Film Preview: Lake City (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 of the poster blend well and the symbolism of the darkened, storm-laden sky is quite accessible. However, Troy Garity and Sissy Spacek’s placement and positioning feel entirely out of place. Trailer…

Film Preview: The Lodger (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Why the makers chose to use such a Black Dahlia-like image for the bottom of the poster is about as inexplicable as the choice to highlight four of the film’s actors with head…

Film Preview: How About You? (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Dreadful use of split bars with film images separated by poster color, this poster is about as generic as many of the film’s plot elements from the trailer. Trailer Rating: B- Review: It…

Film Preview: Let Them Chirp Awhile (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Fits the title perfectly, but as far as the trailer goes, the title doesn’t fit the movie. The colors are a bit harsh and don’t blend very well and it takes too long…

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 and the title of the film, you might expect this to be an homage to blaxploitation pics, but appearances can be deceiving. Trailer Rating: D- Review: This trailer is…

The DVD Report #81
Who would have thought two guys drunkenly singing an old Barry Manilow song would provide the emotional high of a state-of-the-art superhero movie in 2008? Probably no one other than Guillermo del Toro who does just that with Hellboy II: The Golden Army, the sequel to his 2004 Hellboy . Sequels rarely live up to…

Film Preview: The Betrayal (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Other than the muted colors in a tintype-style photo, the poster has very little artistic value. It seems to exist in spite of istelf and will do very little to pull in an…

Film Preview: The Beautiful Truth (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: What is this Beautiful Truth the poster talks about? Apparently, it’s the apple. But that’s all you can really get from this poster, though the globalization of the apple is a bit tired…

Film Preview: Battle for Haditha (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: The many faces of war are cobbled together in a fairly common poster design used for far too many films. Trailer Rating: B- Review: While another new trailer this week, The Betrayal, is…

Film Preview: Fuel (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: If it’s a documentary about some global issue, there must be a planet somehow inflicted on the poster. The first few examples this year were clever, but they have become progressively weaker and…

Film Preview: Nobel Son (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Posters have gotten to a point of chaos that becomes quite annoying. While this one isn’t that bad, it does border on unnecessary since very little of the film’s premise is expressed in…

Film Preview: Cadillac Records (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: As posters go, this is among the worst design. Used presumably to highlight as many of the actors in the film as possible, it merely becomes a boring, self-deluded promotional tool with no…

Film Preview: The Alphabet Killer (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Sensational poster used to draw in viewers only works when the title doesn’t have such a lyrical purpose. If you’re going to have a film titled The Alphabet Killer, shouldn’t you have something…

The DVD Report #79
Happy Election Day! Today is, of course, a historic one in which practically everyone will be glued to their TV sets, radios and/or internet sources for the results of many key races including the Presidency. There have been years, however, when Election Day news has either been slow in coming or downright dull and boring…
