Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: The many faces of war are cobbled together in a fairly common poster design used for far too many films. Trailer Rating: B- Review: While another new trailer this week, The Betrayal, is…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: If it’s a documentary about some global issue, there must be a planet somehow inflicted on the poster. The first few examples this year were clever, but they have become progressively weaker and…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Posters have gotten to a point of chaos that becomes quite annoying. While this one isn’t that bad, it does border on unnecessary since very little of the film’s premise is expressed in…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Sensational poster used to draw in viewers only works when the title doesn’t have such a lyrical purpose. If you’re going to have a film titled The Alphabet Killer, shouldn’t you have something…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: As posters go, this is among the worst design. Used presumably to highlight as many of the actors in the film as possible, it merely becomes a boring, self-deluded promotional tool with no…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: I’ll give it a few marks for inventiveness, but the colors are a bit tacky, but overall, it seems to suggest that music is a large part of the film, but the trailer…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The style makes this seem more like a comedy than a drama, which is probably adequate considering what’s presented in the trailer, though why the package is segmented the way it is is…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: You can see this creepy character barely in the trailer, but that’s about it and the trailer doesn’t say much about the significance of the people or the person on this poster, making…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Fairly pathetic in terms of humor posters. It may easily draw in Bruce Campbell fans, but that’s about it. Trailer Rating: D Review: What a boring, irritating trailer filled with arrogant, egotistical acting.…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Using images from a film is a fairly old concept in poster design and this one certainly doesn’t do anything new with it. Trailer Rating: B- Review: The film has earned amazing accolades,…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Lackluster, but fitting, the poster certainly embodies the spirit of the rather unusual theatrical performance featured in the film. Trailer Rating: C Review: Filming live play performances has been done for years, but…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: A- Review: What a marvellous, creative poster, blending jazz trumpet, old-style marquee signs and a faint image of the film. There is no question this film is about the blues. Trailer Rating: B Review: Not…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: The awful pink color blazened across the bottom of the screen is almost as distracting Sheetal Sheth’s rather scary looking facial expression. Trailer Rating: C+ Review: This looks nearly like a carbon copy…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Safely generic and unengaging, those expecting a romantic story between Hoffman and Thompson won’t be disappinted, but really there is nothing stellar or attractive about this design. Trailer Rating: C+ Review: There is…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: A rather undistinguished poster for such a promising project. Clint Eastwood’s image might pull people to the theater expecting a gun-toting Dirty Harry-style film and then they’ll be exceedingly disappointed if they haven’t…
