Film Preview: August (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Hoping to capitalize on Josh Hartnett’s stature as a stud to female audiences, this poster oversimplifies itself and will do nothing to excite his fan base. Trailer Rating: D+ Review: What this film’s…

Film Preview: The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Garish and brash, this poster will pull no additional viewers to the film as it already had the name recognition. It’s also too similar to past incarnations and the red is overwhelming and…

Film Preview: The Go-Getter (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Obviously attempting to capture the viewers that made Into the Wild a success, this poster is almost a carbon copy. Sure the lead is standing on and not sitting on the vehicle and…

Film Preview: City of Ember (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Reminding me some of the overly simplistic title for The Last Mimzy, there’s a bit more detail and concept behind it, but it remains little more than a second rate kids movie poster.…

The DVD Report #55
Though genuine masterpieces from The Grapes of Wrath to Annie Hall to The Silence of the Lambs have been released in the month of January, Hollywood wisdom holds that this is the time to release films with low expectations while audiences are still catching up on the big year-end films. They are generally at best…

Film Preview: Miss Conception (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: I get it. The date planner, the two potential conquests, the best friend. I understand it all. I just don’t like it. The over abundance of pink is nauseating and why they had…

Film Preview: How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The warm and soft colors of the poster are visually pleasing. The festival stamps at the top of the poster aren’t helpful and the triptych of the three lead characters is a bit…

Film Preview: Bloodline (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Only briefly touched on in the trailer, this image is supposedly one that reveals that Mary Magdalene was pregnant. I don’t see that, but I hope that will be sufficiently explained in the…

Film Preview: Monster Camp (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Why they had to do an Animal House-style hand-drawn poster is a mystery. It’s not terribly engaging and it seems to make light of the film’s subjects, which may be ok, it’s just…

Film Preview: OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Garish and obvious, the poster for OSS 117 is anything but exciting. The lead actor being forefront and the attractive women in the back does not add to its enticement value. Trailer Rating:…

Film Preview: Frontier(s) (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Whether or not this poster would appeal to a mass audience is a moot point. That isn’t their target. Instead, the target is the horror audience, which is a little less discerning. However,…

Film Preview: Noise (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Garish, unpleasant and resembling Rush Limbaugh’s head, this poster is anything but agreeable. This may be part of the producers’ plans, but it’s anything but challenging or attractive, which doesn’t serve to bring…

Film Preview: The Foot Fist Way (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: I’m sure there’s a reason why the poster looks somewhat like a Korean flag, but I can’t understand why. Without a trailer to go off of, it’s impossible to know how comparable the…
