Film Preview: Terror’s Advocate (2007)
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 a moderately intersting one. The man who represented each of these “terorrists” in the courtroom is the subject of the documentary and this is moderately well conveyed in the poster.…

Film Preview: The Amateurs (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Very rudimentary comedy poster. It takes a very hammy approach to fit all the characters onto the poster and thematically link it to the film without any visual flare. Trailer Rating: C- Review:…

Film Preview: Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: The title mixed with orange jump suits does not an enticing poster make. The poster lacks any interesting or diversive elements and even the looks on the leads’ faces is campy and even…

Film Preview: Sharkwater (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: This poster seems more in line with a fiction film than a documentary. It’s nautical and interesting without being garish or irritating. Trailer Rating: B+ Review: Nature documentaries always bear a bit more…

Film Preview: After Dark Horrorfest: 2007 (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Sex sells and what’s more associated with horror than sex? Aliens, apparently? This poster may tie into one or two of the eight films, but I doubt it’s much more than a selling…

Film Preview: Mad Money (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Sometimes I wonder if production companies care how their films are marketed. Featuring Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes excitedly swiping and grabbing at money may capture the film’s themes, but the…

Film Preview: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: More split-screen posters, this one seems strangely similar in coloration and style to the one for Atonement. Bright colors surround the female of the story while darker colors highlight the male. Trailer Rating:…

Film Preview: Black Irish (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: The event photo theme has been done to death and the depressed visage that dominates the poster won’t easily entice people into the film and there’s only one, partially-hidden image that belies the…

Film Preview: Starting Out in the Evening (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: Mounting their Oscar campaign around a poster means that Frank Langella could get some boost from having his mug center-screen. The poster, however, looks more like a campaign tool than an attempt to…

Film Preview: Music Within (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: Another awards campaign-style poster that uses muted colors and smiling people to convey some of the happiness in the lives of the film’s characters. The colors aren’t terribly oppressive and the balance of…

Film Preview: Bella (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: Calming, soft colors and a moon-like title lettering help make this one of the more visually appealing films of the year. However, the massive amounts of text marring the tableau only serve to…

Film Preview: Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: The year’s third rose-driven poster, this one has more contrast than Youth Without Youth and excels slightly over I Know Who Killed Me, but still lacks any substantive necessity. The use of the…

The DVD Report #25
How many people do you know who watch scary movies on Halloween? I don’t watch them myself, nor do I know anyone who does, but in the days and weeks leading up the holiday there is no better way to get into the mood than to watch a few horror flicks back-to-back. Horror films have…
