Film Preview: The Longshots (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Keke Palmer’s smile alone gives this poster some class. It’s sly and devious, but loving at the same time. The rest of the poster is dull in a way that I can’t effectively…

Film Preview: Holding Trevor (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 are soft, but not truly inviting.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D Review: There are very few words to describe the blandness of this poster.

Film Preview: Garden Party (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: As inexplicable as the title, the poster isn’t very engaging and doesn’t seem to fit.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C; C- Review: Too much orange. Too small of text.
