Film Preview: Falling for Grace (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Way too simple. Way too bright. This poster has no drawing focus. Even the crossed fingers, implying a lie, fails to spark the imagination, nor does the vivid red dress. Trailer Rating: B…

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. Should one become available in the future, this section will be updated. Trailer Rating: B Review: There’s a formula hidden beneath this film that…

Film Preview: Four Minutes (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: In context with the trailer, this poster has a number of meanings, but as a stand alone product, it’s difficult to understand. All you can get is it’s a woman in handcuffs tinkling…

Film Preview: Brick Lane (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: The poster is rather cluttered and may be a good read for a bored theatergoer, it’s not likely to pull in viewers alone. And amongst all those words, are the death knells for…

Film Preview: American Teen (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: In a reverse of this week’s other partly-drawn background, this one puts the artwork in the back and the reality in the front. It doesn’t try to mask itself, which is fine and…

Film Preview: Blindness (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The poster is so much more engaging than the trailer. Unlike the rather expectable Smart People tile idea, this one seems a bit more original placing the title into the commonly experienced eye…

Film Preview: Elsa & Fred (2008)
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 bit too comic in style for the film I saw in the trailer. While there are comedic elements, this poster suggests it is to be more like a John Candy film…

Film Preview: Jack and Jill vs. the World (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: It’s not exceptionally colorful, but the poster does use a shade of blue that is pleasing while not overbearing. However, the rest of the poster more than makes up for that one positive…

Film Preview: Bangkok Dangerous (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D Review: If there’s a mug I want to see less of on posters, it’s Nic Cage. That it takes up most of the space on this blue-tinted poster is all the more reason to…

Film Preview: Bra Boys (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: The black-and-white aspect is the most appealing. Simply having the key interview subject on the poster stripped to the waste so you can see his tattoos is deceptive. The crashing surf in the…

Film Preview: Anamorph (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: The image is too dark, it makes it very difficult for the eyes to process. It appears to be Willem Dafoe’s face with a drop of blood forming the “o” in the title,…

Film Preview: Pineapple Express (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Attempting to look like some ’80s action film, the poster merely accentuates the disorientingly unfunny trailer. There’s nothing original or expressive in this poster. Trailer Rating: D+ Review: It appears Seth Rogen’s cachet…
-
Film Preview: Meet Bill (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: The banality of Aaron Eckhart’s appearance blending in with the background is certainly clever and modestly fitting, but the pictures on the wall of his female co-stars is hardly original and is mostly…
-
Film Preview: Deception (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: This “fractured” design has been used to death. The black background with faces popping out of it has been overused as well and there’s very little of interest in this poster, though it…

Film Preview: Meet Dave (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Thoroughly unimaginative, this poster is hardly anything to look at. A two-year-old fingerpainter (paints every medium with every type of “paint”) could have probably come up with this poster’s concept. Trailer Rating: C-…
