• Film Preview: Antarctica (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The title seems entirely out of place and two of my least favorite poster design elements are present (the festival laurels and the side-by-side film image panes, but the core image sufficiently explains…

  • Film Preview: House (2008)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: So, the pentagram features prominently in the trailer, but the poster really doesn’t do enough to explain why the film is called house. Granted, the pentagram will draw curious onlookers to its subject,…

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Void of common sense visuals or flashy subtext, a simple poster of Van Damme looking beaten and tired does not make for an enticing image except perhaps to his legions of fans, which…

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: It shows us the two leads. That’s it. Nothing special. It’s all there for you to see and it’s not terribly engaging. Trailer Rating: C+ Review: Quirky is probably the least unusual word…

    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 hardly appealing. While it does a sufficient job explaining the lead of the film, it lacks any visual panache that often accompanies horror films which is both an asset and…

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: The most disturbing aspect of the poster is for anyone who knows anything about bullfighting and that surrounds the sword the matador has pulled out of its sheath within the banner. Otherwise, the…

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Intentionally chaotic and semi-symbolic, the colors are to bland and the layout too exotic to draw much of an audience. It looks more like a piece you would hang in an art gallery…

It’s strength is entirely in its color and layout balance, not for any thematic connection. Trailer Rating: C+ Review: If…

The moribund color scheme is entirely fitting, matching the imagery on the poster.…
