The DVD Report #35
A traditional way to start the New Year is to review the prior year’s best, so without ado, here is my ten best list of DVD releases for 2007. 1. Ford at Fox. A massive 24-film set including: Pilgrimage, The Prisoner of Shark Island, Young Mr. Lincoln, Drums Along the Mohawk, The Grapes of Wrath,

The DVD Report #34
Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good movie on DVD! With the opening of Tim Burton’s film version of Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd this past weekend, it’s time for my third and final dissertation on the evolution of the movie musical. I left off in 1978 with the dismal screen adaptation of another

Film Preview: Romance and Cigarettes (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 got a woman who’s smoking. The title’s covered, but the viewer’s eyes aren’t and should be as this poster has very little going for it other than a pull for adult men.

Film Preview: Mamma Mia (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Sparkly and bold, but hardly inventive. This is the kind of title-only poster that is purposefully uncomplicated and it doesn’t help much. It may entice Abba fans or those familiar with the musical,

Film Preview: Made of Honor (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: There’s nothing original or exciting about this poster. It’s over-simplified, inelegant and supremely boring. Trailer Rating: C- Review: Another wedding comedy, this time about a man as a maid of honor. Pair this

Film Preview: Hancock (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: They went out of their way to make Will Smith relatively off-putting. The hat is ugly and his parched lips are distracting. That the city is reflected in his glasses does helps make

Film Preview: The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: It’s almost impossible to tell what the film’s about simply by looking at the poster. You wouldn’t even realize that it features a fish-out-of-water story. The colors are bland and the setting uninteresting.

Film Preview: Nim’s Island (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Overflowing with images that represent the film, the poster for Nim’s Island is too chaotic. The colors are too distinctly separated, though it does give a light and airy impression that may be

The DVD Report #33
Finally! I now have my copy of the Ford at Fox box set. It is the DVD collection of the year, and well worth waiting for, but I have to caution that it is not for everyone. The casual collector will probably be satisfied with the previously available Young Mr. Lincoln, Drums Along the Mohawk,

Film Preview: Nanking (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: Classic, stylized but uneventful. It’s decent to look at, but hardly magnificent. The poster is simple and avoids shouting about the stars that are narrating. Trailer Rating: B Review: Taking, lesser known actors

Film Preview: In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Your typical fantasy poster. It’s been used for Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and many other pictures set in a fantastical world. Not very impressive, nor interesting. Trailer Rating: C- Review: I
