• The DVD Report #26

    It’s time to get caught up with new releases again. The 80th Anniversary Edition of The Jazz Singer is of more historical than entertainment value today. The film itself is a creaky tale of the Jewish cantor’s son who finds success beyond the synagogue to the disdain of his father. It is about 80% silent

  • Film Preview: Mr. Untouchable (2007)

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: The biggest problem with the poster is the use of red. I can understand the use of a reversed negative image balancing the tagline, but the red merely makes it feel like so

  • Film Preview: Terror’s Advocate (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 a moderately intersting one. The man who represented each of these “terorrists” in the courtroom is the subject of the documentary and this is moderately well conveyed in the poster.

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Very rudimentary comedy poster. It takes a very hammy approach to fit all the characters onto the poster and thematically link it to the film without any visual flare. Trailer Rating: C- Review:

    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: The title mixed with orange jump suits does not an enticing poster make. The poster lacks any interesting or diversive elements and even the looks on the leads’ faces is campy and even

It’s nautical and interesting without being garish or irritating. Trailer Rating: B+ Review: Nature documentaries always bear a bit more

Aliens, apparently? This poster may tie into one or two of the eight films, but I doubt it’s much more than a selling

Featuring Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes excitedly swiping and grabbing at money may capture the film’s themes, but the

Bright colors surround the female of the story while darker colors highlight the male. Trailer Rating:

The poster, however, looks more like a campaign tool than an attempt to

The colors aren’t terribly oppressive and the balance of

However, the massive amounts of text marring the tableau only serve to
