Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: There’s nothing very interesting about this poster. They deftly avoid any semblance of controversy by visually eliminating any reference to a threesome or same-sex relations. The background, while not meant to be a…

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 unexceptional. While choosing a tint of pink, the poster tries to make the film seem softer while putting a gun in full view of the viewer. It’s also painfully…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: For a documentary, the poster’s decidedly better than average. As a poster, it’s hardly remarkable. The title, when placed with the film’s subject is easily understood, a more firm understanding of the trailer…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: Capturing the horror of the zombies on a cracked video camera may seem a bit obvious, but it works quite well in the context of the film. Everything is nicely laid out so…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B; C- Review: A throwback to the posters for the original films, the full shot of Indy standing in front of, surprise, a Crystal Skull was utterly predictable and hardly noteworthy. The first poster harkened…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Although the trailer is hardly worth noting, the poster is at least a little more stylistically interesting. The color yellow has become a dominant one this year, starting late in 2007. It’s not…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: The is interesting, but hollow. It shows us a snippet of the creature featured in the film and the wide-eyed wonder of the two leads. However, there’s something cheesey and hammy in the…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D- Review: I’ve seen a very small version of the real poster elsewhere and this isn’t it. This is a rudimentary placeholder that tries to take the “genre” in a new direction…one that has already…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Simple doesn’t begin to describe this atar-on-a-bike, generic title font wall hanging. It isn’t even remotely expressive, which is dangerous when a poster is sometimes a film’s only marketing tool, especially for a…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B-; F Review: The reflective nature of the poster is quite fitting when compared with the film’s plot, which is better revealed in the second trailer. The poster isn’t as flashy as it could have…

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 obvious, the poster features the diamond, the hallway and the two stars from the preview. It’s in no way exceptional in design or execution. Trailer Rating: C Review: It’s not…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+; D+ Review: A real poster putting Keira Knightley full front. It’s worth a try, but the period costumes aren’t likely to pull in the audience that would see Knightley in bigger budget fare. Case…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: The famed red-black-and-white I complained about last year. You truly can never get away from these colors. What the symbol has to do with the film would require a full viewing, but it’s…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: You’ve got the car. You’ve got the stars. Now, all you need is a great way to put them together. That much doesn’t not succeed. Trailer Rating: C+ Review: With such talent, you…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: The obsession with animated backgrounds with live action foregrounds is mystifying. Here’s yet another example of how the formula doesn’t work and how it doesn’t provide the kind of engrossment most posters would…
