Film Preview: Eastern Promises (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: A pair of hands and some tattoos with far too much black, white and red. There’s nothing remotely interesting about the poster besides the tattoos and the short bar at the base featuring…

Film Preview: Into the Wild (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 quite simple, but effective. It doesn’t go overboard in imagery and it isn’t overly vacant. With the right blend of color and composition, we have a design that is somewhat…

Film Preview: Hitman (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B-; D- Review: While stylistically, this poster is more engaging, its reliance on two colors, black and gold only accentuate the lack of depth the film itself has. Another placeholder/teaser poster that uses the video…

Film Preview: Michael Clayton (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: There is no purpose to the design of this poster. With George Clooney out of focus behind “The Truth Can be Adjusted”, it does very little to suggest what the audience can really…

Film Preview: The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Trying to capture a spirit of the 1980s, the poster’s designers got a significant amount wrong. The poster seems more attuned to the 1970s than it does to the video game era and…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C-; C+ Review: Attempting to look like a another Nancy Drew, the poster lacks any narrative impact and does very little to excite the eyes. The only interesting part is that it’s impossible to tell…

Film Preview: 2 Days in Paris (2007)
Trailers (Due to Age, May No Longer Be Available) Posters (Due to Age, May No Longer Be Available) Poster Rating: C- Review: What a jumble of displeasing colors. The chaotic nature of the background may fit well into the chaotic nature of the film’s plot, but it really doesn’t work well with Julie Delpy’s blonde…

Film Preview: This Is England (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 is rather unspectacular. There’s far too much blue in the image and the line of people looks more like the design for Murder by Death than any serio-comic film. Trailer Rating:…

Film Preview: Who’s Your Caddy (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Obviously a comedy from the looks of the poster, but it’s no more impressive than any other comedy’s poster in recent memory. The large red-and-yellow title is almost oppressive. The one thing it…

Film Preview: Dans Paris (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: Not the most evocative poster made this year, but certainly one that’s better than average. The male leads posted on the poster should drawn in an unsuspecting female demographic, but the French title…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D- Review: Good lettering. Bad everything else.

Film Preview: The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (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 is cute in an innocuous way. It’s simple in an innocuous way. All around, it’s just plain innocuous. Neither good, nor bad, this poster does precisely what the film was intended…
