith - King Richard (Smith, take your time. But you got some explaining to do.)
Best Actress: Jessica Chastain - The Eyes of Tammy Faye (Seriously, the makeup of the film is astounding. So, might as well recognize it.)
Best Picture: CODA (It’s nice to see the first streaming movie garner that Best Picture Oscar. Netflix, don’t panic.)
For ceremony highlights:
The hosts: They are serviceable. I just hate the focus on Twitter is on shaming Amy Schumer’s weight and dress.
The performances: Megan Thee Stallion is a distracting one for “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”. The best is “Be Alive” with Beyoncé.
The tributes: So, you nearly shirked Rachel Zegler, but you brought in Tony Hawk, Kelly Slater and Shaun White for the James Bond tribute. Okay, who brought in the ESPN guys to the room?
The memoriam: Nice to have separate tributes for Sidney Poitier, Ivan Reitman and Betty White. Just don’t undercut it with a gospel medley. Kind of lowers the seriousness.
And that moment: Enough joking or demeaning over Will Smith or Chris Rock. I understood Smith’s story, but that was unprofessional. Rock is already an off-the-cuff comedian. But…that was just tone-deaf. This will be a hard discussion for days to come.
