Film Preview: Plague Town (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: You can see this creepy character barely in the trailer, but that’s about it and the trailer doesn’t say much about the significance of the people or the person on this poster, making…

Film Preview: My Name Is Bruce (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: D+ Review: Fairly pathetic in terms of humor posters. It may easily draw in Bruce Campbell fans, but that’s about it. Trailer Rating: D Review: What a boring, irritating trailer filled with arrogant, egotistical acting.…

Film Preview: The Class (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: Using images from a film is a fairly old concept in poster design and this one certainly doesn’t do anything new with it. Trailer Rating: B- Review: The film has earned amazing accolades,…

Film Preview: Dark Streets (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: A- Review: What a marvellous, creative poster, blending jazz trumpet, old-style marquee signs and a faint image of the film. There is no question this film is about the blues. Trailer Rating: B Review: Not…

Film Preview: I Can’t Think Straight (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: The awful pink color blazened across the bottom of the screen is almost as distracting Sheetal Sheth’s rather scary looking facial expression.

Film Preview: Last Chance Harvey (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: Safely generic and unengaging, those expecting a romantic story between Hoffman and Thompson won’t be disappinted, but really there is nothing stellar or attractive about this design. Trailer Rating: C+ Review: There is…

Film Preview: Gran Torino (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: A rather undistinguished poster for such a promising project. Clint Eastwood’s image might pull people to the theater expecting a gun-toting Dirty Harry-style film and then they’ll be exceedingly disappointed if they haven’t…

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Although there is a line of text early in the trailer suggesting that there are some disturbing events in the film, a poster that’s designed more like a horror film does not make…

Film Preview: Eden (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: Color rich, but emotionally lacking, this design takes a risk by not giving a more evocative idea what the film is about and instead relying on facial expressions to tell a story of…

Film Preview: Delgo (2008)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C- Review: As childish as the trailer, this poster reminds me of the VHS box covers of those direct-to-video Disney rip-offs.
