  • Film Preview: Ballet Shoes (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Nauseatingly dear, the poster is perfectly suited to the young teenage girl market, but there’s little in it that truly screams quality of achievement. Trailer Rating: C+ Review: Emma Watson needs jobs outside…

  • Film Preview: Appaloosa (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: A- Review: It isn’t quite the best poster of the year, but it’s certainly one of the most stylish. Putting a woman between the two leads is a strong statement on her position in their…

  • Film Preview: Babylon A.D. (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Stylizing the New York City of the future is a nice touch and is the story, but having the image off-kilter to explain the film’s tones and putting a hooded figure in the…

  • Film Preview: Little Red Truck (2008)

Trailer Rating: B- Review: It might be interesting to watch trained thespians put on stage shows using…

  • Film Preview: Fireproof (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: The point of the redundant imagery is lost. While the title featuring wedding rings in place of the O’s is the only thing of merit on the one-sheet. Trailer Rating: C- Review: Kirk…

  • Film Preview: Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Rudimentary at best, the poster does very little to sell the picture to anyone who isn’t already familiar with Michael Cera, but his name alone isn’t likely to sell the flick. Trailer Rating:…

  • Film Preview: The Order of Myths (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Not terribly impressive nor involving. It’s overly simplified and feels out of place with regard to a film about Mardi Gras. Trailer Rating: C Review: I can’t figure out what the film is…

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: – Review: There was no poster immediately available for my review.

  • Film Preview: Patti Smith – Dream of Life (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Bland and unoriginal. Simplistic and inelegant. Trailer Rating: B- Review: While I’m sure Patti Smith has had a fascinating life as a pioneering female rock legend, the trailer itself doesn’t look terribly exciting.…

  • Film Preview: I.O.U.S.A. (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Symbolic testimony of a country in crisis, the poster, while sensational to say the least, certainly captures the heart and spirit of the documentary. Trailer Rating: B+ Review: This isn’t your typical educational…

  • Film Preview: Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Obviously taking its cue from Army of Darkness, this poster is crude and cheesey, which is entirely fitting within the framework of the film’s plot. Trailer Rating: C+ Review: Robert Englund hamming it…

  • Film Preview: Beer for My Horses (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: At least the poster effectively uses color and symmetery, but that’s as far as it goes with a rather uninteresting group of characters and lame tagline. Trailer Rating: D- Review: This might appeal…

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: – Review: There was no poster immediately available for my review.

  • Film Preview: Body of Lies (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: This poster is so dark and minorly detailed that without the names at the top, you might not even know who is featured on the poster. The concept escapes me on this one…

  • Film Preview: Everybody Wants to Be Italian (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B-; C Review: Two posters to open is quite rare.
