Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C-; D- Review: Airbrushed to the hilt, this poster is as appealing as a road accident. Sure, it features people we’re curious to get a look at, but there’s really nothing aethestically pleasing that should…

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 really zen about this poster. It’s rather weak and lacking in presentation. It also hides the fact that the film is a documentary about zen cooking, which only serves to confuse…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: There’s a little bit of cool and chic in this poster. The mirrored words of Youth and “Francis Ford Coppola” give it a surreal quality and with all of the roses blending with…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: As we get into Oscar season, the posters are going to start looking a lot like the advertising and this is certainly no exception. Highlighting the stars of the film with a scene…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: The split-screen poster has become rather cliche and despite an impressive trailer, there’s little impressive about the poster. Here we have the beauty of nature accompanying the image of Keira Knightley and the…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+; C+ Review: The posters are meant to be paired and although they share the same “golden” hue to match the film’s story, there’s little of intrinsic value. Both actors do their best giving character-centered…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: Yellow and black are the new Black, White and Red. This poster makes the film seem like an upper crust version of The Squid and the Whale. Trailer Rating: C- Review: Everything about…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B; C+ Review: This poster definitely tells us all we probably need to know about this horror film set in a subway. The poster is certainly tantalizing for any horror fans. We’ll have to see…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: I’m surprised with the focus on bumpkins in the trailer that the poster would be a feel a bit more rural. Instead, they go for a paired character shot against a faux city…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Props to the advertisers for realizing the star of this film is the hatchet itself and not the wilder. While we could have expected more along those lines, I’m doubtful anything more than…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: The poster reminds me of the seventies a great deal. With its limited color range and patchwork unevenness, this poster is at once unusual and commonplace. It displays some of the actors, but…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The golden tones help suggest the “promise” of the legendary holy city of Jerusalem. The city within the “O” would have been slightly more effective had it not then been duplicated in the…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: They choose the dorkiest image of Ben Gourley from the film in hopes of securing the Superbad audience. However, the nauseating shade of puce they chose does little more than assault the mind.…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: Actions shots for a sports film? What are the odds? While it’s stylistically indistinguishable from many others, the colors are crisp and the layout is visually appealing. Trailer Rating: B- Review: Sports films…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Warm colors for a story of love. How novel? Despite the lack of originality, the poster isn’t as obnoxious or distracting as many others that have used similar tones this year. Trailer Rating:…
