The DVD Report #18
We’re going to take a little digression this week, folks. Before there were DVDs there were CDs. Before there were movies available for home consumption, there were records. From the introduction of the LP, in the late 1940s, to well into the 1980s, one of the most popular recording genres was the original cast album.…

Film Preview: Quiet City (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 reminds me of the seventies a great deal. With its limited color range and patchwork unevenness, this poster is at once unusual and commonplace. It displays some of the actors, but…

Film Preview: O Jerusalem (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The golden tones help suggest the “promise” of the legendary holy city of Jerusalem. The city within the “O” would have been slightly more effective had it not then been duplicated in the…

Film Preview: Moving McAllister (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: They choose the dorkiest image of Ben Gourley from the film in hopes of securing the Superbad audience. However, the nauseating shade of puce they chose does little more than assault the mind.…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: Actions shots for a sports film? What are the odds? While it’s stylistically indistinguishable from many others, the colors are crisp and the layout is visually appealing. Trailer Rating: B- Review: Sports films…

Film Preview: The Hottest State (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Warm colors for a story of love. How novel?

Film Preview: Stephen King’s The Mist (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B Review: The first poster for the film seems to graphically stimulating to be associated with the film. It belies the human drama that’s featured in the preview and looks more like Poltergeist than a…

Film Preview: Saw IV (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B-; B; B Review: The first is every bit as pseudo-macabre as the others in the franchise and, if it weren’t for the title, we might even be able to guess the source film without…

Film Preview: Great World of Sound (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: With its stars trapped hopelessly in seventies garb, it’s no wonder that the poster feels so dated. The big bold yellow letters hardly help mask the lackluster nature of the entire artwork. Trailer…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: I don’t get the color choice here. It’s a bit distracting and while it barely makes the balloon sailing through the air and John Cusack stand out, even the clever use of the…

The DVD Report #17
Oscar has never been kind to films made in languages other than English. Even in the waning days of silent films when all films shown in the U.S. were released with English subtitles, masterpieces such as Carl Theodore Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc and G.W. Pabst’s Pandora’s Box (both of which are available…

Film Preview: Eye of the Dolphin (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: The best that can be said is that it’s a pleasing, nautical shade of green. Otherwise, it’s just a girl holding onto a dolphin, which could be an image from any overly-common television…

Film Preview: Closing Escrow (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: There is no style or quality to this poster. It feels like every bit of it was an after thought, for if it were planned, I don’t know how the creators could have…
