Film Preview: Blindsight (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: For a documentary, the poster’s decidedly better than average. As a poster, it’s hardly remarkable. The title, when placed with the film’s subject is easily understood, a more firm understanding 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: Capturing the horror of the zombies on a cracked video camera may seem a bit obvious, but it works quite well in the context of the film. Everything is nicely laid out so…

Film Preview: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B; C- Review: A throwback to the posters for the original films, the full shot of Indy standing in front of, surprise, a Crystal Skull was utterly predictable and hardly noteworthy. The first poster harkened…

Film Preview: The Hammer (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Although the trailer is hardly worth noting, the poster is at least a little more stylistically interesting. The color yellow has become a dominant one this year, starting late in 2007. It’s not…

Film Preview: CJ7 (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: The is interesting, but hollow. It shows us a snippet of the creature featured in the film and the wide-eyed wonder of the two leads. However, there’s something cheesey and hammy in the…

The DVD Report #41
Jane Austen (1775-1817) is an author whose time has come again. Since the 1990s, films and handsome TV productions of her handful of novels published between 1810 and 1818, have been made, remade and reinterpreted numerous times. Where once only Pride and Prejudice was widely known as a cinematic work, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park,…

Film Preview: Married Life (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D- Review: I’ve seen a very small version of the real poster elsewhere and this isn’t it. This is a rudimentary placeholder that tries to take the “genre” in a new direction…one that has already…

Film Preview: Chaos Theory (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Simple doesn’t begin to describe this atar-on-a-bike, generic title font wall hanging. It isn’t even remotely expressive, which is dangerous when a poster is sometimes a film’s only marketing tool, especially for a…

Film Preview: The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B-; F Review: The reflective nature of the poster is quite fitting when compared with the film’s plot, which is better revealed in the second trailer. The poster isn’t as flashy as it could have…

Film Preview: Flawless (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Overly simplified and obvious, the poster features the diamond, the hallway and the two stars from the preview. It’s in no way exceptional in design or execution. Trailer Rating: C Review: It’s not…

The DVD Report #40
A long, but ultimately rewarding film, Andrew Dominik’s The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is informed by its gorgeous cinematography by ace Roger Deakins and the score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. Hailed as a revisionist take on a time-tested story, the film really doesn’t add much to the legend…

Film Preview: The Duchess (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+; D+ Review: A real poster putting Keira Knightley full front. It’s worth a try, but the period costumes aren’t likely to pull in the audience that would see Knightley in bigger budget fare. Case…

Film Preview: Doomsday (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: The famed red-black-and-white I complained about last year. You truly can never get away from these colors. What the symbol has to do with the film would require a full viewing, but it’s…

Film Preview: Bonneville (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: You’ve got the car. You’ve got the stars. Now, all you need is a great way to put them together. That much doesn’t not succeed. Trailer Rating: C+ Review: With such talent, you…
