  • Film Preview: Mongol (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: This somewhat simplistic cross between The Lord of the Rings and Pathfinder, seems at odds with the typical foreign lingo poster. It looks every bit the epic that could entice non-foreign fans. Trailer…

  • Film Preview: Fugitive Pieces (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: This poster establishes a traditional blend of cast head shots arrayed in a dominance arrangement featuring varying sizes of mugs. However, the overall layout and color scheme make this one of the year’s…

  • Film Preview: The Fall (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: It fits nearly perfectly with the film’s visual style, but it is relatively inexpressive. Visual style must be accompanied by substance and, although I’ve seen the trailer, I don’t see much of the…

  • Film Preview: Mister Lonely (2008)

    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 inexpressive, this poster is hardly engaging and doesn’t encourage anyone to check out the film. Matter of fact, the festival banner at the top may just turn the average viewer…

  • Film Preview: Mister Foe (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: (no review ever written) Trailer Rating: C+ Review: I can’t make heads or tails of this story. It seems like it’s trying for an indie-art niche that is overly populated while attempting to…

  • Film Preview: Chapter 27 (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 a bit disconcerting, but then again, so was the man depicted. While it’s important to make the film about Mark David Chapman, making his mug the only prominent part of…

  • Film Preview: The Incredible Hulk (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: More impressive than the trailer itself, this poster is evocative, symbolic and pleasing to the eye. Placing a subdued Ed Norton in front of a beefed up version of himself as the Hulk…

  • Film Preview: My Brother Is an Only Child (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Simple and colorful, this poster is visually pleasing without being overbearing. It may not encourage patrons to visit the film, but it’s at least not distracting or offensive. Trailer Rating: B+ Review: There’s…

  • Film Preview: My Blueberry Nights (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: The blue/purple flare in the poster is befitting the title, but the visual dazzle is only minimally successful. Featuring only the female members of the cast might encourage the male demographic to the…

  • Film Preview: American Zombie (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: Unlike the trailer, the poster is definitely inspired. The air-punching fist of a zombie compares itself nicely with a trailer that starts off at a war protest. It’s the kind of image we…

  • Film Preview: The Flight of the Red Balloon (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 quite a bit cluttered. While it’s important to set the film in Paris, the window view is hardly an eye-catching vantage point. The titular balloon is too aggresively placed and,…

  • Film Preview: The Love Guru (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C; C+; C Review: The makeup does a good job of masking Mike Myers’ features and the perpetual smile seems a bit too Hallmark, but there’s no denying that this poster’s softer colors and Myers…

  • Film Preview: Meat Loaf: In Search of Paradise (2008)

    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: C- Review: There aren’t that many people I know who…

  • Film Preview: The Happening (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: A bunch of cars left abandoned on the road. Since we didn’t see any such thing in the trailer, it would look to be highlighting a different aspect of the film. However, it’s…
