Weekly Roundup #29

Every Friday, we're taking a look at the film and television posters released over the past week. Enjoy!
It's beautiful and exactly what you would expect from a documentary about the Earth.
Grade: B+ 
At this point, it's nearly impossible for American Horror Story to make anything creepier than their previous posters.
Grade: B-
A bunch of dramatic poses slapped together with an "exciting" tagline. Sigh.
Grade: C
Rarely do we see a poster choose to use so much blank space. Instead of the film's stars front-and-center in some romantic pose, we get something more quiet, and more telling.
Grade: A-

Weekly Roundup #28

Every Friday, we're taking a look at the film and television posters released over the past week. Enjoy! 
This poster is very successful at telling you the basic premise of the film, but it doesn't demonstrate any kind of impressive artistic creativity. 
Grade: B-
The inspirational faces in the center are nothing new, but the orange hue adds a certain aesthetic. Incorporating the chess pattern was an obvious choice given the film's topic, and it's done in a pretty creative way. 
Grade: B+
Arrival chose a pretty neat poster campaign, showing an ominous, slablike alien vessels in various locations around the world. Aside from an accidental controversy, it works out well.
Grade: B+
Pretty much exactly the kind of ridiculous action you'd expect.
Grade: B-

Weekly Roundup #27

Every Friday, we're taking a look at the film and television posters released over the past week. Enjoy! 
So you've got the titular hero with some interesting tones and blotches over the New York skyline. Could be better, but good enough.
Grade: B
There's something really weird going on in this poster, and even if it's difficult to interpret, you can't deny the unique artistic style.
Grade: A
Clearly this designer thinks that a bunch of zany faces photoshopped next to each other is enough to qualify as a "good" poster. Sorry!
Grade: C
I guess someone decided that Milla Jovovich didn't look badass enough on her own so they put a ring of fire around her. 
Grade: B-
Okay so let's get this straight: someone literally stitched six character posters together, put a banner in the middle, and called it good. Not cool. 
Grade: C-
The magazine ad style is cool and unique, but there's so much stuff to read that your mind tends to not even bother trying.
Grade: B-

Weekly Roundup #26

Every Friday, we're taking a look at the film and television posters released over the past week. Enjoy! 
Clearly, this poster would rather have you read about how great the movie is than actually see the main characters without squinting your eyes. 
Grade: C
It's creepy, but not in an especially creative way. 
Grade: A-
So there's smoke and fiery and some distant destruction and Mark Wahlberg brooding with some dirt on his face. At least there's a hint of something artistic in there. 
Grade: C+
American Horror Story continues to deliver some skin-crawling creepiness in its latest poster.
Grade: B+
