Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C-; C+ Review: I can’t imagine anyone wanting to stop and read this poster. Too much text often turns moviegoers off. Even if it is just critics’ praise. Plus, other than people wondering why there’s…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Alternating bars, color and film image, is such an original notion that I’m surprised no one has come up with it before… Trailer Rating: C+ Review: There are kernels of intriguing story elements…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Another fairly bland poster. Viggo Mortensen isn’t the box office draw he needs to be in order to pull of this poster. His homely image will certainly not pull in his small legion…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: From a blocking perspective, the poster is fairly strong. Sandwiching the White House between he journalist and the investigator is a potent image and the positioning/look of the faces is evocative. However, overlaying…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: It’s a little too simplistic and a little too obvious. There are probably many more compelling choices of framing and situation, but this is all they could come up with apparently. Trailer Rating:…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: Taking “images” from the film is seldom a good idea, but the choice of foreground images is quite clever considering the import of it to the plot according to the trailer. Trailer Rating:…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: The mustard yellow background is a little less vibrant than the other yellows being used this year, but still not very original and the smattering of film images around the outside edge with…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: I’ve noticed a hand-drawn art work motif to nearly every Bollywood movie I’ve yet seen. It’s not very attractive to me personally and the image contained within is hardly indicative of the film’s…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: The colors of the poster blend well and the symbolism of the darkened, storm-laden sky is quite accessible. However, Troy Garity and Sissy Spacek’s placement and positioning feel entirely out of place. Trailer…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Why the makers chose to use such a Black Dahlia-like image for the bottom of the poster is about as inexplicable as the choice to highlight four of the film’s actors with head…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Dreadful use of split bars with film images separated by poster color, this poster is about as generic as many of the film’s plot elements from the trailer. Trailer Rating: B- Review: It…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Fits the title perfectly, but as far as the trailer goes, the title doesn’t fit the movie. The colors are a bit harsh and don’t blend very well and it takes too long…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Looking at this poster and the title of the film, you might expect this to be an homage to blaxploitation pics, but appearances can be deceiving. Trailer Rating: D- Review: This trailer is…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Other than the muted colors in a tintype-style photo, the poster has very little artistic value. It seems to exist in spite of istelf and will do very little to pull in an…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: What is this Beautiful Truth the poster talks about? Apparently, it’s the apple. But that’s all you can really get from this poster, though the globalization of the apple is a bit tired…
