    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: Using the blacked out text in a governmental report to allow the image of a child bleed through from the background is a clever ploy. The colors, however, don’t work well together and…

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The camera poised over a couple kissing is well paired with a series of floating cam images behind. It’s not outstanding, but it’s definitely fitting for the film. Trailer Rating: B- Review: This…

  • The DVD Report #28

    Anyone who knows me knows I’m not a big fan of cartoon movies, but every once in a while one comes along that is so hyped up it’s hard to ignore. Ratatouille is one that is worthy of the hype. The film from Disney Pixar ( Toy Story, Cars) is beautifully lit, so much so…

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Simplicity is often more effective than complexity. In this, we have Naomi Watts crying. It should be enough to bring in any audiences who want to see that. Joking aside, it is completely…

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: While this four-tiered poster ignores the current trend in color schemes and uses those that wouldn’t normally be found together, the thing remains a prototypical genre flick in design. Trailer Rating: B- Review:…

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The dijon yellow is different enough in color to many of the other yellow-centric posters we’ve had this year. Denzel Washington in black and white along with the coloring make this fit more…

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C; D- Review: This poster is relatively inexpressive. Putting only star Daniel Day-Lewis’ picture on the poster denies the poster from taking on a symbolic and intriguing conveyance of the film’s difficult and complex themes.…

  • The DVD Report #26

    It’s time to get caught up with new releases again. The 80th Anniversary Edition of The Jazz Singer is of more historical than entertainment value today. The film itself is a creaky tale of the Jewish cantor’s son who finds success beyond the synagogue to the disdain of his father. It is about 80% silent…
