HEREAFTER - One Sheet

I pretty much love anything Clint Eastwood turns his attention too. Naturally I'm excited to see this. I have only one question about this poster. Why is everything so blue in the hereafter? Can I wear corrective glasses to warm up the tones a bit?

THE NEX THREE DAYS - One Sheet

I think the Russell Crowe train is pulling into the station He'll bust out another Oscar performance in a few years, and suddenly we'll remember that he used to be a pretty powerful actor. I'll admit that THE NEXT THREE DAYS looks dumb... but also a lot of fun. The poster, here, is pretty good.

BLACK SWAN - Trailer

I suppose there is a lot to be intrigued about here. Maybe it is my Midwestern upbringing but I find most of this trailer to be overblown claptrap. Equal parts ALL ABOUT EVE, THE RED SHOES, and SINGLE WHITE FEMALE only give this trailer and the film by extension the look and feeling of pastiche. For as 'cinematic' as Mr. Aronofsky is as a director, I find his grander expressions of filmmaking to be facile and leaden.

BLACK SWAN - One Sheet



Woah!? Creepy. I know it always comes back to what I don't like about these posters but those 'Festival' tags make it look like she has an angel and a devil on her shoulder. Putting those on any poster dooms it too great reviews and terrible box office. Enter the lesbian sex scene. The widely reported rumor of an extreme lesbian sex scene is probably over blown. Even in this day and age I have to believe 'extreme' lesbian anything is code for two black silhouettes dry humping each other.

THE NEXT THREE DAYS - Trailer

Mr Crowe has always been a forceful actor. If he has done anything in the last ten years it is to perfect... almost to parody... the just under the surface rage that many of his characters struggle to control. I know others dislike his brand of acting, but for me he has been a consistently reliable actor. Now ROBIN HOOD was such a flaccid turd... there is the parody part... that I almost feel that THE NEXT THREE DAYS needs to be a come back film for him. Working in the movies favor is the Director Haggis who even if you hate his message is a fine director. The funny and lovely Elizabeth Bank and of course Liam Neeson doing a version of his TAKEN and A-TEAM characters. I don't mind saying this looks pretty enjoyable.

FASTER - Trailer

The Rock is a smart dude. He built a solid career on B-Movie action roles, before making a comfortable living doing kids movies. Now you may think they are terrible... and most of them are... but the thing about Mr. Johnson is that he could have a really good career in comedy. Not just because of his eyebrow arches, but primarily because the guy has a sense of humor about himself. He seems comfortable in his own skin, and that is why he is a pretty good actor.

IT'S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY - Trailer

The minute you try andto market to the neuroses of the teenage mind.... you have lost them.
