Film Preview: The 11th Hour (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: You have to give credit to the producers for picking such an evocative image. A human boot print on the planet earth. There isn’t much else to the poster, but this image is…

Film Preview: Lady Chatterley (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Considering the subject matter, this is probably the most tantalizing, yet uncompromising posters they could cobble together. Thankfully the designers chose lush greens and yellows to highlight the poster instead of the typical…

Film Preview: Dynamite Warrior (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Other than titularly, there’s nothing that suggests this film is about any kind of dynamite.

Film Preview: The Wendell Baker Story (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: As uninventive as the poster is (what exactly does the car really have to do with the plot?), it’s not surprising that the trailer is a bit lacking in the humor department. The…

Film Preview: Cloverfield (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The poste rmakes the film look far too much like a summer blockbuster.

Film Preview: In the Valley of Elah (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: The poster only reinforces the patriotic claptrap that the film’s trailer promises. If the film isn’t overtly and unnecessarily patriotic then the poster gives the complete opposite message. Otherwise, it’s the perfect fit.…

Film Preview: Feast of Love (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C; F Review: The typical romantic poster featuring strips of film images of the various coupls of the film.

Film Preview: December Boys (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Whether intentional or not, the poster looks like the cover of a magazing from the 1950s. The magazine Boys Life may be what the creators were going for, but if so, it wasn’t…

Film Preview: Death Sentence (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Black. White. Red. Can I be any more sick of these color combinations?
