Film Preview: Hank & Mike (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: While it entirely embodies the film’s story, it is neither interesting or involving.

Film Preview: The Pleasure of Being Robbed (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Intentionally chaotic and semi-symbolic, the colors are to bland and the layout too exotic to draw much of an audience. It looks more like a piece you would hang in an art gallery…

Film Preview: August Evening (2008)
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 pretty, green landscape with a small, scenic connection to the film. It’s strength is entirely in its color and layout balance, not for any thematic connection. Trailer Rating: C+ Review: If…

Film Preview: Just Buried (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: After a long stretch of very minimal black-white-and-red exposure, this poster brings it back and not in a bad way. The moribund color scheme is entirely fitting, matching the imagery on the poster.…

Film Preview: Bedtime Stories (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: A very inventive poster that gives rich detail to a potentially pedestrian kids’ fantasy. The graphics are interesting to look at and should do a sufficient job drawing the target audience to the…

Film Preview: Breakfast with Scot (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Despite the child’s flare for the theatrical mentioned in the trailer, there isn’t a lick of outlandishness in the poster. Contrasting the more straight-up fathers with the outlandish child could have been accomplished…

Film Preview: I’ve Loved You So Long (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Without knowing more of the plot, the poster has very little symbolic connection. It’s an interesting design suggesting a poster folded up as one would a note that is shoved into a pocket,…

Film Preview: The Flyboys (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: The motion trail symbolizing flight is at odds with the scenes in the film, suggesting the poster is merely an attempt to make the film feel more like a high-flying adventure than a…

Film Preview: Call + Response (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: While the slight image of a band playing adds some weight to the poster, the strips of slate/metal-gray pieces of paper across the poster is strongly at odds with the softer images behind,…

Film Preview: Passengers (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: Whereas this week’s new trailers are all relatively engaging, the posters have been anything but. However, this is at least the most interesting and carefully crafted of all of them. The only problem…
