Film Preview: Choose Connor (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C; C+ Review: We’ve seen several posters using the image-within-an-image technique used to create an interesting poster, but here it just looks haphazard and uninventing.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: While there’s something slightly clever about the leaning tree (no doubt a slight reference to the tree in the front yard the family patriarch has promised to get rid of), the line-up of

Film Preview: Nights and Weekends (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: It captures the realism of the film’s subjects, but it’s not terribly enticing.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: This isn’t the kind of poster that draws an audience.
