    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B-; B- Review: This poster is every bit the tease its makers want. By putting Aslan as one of the main characters (despite being relatively minor character outside of The Lion, the Witch and the…

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: Stylistically familiar to those who have looked at old 80s horror posters, the pseudo-life-like graphics help make the surreal nature of the subject pop and also confirms for the viewer that they aren’t…

    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 gimmick that partially works. Although the film takes on a supernatural subject, the symbolism of a hand reaching out of an eye is not particularly engaging when the symbolism doesn’t work.…

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Instantly forgettable, much like the trailer, this poster has no visual distinctiveness and no panache. It’s the poster equivalent of wet, pasty cardboard. Trailer Rating: C Review: If you have never heard of…

  • The DVD Report #23

    Last week, I briefly mentioned the 50th Anniversary Edition of Funny Face, which I’ve now seen. Restored from the original negative, the film looks stunning. One of the most gorgeous films ever made, previous home video editions have been so washed out and ugly anyone discovering the film for the first time on VHS or…

  • Film Preview: Jimmy Carter: Man from Plains (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 certainly patriotic and undeniably a part of an artistic style popular during Carter’s presidency. However, the poster doesn’t give the audience more than a cursory idea what the film’s about,…

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: After watching the trailer, the poster feels more apropos than it might otherwise be. The chaos of the streams of consciousness flowing from Anthony Hopkins’ head are fitting, though the colors are a…

The various individuals on the poster in “kung fu” positions is more closely aligned and the faint image of Bruce…

  • The DVD Report #22

    Gross-out comedies don’t win Oscars but they do have a rich tradition in film…that is to say they make lots of money. Starting with National Lampoon’s Animal House in 1978, the genre basically was about, and generally appealed to, adolescent boys and grown men in arrested adolescence. In the 1980s, films in the genre included…

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: I think perhaps the modern trend of one-color posters with hand-drawn (possibly computer drawn) images may have gne overboard. This style is most present in documentary posters which have included those for King…
