Film Preview: In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: While not your standard scene-pane poster, this one does try some different approaches including color balance, image selections and lettering. However, it still looks too much like its kin, which negates much that…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Looking at this poster, I would almost forget how disinteresting the trailer is.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: Cluttered and bland, this poster does one thing well: it is entirely appropriate to the theme of the film. There’s a chaoticness to the trailer that is reflected in the poster. Trailer Rating:…

Film Preview: The Longshots (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Keke Palmer’s smile alone gives this poster some class. It’s sly and devious, but loving at the same time. The rest of the poster is dull in a way that I can’t effectively…

Film Preview: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B-; B-; B Review: While there is an inventive flair to having Pitt’s poster read backwards like the direction his chracter ages, this pair of bookend posters is rather lackluster and lacking in detail, which…

Film Preview: My Best Friend’s Girl (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: That same smug smile is seemingly featured in every one of Dane Cook’s film. Kte Hudson at least looks natural, but Jason Biggs’ expression is horribly forced. Trailer Rating: C Review: Poor Kate…

Film Preview: Holding Trevor (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: The colors are soft, but not truly inviting.

Film Preview: Elegy (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D Review: There are very few words to describe the blandness of this poster.

Film Preview: Garden Party (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: As inexplicable as the title, the poster isn’t very engaging and doesn’t seem to fit. The trailer shows the swimming pool a few times, but it remains unclear as to its true relation…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: I’m not usually a fan of blending in detailed information, such as newspapers, into the fabric of the poster, but this version works. The color scheme is perfect and it’s engrossing to look…
