Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: While the poster is stylish, there’s very little substance and the kid on the poster might attract fellow skateboarders to the flick, but it’s doubtful it will lure anyone else.

The DVD Report #37
With the nominations for the 80th Annual Academy Awards less than a week away, I thought it would be a good time to take a look back at the films Oscar liked 25, 50 and 75 years ago. Twenty-five years ago the Best Picture nominees were E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, Gandhi, Missing, Tootsie and The Verdict,…

Film Preview: He Was a Quiet Man (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The poster’s quiet and simple. It uses muted colors to hide the people in the life of the lead character who holds the bomb that could destroy his own destiny. The poster is…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Uma Thurman hasn’t been able to sell a film she’s been a part of since Kill Bill. Her appearance in My Super Ex-Girlfriend was a joke and that she takes center position on…

Film Preview: Caramel (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Completely masking the film’s subject by making the movie look like it’s either A) a film about brothels or B) a sequel to Chocolat. Neither assessment fits. The colors are pleasant enough, but…

Film Preview: Never Back Down (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Taking on the imbalanced style of more interesting posters like Shoot ‘Em Up and Cassandra’s Dream, this poster has a good blend of colors and mixture of images, each one likely to bring…

Film Preview: The Hottie and the Nottie (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: This Superstar-colored poster tries to capitalize on Paris Hilton’s waifish-thin looks while featuring the film’s other titular comparison. It’s a rather repulsive idea much like the trailer. Trailer Rating: D+ Review: Dreadfully ugly,…

The DVD Report #36
Inexplicably lost among the summer blockbusters, Stardust rightfully won the Phoenix Film Critics Society Award as the most overlooked film of 2007. Judging its DVD sales numbers, it could also emerge as the most overlooked DVD of 2007-2008. Directed by Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake), this rollicking adventure is worth all the year’s blockbusters and sequels…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: I’ve never been a fan of this style of comic art and this one in particular says nothing about the plot of the film and is more likely aimed at fanboys who might…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: This poster is so extremely cluttered that it takes several seconds to realize what it’s even about and that its subject is a breakdancing competition is even farther from representative as it looks…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: The poster suggests a film in the vein of Control about a young musician perhaps coming up from hard times. This isn’t far from the truth of the film, but it is a…

2008 Year in Review
The Best | The Worst | The Individual Best The Best Every time I hear someone referring to this year or that year as the “worst this decade” or “the most dismal year in film history”, I wonder how they measure a great year versus a bad year. Did they not give out enough four-star…
