Film Preview: Baghead (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: What this poster has to do with the film, other than to suggest it’s something of a comedy, is anyone’s guess.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B; C+ Review: In-jokes mixed in with the clutter make this one of the week’s best entries, but not one of the best of the year. It’s relatively simple and somewhat safe, but the skull…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C; C Review: Way more simple than it needs to be, this poster is hardly exciting and, while it fits perfectly within the scope of the film’s plot, it isn’t one of those poster’s that’s…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The poster is evocative in that it is perfectly capsulating of the trailer.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: The latest in a long line of humor posters for unusual documentaries.
