  • Film Preview: Finishing the Game (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The brightness of the yellow doesn’t have a thematic association with the production. The various individuals on the poster in “kung fu” positions is more closely aligned and the faint image of Bruce…

  • Film Preview: Mama’s Boy (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. Should one become available in the future, this section will be updated. Trailer Rating: D+ Review: Nearly everything about this trailer is offensive to…

  • Film Preview: Protagonist (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: I think perhaps the modern trend of one-color posters with hand-drawn (possibly computer drawn) images may have gne overboard. This style is most present in documentary posters which have included those for King…

  • Film Preview: Lake of Fire (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Further typifing the film’s struggle to pick sides, the Lake of Fire title, being inverted (and in the preview inverted across an image of the cross) may be symbolic of where the piece…

  • Film Preview: Juno (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C-; C Review: This poster tries too hard to be funny when the film looks more like a dark comedy. The light comedy design of the poster may entice the wrong crowd who will come…

  • Film Preview: Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: The poster makes this film look like more like Oh, God than a drama. There are no comic touches to the trailer, which does not mean there won’t be in the film itself.…

  • Film Preview: Pathology (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: B- Review: Although it looks a bit like a horror-thriller,…

  • Film Preview: Control (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: I’m entirely uncertain as to the meaning of the color pink attached to the poster unless it’s exemplary of the punk era (a style of music I’m limited familiar with). The black-and-white-and-brooding of…

  • Film Preview: The Final Season (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Can this poster look any more like a Walt Disney film? It’s reminiscent of every hackneyed sports melodrama to have a poster drawn up for it. Trailer Rating: C- Review: With Sean Astin…

  • Film Preview: P.S. I Love You (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: It’s a strong statement about how to use sex to sell a film. Although the poster hardly gives much of an impression of the film’s subject, the sexy poses and ultra-glossy presentation make…

  • Film Preview: King Corn (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Instead of mixing live-action and animation, this poster gets it nearly write. While being unbearably yellow, the poster tells us all about the documentary without overwhelming us with details. The green on yellow,…

  • Film Preview: The Strangers (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Oooh. Liv Tyler crawling bloodily across a floor while surrounded by a urine-colored yellow. It’s the opposite end of unappealing and is only a small step above the placeholder posters I generally find…

  • Film Preview: Southland Tales (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: If the trailer or any other material could show us what the flag of this pseudo-futuristic story looked like, then the poster might be a bit more evocative. It does look somewhat like…

  • Film Preview: One Missed Call (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: How this poster has much to do with the film, I don’t know. The trailer goes to great lengths to keep the film’s secret but this poster suggests some bizarre Pan’s Labyrinth creation…

  • Film Preview: Iron Man (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: Like the trailer, this poster is rather lifeless. It’s a reduction to a suit, which certainly fits the theme of the character, but it’s not very evocative and not very much…
