  • Film Preview: Get Smart (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C; F Review: It’s only moderately funny in that Agent 99 always showed up Maxwell Smart in the television series, but that’s as far as it goes. It is overly simplified and not as laugh-out-loud…

  • Film Preview: Margot at the Wedding (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: The severe lack of color only hurts this poster. The pink of Nicole Kidman’s hat duplicated in the title is a good touch to assign her character that name, but it’s hard to…

  • Film Preview: Elizabeth: The Golden Age (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: A- Review: I’m one of an increasingly-narrow group of critics…

  • Film Preview: The 11th Hour (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: You have to give credit to the producers for picking such an evocative image. A human boot print on the planet earth. There isn’t much else to the poster, but this image is…

  • Film Preview: Lady Chatterley (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Considering the subject matter, this is probably the most tantalizing, yet uncompromising posters they could cobble together. Thankfully the designers chose lush greens and yellows to highlight the poster instead of the typical…

  • Film Preview: Dynamite Warrior (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Other than titularly, there’s nothing that suggests this film is about any kind of dynamite. Sure the orange and yellow blasts spaced about the poster may give that impression, but that’s not terribly…

  • Film Preview: The Wendell Baker Story (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: As uninventive as the poster is (what exactly does the car really have to do with the plot?), it’s not surprising that the trailer is a bit lacking in the humor department. The…

  • Film Preview: In the Valley of Elah (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 only reinforces the patriotic claptrap that the film’s trailer promises. If the film isn’t overtly and unnecessarily patriotic then the poster gives the complete opposite message. Otherwise, it’s the perfect fit.…

  • Film Preview: Feast of Love (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C; F Review: The typical romantic poster featuring strips of film images of the various coupls of the film. There’s nothing original or interesting in this poster, though it is a bit crisper than other…

  • Film Preview: Cloverfield (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The poste rmakes the film look far too much like a summer blockbuster. Maybe that’s their intention, but it’s rather irritating. Though, it is nice to see the poster following directly after the…

  • Film Preview: In the Shadow of the Moon (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: The colors and image positioning on the poster for In the Shadow of the Moon are pleasing. The poster isn’t so cluttered as to be distracting, but isn’t so bear as to be…

  • Film Preview: Death Sentence (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Black. White. Red. Can I be any more sick of these color combinations? The poster does very little to offset my disatisfaction with the color. Kevin Bacon’s image is far too small in…

  • Film Preview: December Boys (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Whether intentional or not, the poster looks like the cover of a magazing from the 1950s. The magazine Boys Life may be what the creators were going for, but if so, it wasn’t…

  • Film Preview: Lions for Lambs (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Black, white and red. We all know by now how I feel about the overabundant use of these colors in posters of late. Here they serve absolutely no purpose. On top of all…

  • Film Preview: Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: Strangely, the clutter only accentuates the film’s childlike nature. It doesn’t use the traditional bright colors to bring the audience into its fold, settling for cooler colors that make the design seem all…
