Rating:B- Commentary: The concept is somewhat original, but the trailer meanders a good deal and floods the audience with too many visual elements to keep track of or attract them.
Rating:C- Commentary: Despite the higher production values of the trailer, this poster looks like some strange direct-to-video flop with limited quality. It could confuse the film’s potential audience.
Plot Summary: A skeptical Catholic priest is brought into the world of exorcism to discover there’s more truth there than he ever expected. Release Date:January 28, 2010

Rating:C- Commentary: I need a young priest and an old priest. There’s a point where, if you’ve seen one exorcism movie, you’ve seen them all. This cliché-ridden, early 2010 horror flick falls back on the popular demonic possessions storyline hoping to convince audiences that it’s something they haven’t seen before, when it really isn’t.
Rating: None Commentary: I don’t review placeholders.
Plot Summary: After his wife is put in prison for murder, a desperate husband decides to break her out so he and his family can live in peace. Release Date:November 19, 2010
Rating:B- Commentary: If they keep this “image inside Russell Crowe’s profile” schtick going much longer, people will start to believe that the movie plays out in Crowe’s characters’ mind. While that wouldn’t be an obscene concept, I don’t think it’s what they are going for. I still like the designs, though this most recent isn’t as good as the prior two.
