In a summer laden with big-budget, CGI-heavy action movies, there is only one film whose protagonist can say, "I beat the crap out of a man using a rolled-up magazine." As you may have guessed, that man is Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), the impossible-to-kill hero of this August's The Bourne Ultimatum. We have an exclusive first look at the brand-new poster below (click on the image for a larger version).

Directed by Paul Greengrass (United 93, The Bourne Supremacy), this is likely to be the last chapter in the already legendary Bourne saga. This time around, expect another kickass car chase (the franchise is known for them) and a whole lot more of the visceral, gritty, realistic action that sets the Bourne movies apart from so many other films in the genre. As the poster's tag line suggests, Ultimatum will also see everyone's favorite amnesiac spy experience a little something known as "total recall." And from the looks of the trailer, that is not going to be a good thing for the bad guys.

Frank Miller fans, epic-movie junkies, Gerard Butler-loving women and comic book fanboys of the world, we've got a special treat for you: The first-ever peek at the new poster for 300.

Based on Miller's acclaimed graphic novel of the same name, 300 tells the story of a group of valiant Spartans -- somewhere in the vicinity of about 300 I'd say -- who made a stand against the reputedly invincible and undeniably gargantuan Persian army at Thermopylae in 480 B.C.

Fans of the graphic novel will note that the poster image bears an eerie resemblance to an illustration from Miller's book -- and this is no coincidence. Director Zack Snyder took painstaking care to make sure he did justice to Miller's work. And as this poster hints, the film appears to have all the action of Gladiator and the eye-catching visual beauty of Sin City. Not a shabby pedigree, if I do say so myself. Look for 300 in theaters on March 9.
