The DVD Report #27
Back in September, I mentioned With a Song in My Heart and I’ll Cry Tomorrow as part of my report on movie musicals from 1927 through 1955. Both, starring Susan Hayward, are finally being released on DVD. I’ll Cry Tomorrow, the musical biography of Lillian Roth, releases today as part of Warner Bros’. Leading Ladies…

Film Preview: What Would Jesus Buy (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: Using the lettering made popular by the Disney corporation with its logo and turning the poster into a humorous display of elements from the documentary works. Along with the title of the documentary,…

Film Preview: There Will Be Blood (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C; D- Review: This poster is relatively inexpressive. Putting only star Daniel Day-Lewis’ picture on the poster denies the poster from taking on a symbolic and intriguing conveyance of the film’s difficult and complex themes.…

The DVD Report #26
It’s time to get caught up with new releases again. The 80th Anniversary Edition of The Jazz Singer is of more historical than entertainment value today. The film itself is a creaky tale of the Jewish cantor’s son who finds success beyond the synagogue to the disdain of his father. It is about 80% silent…

Film Preview: Mr. Untouchable (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: The biggest problem with the poster is the use of red. I can understand the use of a reversed negative image balancing the tagline, but the red merely makes it feel like so…

Film Preview: Terror’s Advocate (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: The poster is a moderately intersting one. The man who represented each of these “terorrists” in the courtroom is the subject of the documentary and this is moderately well conveyed in the poster.…

Film Preview: The Amateurs (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Very rudimentary comedy poster. It takes a very hammy approach to fit all the characters onto the poster and thematically link it to the film without any visual flare. Trailer Rating: C- Review:…

Film Preview: Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: The title mixed with orange jump suits does not an enticing poster make. The poster lacks any interesting or diversive elements and even the looks on the leads’ faces is campy and even…

Film Preview: Sharkwater (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: This poster seems more in line with a fiction film than a documentary. It’s nautical and interesting without being garish or irritating. Trailer Rating: B+ Review: Nature documentaries always bear a bit more…

Film Preview: After Dark Horrorfest: 2007 (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Sex sells and what’s more associated with horror than sex? Aliens, apparently? This poster may tie into one or two of the eight films, but I doubt it’s much more than a selling…

Film Preview: Mad Money (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Sometimes I wonder if production companies care how their films are marketed. Featuring Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes excitedly swiping and grabbing at money may capture the film’s themes, but the…

Film Preview: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: More split-screen posters, this one seems strangely similar in coloration and style to the one for Atonement. Bright colors surround the female of the story while darker colors highlight the male. Trailer Rating:…

Film Preview: Black Irish (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: The event photo theme has been done to death and the depressed visage that dominates the poster won’t easily entice people into the film and there’s only one, partially-hidden image that belies the…
