Film Preview: Local Color (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Colorful for sure, but to entice an audience, this image won’t cut it. It might draw a few art majors, but it’s hardly worth noticing unless you know what the subject is. Trailer…

Film Preview: Forever Strong (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: For having a thoroughly unexceptioanl trailer, the poster for the film is better than I would have expected.

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 interesting gimmick of using the sideview mirror to cature the film’s characters, there isn’t anything very original in the poster. I can’t even see any appreciable symbolism, which doesn’t assist…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: It looks like something Pink Floyd might have once used on an album cover.

The DVD Report #68
I’m going to interrupt my chronological coverage of the film years that began with 1957 that has so far gone through 1962 to go back even further in time to talk about the film year 1940. While most film buffs and historians consider 1939 to be the best in Hollywood history, I think 1940 was…
