Film Preview: Brooklyn Rules (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: What a cluttered mess of a poster. Featuring several scenes from New York City as well as four actors, film title, tagline, star names and laundry list of crew. It’s as if the…

Film Preview: Transformers (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B; B-; B-; B Review: What child of the last 30 years isn’t familiar with The Transformers. The name sells the film, but those not familiar may be intrigued by the poster. I’ll discuss both…

Film Preview: Bratz (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B-; C+ Review: The top poster does a little more to highlight the distinct differences in personality of the characters but still does little else but give teenage girls heart palpitations over finally getting to…

Film Preview: Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D- Review: A place-holding poster like many others. This one does very little to give us an idea of the film’s subject. It will likely be replaced closer to the release date or afterwards with…

Film Preview: The Boss of It All (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: This style of lettering, color and design seems to be popular with more artistic films this year. While it wouldn’t serve to bring in a wide audience, it does do its best to…

Film Preview: Hostel: Part II (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D; C Review: I can’t seem to figure out what this poster is supposed to depict, but knowing the first film, I’m not sure I really want to know. However, this one will easily turn…

Film Preview: Mr. Woodcock (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Broad comedy is what the poster suggests, though it’s rather rudimentary and pathetically juvenile at the same time. The basketballs just grate on my nerves and the rather ludicrous poses of the actors…

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: Once (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Although the poster has elements that are derived from many other posters, the unique and interesting element here is the path upon which the actors walk. Using the neck of the guitar as…

Film Preview: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+; B; B- Review: Simple and doesn’t reveal too much. If the word “Rise” weren’t in the upper left hand corner, this might be a more impressive poster. Using the same image from a different…

Film Preview: A Mighty Heart (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 poster weren’t so severe in its coloring, it might be a more interesting piece. There is a simplicity I often lament is missing from poster art but this one almsot takes…

Film Preview: Crazy Love (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: While the poster fits entirely with the film’s premise, there’s something unwieldy about it. It uses the black-and-white and red colors to make a stark contrast, but it’s been done to much better…
-
Film Preview: Day Night Day Night (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: More over-abundant use of red in a poster. There’s no reason to use such a color for this except as a reference to blood being spilled. Unfortunately, the poster doesn’t even suggest that.…

Film Preview: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B-; B+ Review: This isn’t the best poster I’ve seen for the film. Although Lord Voldemort plays a huge role in the direction of the film, his inclusion on the poster merely wielding an energizing…

Film Preview: Paris, Je T’aime (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Since the entire film is designed as an art film, there’s no reason why the poster shouldn’t be given the same treatment. The use of color and design is fitting and the radial…
