The DVD Report #32
I still haven’t received my copy of the massive Ford at Fox collection so I’m unable to review the films that are included in the set, but I can tell you what’s in it and what’s not. Ford’s career at Fox took off with 1924’s The Iron Horse, a blockbuster about the westward expansion caused…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: The costuming’s hardly visible, the hairstyling isn’t very intersting. I can’t see how this poster would actually pull an audience to the film. It’s not even remotely appealing on the eyes. Trailer Rating:…

Film Preview: In Bruges (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: Color-wise the poster is washed out, but fitting. Stylistically, the superimposition of characters over several Bruges scenes is a bit off-putting. Trailer Rating: B Review: The Oscar-winning director of the live-action short film…

Film Preview: 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: There’s nothing exceptionally attractive about the poster.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Although the pink title is an eyesore, the rest of the poster works well together.
