Top 5 Comic Book Superhero Movies!
It was with a huge sense of anticipation, as well as a hand full of popcorn that I took my seat for “The Avengers” (2012) movie. Despite being directed by Joss Whedon (known for “Buffy the Vampire”), and having an incredible cast featuring Robert Downey Jr. Liam Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson and Marc Ruffalo, there was still a sense of lingering doubt as the lights dimmed.

Movie Posters with Optical Illusions
“The Silence of the Lambs” (1991) is a film that inspired me to launch Scene 360 online magazine in 2000. The goal of the site was to analyze movies, showing artistic influences and more. This motion picture is full of real life connections from art (linking to Salvador Dali) to criminology (case studies of Ed Gein, Ted Bundy, Albert Fish, and Gary Heidnick), and entomology (inspiration from Greek mythology and Gothic literature). And as for the poster design, it is also a fine use of a visual illusion, one that is well-known and has become timeless.
Octopus vs Shark
Tattooer Gonzalo Muniz Matito works at Last Port Tattoo Estudio in Leon, Spain. His designs are vintage inspired, and his coloring (red, yellow, green, and blue) resemble Mexican religious art (e.g. Virgin of Guadalupe).
