Film Preview: Kicking It (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The concept of the world as a soccer ball fits perfectly with the subject of the documentary.

Film Preview: Death Race (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: An improvement over the trailer, the poster is at least interesting to look at, an homage to a style seldom used since its heyday. However, there’s still nothing encouraging those fans of the…

Film Preview: Miracle at St. Anna (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: There isn’t anything fancy or embellished here. It’s a simple concept bridging the film’s subject, trailer and poster. It’s visually pleasing and balanced. Trailer Rating: B- Review: Spike Lee’s been trying for last…

Film Preview: Gunnin’ for That #1 Spot (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Taking one of the photos shown in the trailer and turning it into a black-and-white drawing isn’t terribly exciting and the yellow background is little if not distracting. Trailer Rating: C- Review: This…

The DVD Report #58
Continuing my look at the films of previous years available or not on DVD, it’s time to look at 1960. The film year of 1960 holds special significance for me as it was the year in which I first worked in a movie theatre after school and, for the first time, saw almost all of…

The DVD Report #57
With all the major movies from last year having been released on DVD, it’s time to catch up on the “little” films you may have missed, or lose yourself in the thrall of a beloved classic. The most ambitious film to be made from a Stephen King work in some years, Frank Darabont’s Stephen King’s…

Film Preview: Nights in Rodanthe (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: This poster makes Richard Gere look a lot older than he really is, which doesn’t make for a pleasing connection with the audience looking for a romance. Yes, his and Diane Lane’s postures…

Film Preview: Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: The strangeness and flair of the poster is definitely notable, but that overbearing black-white-and-red motif still annoys. Trailer Rating: C+ Review: I’ve never been interested in the work of Hunter S. Thompson. He’s…

The DVD Report #56
We’ve previously taken a look back at the films of 1957 and 1958. This week, I’d like to take another stroll down memory lane and look at the films of 1959 starting with that year’s ten best, all of which are available on DVD. The year’s best film, certainly the most fun, was Billy Wilder’s…

Film Preview: The Last Mistress (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: The close-up is a bit too extreme and it seems decidedly tame for a film about a marriage of convenience and a mistress with the power to hold the lead enraptured. It also…

Film Preview: The Edge of Heaven (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: How the poster plays into the film thematically, is anyone’s guess. It doesn’t make a lot of sense based on the presently-available trailer. From this alone, it looks more like a film about…

Film Preview: Eagle Eye (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Taking a slightly new approach to the title-bisected frame, this poster doesn’t improve on the formula much. It’s nice to see this kind of detail, but the detail isn’t terribly exceptional thematically or…
