I really enjoyed this movie, it was surprisingly weird, as well being obviously full of lush dark fairytale eye candy. It did remind me a lot of Ridley Scott's Legend - but played a bit more seriously. 

It offered some really unique visuals, especially in the Enchanted Fairy Forrest sequence - which despite being the one bright fanciful setting in the story still managed to be wonderfully creepy.

Some more R&H work via Flickering Myth - which has a really excellent and thorough 

article (more photos, animatics, clips, etc) on all the Visual Effects here.

Catwoman Nolan-esqe by Bill Mudron (circa 2008)

I do really like the way Catwoman was done in Dark Knight Rises - but this Nolan-esqe
costume re-design by Bill Mudron (from 2008!) is still way cooler.

A Nice Convertible Is No Substitute for A Flying Car

The clever concept of this Total Recall tie-in ad is completely undermined by featuring the 

decidedly un-futuristic and conventional looking Chrysler 200 Convertible.
