Weekly Roundup #25

Every Friday, we're taking a look at the film and television posters released over the past week. Enjoy! 

Thankfully, this poster actually focuses on the mind-bending tone of the movie and its titular hero, rather than jumbling all of the characters into a big, overcrowded mess.
Grade: A-

Kong? Check. Skull? Check. As a teaser poster, this does pretty well. 
Grade: B+

The awkward photoshop in this poster is a little cringeworthy, but the real sad thing is that this popular book series is being made into a movie coming next month and no one had no idea until now. Somehow this has become even worse than the typical mediocre YA popcorn flick that you would expect from Maximum Ride. 
Grade: D

It's a pretty unique method of visualizing the complex relationship dynamics in the film. Who needs photoshop when you can just use people? 
Grade: A-

So I get that when you have Matt Damon in a film you need to show off his face (The Martian and Jason Bourne proved that), but in this case, the poster makes you really wish that you could see more of the titular Great Wall (and whatever those explosions are) in the background.
(Also, that doesn't even look like Matt Damon whatsoever, so major fail.)
Grade: C+

Weekly Roundup #24

Every Friday, we're taking a look at the film and television posters released over the past week. Enjoy! 

The colors are a bit dull but it still succeeds in creating an air of mystery.
Grade: B+

It looks good enough, but you'd think they could come up with a more creative use of the traintrack motif. 

Horror movie posters really like the color red. At least this one tries something new and unique with the silhouette and dirty smudges.
Grade: A-

The heroine herself and her costume are nothing new, but the natural, vibrant colors promise something better than the bleak tones we saw in Batman v Superman.

Every Friday, we're taking a look at the film and television posters released over the past week. Enjoy! 

Skulls. Zombies. How creative. 
Grade: B-

It's simple humor, but it works. 
Grade: B

At first glance, it's a retro poster for a new horror movie. Then you realize it's something much worse...
Grade: B-

A good character poster tells you something more about the character than just their name and the actor who plays them. So based on that, this poster is pretty boring.
Grade: C

Not only is this poster visually beautiful, but it also does something that no Star Wars poster has done before: it focuses on the larger scheme of the film rather than the specific characters. No hint of Struzan influence – at least, not yet.

Weekly Roundup #22

Every Friday, we're taking a look at the film and television posters released over the past week. Enjoy! 

You'd never think that a poster as artistic and classy as this one was for a zombie movie. 
Grade: B+

This poster seems to succeed most in transforming Daniel Radcliffe, an actor whose post-Harry Potter career has been delightfully unconventional, into a typical stony-faced action star.
Grade: C

Not only does this poster convey the basic father-daughter theme of the film, but it also boasts a distinctive and beautiful color scheme.
Grade: A-

Beneath the obvious patriotic theme lies a much greater element that the casual viewer may not even notice: those colorful stripes are shoelaces, referencing the 2012 Boston Marathon bombing that the film is based on.
Grade: A 

Just like with Cinderella, Disney teases their next live-action remake with the story's instantly-recognizable symbol.

Grade: B+

Weekly Roundup #21

Every Friday, we're taking a look at the film and television posters released over the past week. Enjoy! 

No clue what this film is about, but the graininess of the poster is definitely trying to create some kind of aesthetic.
Grade: B+

Okay, this is just ridiculous in every way.
Grade: C

Sinister and truly eerie. The title promises trees, and the poster gives us trees. 
Grade: A

The red coloring and yellow star are clearly trying to say something about the film, but what?
Grade: B
