Film Preview: Daddy Day Camp (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D Review: One of the year’s least appealing posters is for a sequel that is supremely ill-conceived. Cuba Gooding Jr.’s mug doesn’t help matters in, making the film seem more like a retread than a…

Film Preview: August Rush (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B-; F Review: I like the concept, but the executions is hardly fitting. We get the warm sunset, but the moon does little to evoke the theme of the film and the music streaming from…

Film Preview: Fido (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: There’s not much to say about the poster. It’s overly simplistic and features a number of deliberately-tacked on critics’ reviews. You can’t easily tell the face is that of a zombie without watching…

The DVD Report #6
This week’s DVD releases run the gamut from the original Nancy Drew, personified by the delightful Bonita Granville, to Jack Benny in drag in a long lost treasure, to Chris Cooper at his nutty best. The new Nancy Drew seems to be marketed to nine- and ten-year-olds, the kind of film you plop a child…

Film Preview: Arctic Tale (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: As banal and lifeless as the trailer except without the irritating voice-over. This is the kind of poster that easily entices children in, highlighting the cuter protagonist in the front. However, I’ll give…

Film Preview: American Gangster (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B-; B- Review: Obviously designed to be put next to one another.

Film Preview: I Am Legend (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+; B+ Review: Shades of yellow and black again dominate a poster. The larger-than-necessary letters only highlight how little the poster has to say. So much more could have been done symbolically, instead the designer…

Film Preview: My Best Friend (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Despite a humorous preview, the poster is horribly outdated. The two friendship-developing characters walking out of the frame of a bit of the Parisian skyline isn’t terribly interesting and the supporting character looking…

Film Preview: Interview (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Cluttered and utterly disinteresting. This poster reminds me well of the trailer, but that’s not a good thing. The decision to showcase images from the film of the two leads in various states…

The DVD Report #5
This week’s DVD releases offer a little something for everyone, from vintage Eddie Murphy to the film that torpedoed his Oscar chances this year. From a boxed set of World War II films to a foiled film version of a beloved stage musical. Norbit, directed by Brian Robbins, was one of the most poorly reviewed…
