Film Preview: Closing Escrow (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: There is no style or quality to this poster. It feels like every bit of it was an after thought, for if it were planned, I don’t know how the creators could have…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: There aren’t many cheeses that are that shade of orange, but the poster uses it anyway to dominate the man’s head at the bottom holding a boquet a bit too high for any…

Film Preview: Reservation Road (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: My only Reservation about the poster is how Jennifer Connelly got face time and Mira Sorvino got none. Neither seems to play a central role in the film dominated by Joaquin Phoenix and…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Really? This is the best they could come up with?

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Using Cate Blanchett’s Dylan head to showcase the stars is unusual since she apparently has such a short part in the film. However, the silhouette is at least such that it can be…

The DVD Report #16
I began going to the movies in earnest fifty years ago, the summer I was 13. Many of the films I saw in theatres in 1957, as well as many of that year’s films I’ve since caught up with, are currently available on DVD. The year’s big awards winner, and still deserving of all its…

Film Preview: Silk (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: A- Review: Although I don’t get the way the title is displayed, the poster is nothing if not evocative. The Japanese girl that hides in his heart and mind looks demure as he holds his…

Film Preview: Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D; C- Review: Nothing spectacular. It’s just another placeholder that just happens to use a thematically appropriate font. The poster is a bit deceptive. It uses the type of pose that was typical of Jimi…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: The preview shows us little to nothing about this bracelet Ryan Reynolds is trying to remove in the poster, but it’s definitely intriguing. The color and layout flows together and while the movie…
