Film Preview: Lucky You (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: The poster has little bearing on the film showing a hidden hand for Texas Hold ‘Em and the two stars.

Film Preview: Dead Silence (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: We definitely get a sense of what the film’s about with this poster, showing us the ventriloquist’s dummy with a silencing index finger that looks like it’s spent a few years underground; However,…

Film Preview: Pathfinder (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 previewwas abjectly terrible, the poster has a strong design.

Film Preview: Avenue Montaigne (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 doesn’t shout "watch me".

Film Preview: The Lookout (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: This poster too closely resembles that of Alpha Dog and doesn’t do very that’s impressive.

Film Preview: The Astronaut Farmer (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 is as ludicrous as the film’s concept. Although Billy Bob Thornton does ride a horse in astronaut garb in the film, the use of it on the poster makes it seem…
