Film Preview: Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B+ Review: Strangely, the clutter only accentuates the film’s childlike nature. It doesn’t use the traditional bright colors to bring the audience into its fold, settling for cooler colors that make the design seem all…

Film Preview: Shoot ‘Em Up (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B; C; C; C Review: Because all of the posters are basically the same, I’m not going to take too much time to discuss them individually. The top poster works because it’s not too much…

Film Preview: Broken English (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: I am unimpressed with the poster. There is little substance to it and only barely engages emotional responses and probably the wrong ones. Trailer Rating: B- Review: Parker Posey is a competent actress,…

Film Preview: Strike (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Only minimally engaging, this poster befits a Hollywood film more than it does a German production. The design of the title is the most interesting part of the poster, but there are too…

Film Preview: The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: There is absolutely nothing to this poster. It’s a title on a wood-plank background, albeit it a colorful and appropriate title. Trailer Rating: C- Review: Released in the berth that spawned such disasters…

Film Preview: Introducing the Dwights (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: A train wreck of colors splashed unnecessarily across the poster’s face. Featuring far too many close ups of Brenda Blethyn and too few of the other stars, it’s clear this is a Blethyn…

Film Preview: Gone Baby Gone (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 a lovely view, but an unimpressive poster. Casey Affleck’s gun-carrying image does give a slight inkling of the film’s plot and the background tells us where the film’s set, but that’s all…

Film Preview: Skinwalkers (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 makes the film seem more like the traditional vampire flick than it really is. However, it’s still more engaging than many of the other similar poster. Perhaps a bit less spittle…

The DVD Report #9
There was a time not so long ago when holidays in America meant more than a day off from work. Now, aside from Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s, what holidays do Americans really celebrate? Certainly not the 4th of July (Independence Day), except as an excuse to watch fireworks displays or, in some cases, set…

Film Preview: The Hunting Party (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Going for the war-torn look of the lettering, the black-and-white characters on the split-orange background really doesn’t appeal to the eye. It looks as if the creators were forcing an artistic style. Trailer…
