Film Preview: Lars and the Real Girl (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: It’s an interesting poster that relies on simplicity and humor to sell itself. Trailer Rating: B Review: Ryan Gosling continues to take on roles that will generate some amazing buzz. It’s an outrageous…

Film Preview: Ira and Abby (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: The third time this year is not a charm. Another animated back drop for flesh-and-blood characters. The use of red for the sky backdrop is interesting only in that it’s different than the…

Film Preview: Dragon Wars (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: They hardly look like your typical Western dragons. They hardly look like Asian dragons. Really, they look like fancy attempts to make cool looking creatures who fight over a city. That’s what the…

Film Preview: Dan in Real Life (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: From a marketing standpoint, a depressed Steve Carell can still sell the film, but the poster belies the comedic content of the trailer. This poster suggests an uproarious production. The trailer gives the…

The DVD Report #15
Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Columbo and Jessica Fletcher are beloved in their own right, but no sleuth, professional or otherwise, had as long an on-screen career as Charlie Chan, whose series of films lasted from 1929 through 1949, with occasional revivals on both the big and small screens in the years since. Chan,…

The DVD Report #14
The story of the 300 Spartans fighting to the death against the Persian army has been told for 2500 years. The CGI effects-heavy film made from Frank Miller’s (Sin City) graphic novel doesn’t have anything in it likely to stay with you more than 2500 minutes (that’s less than 2 days). Miller, who never lets…

Film Preview: The Comebacks (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: If anything, this poster will bring in guys who have fantasies about girls in football uniforms. The Coach-style lettering is fiting for the style, but this poster doesn’t give the audience enough information…

Film Preview: Drillbit Taylor (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C-; D- Review: Better than the first, placeholder poster, this one is not that much better. Relying on Owen Wilson to sell the film is one thing and putting him into a goofy “martial arts”…

Film Preview: Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Jason Lee looks nothing like the original David Seville, yet his face is plastered on the poster larger than the chipmunks themselves. And what’s with that look. You think he’s possibly frustrated, but…

Film Preview: Right at Your Door (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: It’s at once both intriguing and not. The Hollywood sign in the background is a bit more obvious than the reflection in the gas mask. However, the overall look doesn’t depart much from…

Film Preview: Resurrecting the Champ (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Rocky? Is that you? Apart from the style of dozens of other boxing dramas, this poster’s assault of yellow and orange is irrating. It does, however, distract from the poster’s lack of creativity.…

Film Preview: Ladron Que Roba a Ladron (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: What’s black and white and red all over? There are many possible answers to that old joke but this poster certainly doesn’t adequately answer it. There’s nothing very intersting about it and the…

Film Preview: The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: It’s quite interesting how posters are conveying the same impression of trailers lately. This poster does a good job of invoking the darkness of the film, while forcing you to question if it’s…
