The DVD Report #57
With all the major movies from last year having been released on DVD, it’s time to catch up on the “little” films you may have missed, or lose yourself in the thrall of a beloved classic. The most ambitious film to be made from a Stephen King work in some years, Frank Darabont’s Stephen King’s…

Film Preview: Nights in Rodanthe (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: This poster makes Richard Gere look a lot older than he really is, which doesn’t make for a pleasing connection with the audience looking for a romance. Yes, his and Diane Lane’s postures…

Film Preview: Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: The strangeness and flair of the poster is definitely notable, but that overbearing black-white-and-red motif still annoys. Trailer Rating: C+ Review: I’ve never been interested in the work of Hunter S. Thompson. He’s…

The DVD Report #56
We’ve previously taken a look back at the films of 1957 and 1958. This week, I’d like to take another stroll down memory lane and look at the films of 1959 starting with that year’s ten best, all of which are available on DVD. The year’s best film, certainly the most fun, was Billy Wilder’s…

Film Preview: The Last Mistress (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: The close-up is a bit too extreme and it seems decidedly tame for a film about a marriage of convenience and a mistress with the power to hold the lead enraptured. It also…

Film Preview: The Edge of Heaven (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: How the poster plays into the film thematically, is anyone’s guess. It doesn’t make a lot of sense based on the presently-available trailer. From this alone, it looks more like a film about…

Film Preview: Eagle Eye (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Taking a slightly new approach to the title-bisected frame, this poster doesn’t improve on the formula much. It’s nice to see this kind of detail, but the detail isn’t terribly exceptional thematically or…

Film Preview: August (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Hoping to capitalize on Josh Hartnett’s stature as a stud to female audiences, this poster oversimplifies itself and will do nothing to excite his fan base. Trailer Rating: D+ Review: What this film’s…

Film Preview: The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Garish and brash, this poster will pull no additional viewers to the film as it already had the name recognition. It’s also too similar to past incarnations and the red is overwhelming and…

Film Preview: The Go-Getter (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Obviously attempting to capture the viewers that made Into the Wild a success, this poster is almost a carbon copy. Sure the lead is standing on and not sitting on the vehicle and…

Film Preview: City of Ember (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Reminding me some of the overly simplistic title for The Last Mimzy, there’s a bit more detail and concept behind it, but it remains little more than a second rate kids movie poster.…

The DVD Report #55
Though genuine masterpieces from The Grapes of Wrath to Annie Hall to The Silence of the Lambs have been released in the month of January, Hollywood wisdom holds that this is the time to release films with low expectations while audiences are still catching up on the big year-end films. They are generally at best…

Film Preview: Miss Conception (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: I get it. The date planner, the two potential conquests, the best friend. I understand it all. I just don’t like it. The over abundance of pink is nauseating and why they had…
