Funny motion poster for 'The Other Guys'

This motion poster for Adam McKay's upcoming cop comedy "The Other Guys" showed up at ShoWest recently, but now you can admire it here on the Web as well. It's ready to roll right after the jump, and I have to admit: I like it. McKay has the capability to create amusing comedy, and it looks like Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are a good match for this kind of thing. The film is set to open Aug. 6, 2010.

Ferrell and Wahlberg play two cops envying Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson, who play an elite cop duo. Eva Mendes, Michael Keaton, Steve Coogan and Damon Wayans also star in the flick. Poster is well done, and it defintiely leaves me wanting to see more. It's the perfect introduction to a teaser, which I hope we'll get to see soon. McKay last helmed "Step Brothers," and his credits include "Talladega Nights."

So-so motion poster for 'Pandorum' hits

In case you've missed it, motion posters are the new cool thing to promote films online. They're essentially flash vidoes or other similar files that feature a moving poster. While we've seen a couple of great ones of this kind recently, I've also come across some rather lame ones.

Take the new motion poster for "Pandorum." It's cool they put the effort into making one, but to be honest, this one's getting pretty annoying after, say, three seconds. You can check it out for yourself after the jump, and let me know what you think. I'm not impressed.

'Saw VI' gets a so-so motion poster

Sure, motion posters are a cool thing... as long as they're pretty awesome. While I've already come across some great ones during the past months (the one for "Terminator Salvation" was sweet), I've also seen some that failed to intrigue me.

Anyway, a new motion poster for "Saw VI" just popped up at Yahoo! Movies, and you can check it out below. Okay, it starts off interesting enough, but I admit I don't really like where it's heading. In other words, it could've been a lot more intense, don't you think?

Directed by Kevin Greutert, "Saw VI" will hit theaters Oct. 23, 2009. Synopsis: Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw's legacy. However, when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw's grand scheme is finally understood.
