Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D- Review: I’ve seen a very small version of the real poster elsewhere and this isn’t it.

Film Preview: Chaos Theory (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Simple doesn’t begin to describe this atar-on-a-bike, generic title font wall hanging.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B-; F Review: The reflective nature of the poster is quite fitting when compared with the film’s plot, which is better revealed in the second trailer.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Overly simplified and obvious, the poster features the diamond, the hallway and the two stars from the preview.

The DVD Report #40
A long, but ultimately rewarding film, Andrew Dominik’s The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is informed by its gorgeous cinematography by ace Roger Deakins and the score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.

Film Preview: The Duchess (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+; D+ Review: A real poster putting Keira Knightley full front. It’s worth a try, but the period costumes aren’t likely to pull in the audience that would see Knightley in bigger budget fare. Case

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: The famed red-black-and-white I complained about last year.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: The obsession with animated backgrounds with live action foregrounds is mystifying.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: I’m sure in the context of the film, this poster has some significance.

Film Preview: The Grand (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: This black-on-yellow poster tries to represent a playing card while being different.
