Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: A little too frilly along the edges with all the vine-work embellishment, it at least evokes a sense of longing that the boy has for the pool, which could be considered the central…

Film Preview: Milk (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: There isn’t much to this poster. It’s basically an air-brushed scene from the film with Sean Penn smiling as the ill-fated politician. I don’t know if the milky white caste to the background…

Film Preview: The Amazing Truth About Queen Raquela (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: More symbolic than exceptional, the poster is an amazing situational experiment. Considering the subject of the film, using a men’s room urinal as a throne for Queen Raquela is an inspired choice, but…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Taking a scene from the film is a risky move even if it does adequately explain the film’s plot without much effort. However, this looks like a serious version of one of the…

Film Preview: Ghost Town (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: It’s a fitting poster, though not terribly exciting. It doesn’t do that rather annoying live action on animated background concept, and although the background does seem a bit filtered, it’s not distracting. Trailer…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Certainly an interesting visual gesture to the film’s pot…I mean plot.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Colorful for sure, but to entice an audience, this image won’t cut it. It might draw a few art majors, but it’s hardly worth noticing unless you know what the subject is. Trailer…
