  • Film Preview: Steep (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: A big mountain and skiiers. It certainly evokes the film’s themes but is just as unappealing as the trailer itself. Trailer Rating: C+ Review: Big mountain skiing is a dangerous pastime, but the…

  • Film Preview: Cassandra’s Dream (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: This is a cool and slick poster that relies too much on the colors I find so irritating in recent poster design, but feels fresh and inventive all the same. It’s diagonally-rotated style…

  • Film Preview: Redacted (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: Using the blacked out text in a governmental report to allow the image of a child bleed through from the background is a clever ploy. The colors, however, don’t work well together and…

  • Film Preview: Saawariya (2007)

    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: City of Men (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: Since the film is from the producers and director of City of God and the film is portrayed as a pseudo-sequel, it’s not unsurprising that the poster carries the coloration and style of…

  • Film Preview: Look (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The camera poised over a couple kissing is well paired with a series of floating cam images behind. It’s not outstanding, but it’s definitely fitting for the film. Trailer Rating: B- Review: This…

  • Film Preview: Funny Games (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Simplicity is often more effective than complexity. In this, we have Naomi Watts crying. It should be enough to bring in any audiences who want to see that. Joking aside, it is completely…

  • Film Preview: Revolver (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: While this four-tiered poster ignores the current trend in color schemes and uses those that wouldn’t normally be found together, the thing remains a prototypical genre flick in design. Trailer Rating: B- Review:…

  • Film Preview: The Great Debaters (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The dijon yellow is different enough in color to many of the other yellow-centric posters we’ve had this year. Denzel Washington in black and white along with the coloring make this fit more…

  • Film Preview: War/Dance (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Simple, yet expressive. The poster delivers information about the film without being overbearing. Trailer Rating: B Review: There’s a concept here that is very appealing. Although there’s some heavy political tone to the…

  • Film Preview: I’ll Believe You (2007)

    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: What Would Jesus Buy (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: Using the lettering made popular by the Disney corporation with its logo and turning the poster into a humorous display of elements from the documentary works. Along with the title of the documentary,…

  • Film Preview: There Will Be Blood (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C; D- Review: This poster is relatively inexpressive. Putting only star Daniel Day-Lewis’ picture on the poster denies the poster from taking on a symbolic and intriguing conveyance of the film’s difficult and complex themes.…

  • Film Preview: Mr. Untouchable (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: The biggest problem with the poster is the use of red. I can understand the use of a reversed negative image balancing the tagline, but the red merely makes it feel like so…

  • Film Preview: Terror’s Advocate (2007)

    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 a moderately intersting one. The man who represented each of these “terorrists” in the courtroom is the subject of the documentary and this is moderately well conveyed in the poster.…
