“Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover” is a proverb whose simple existence proves the fact impressionable souls will do so without fail. This monthly column focuses on the film industry’s willingness to capitalize on this truth, releasing one-sheets to serve as not representations of what audiences are to expect, but as propaganda to fill seats. Oftentimes they fail miserably.
There are a lot of films opening this March that hold some interest. And not just the limited releases either. Disney has Zootopia (poster), Paramount has 10 Cloverfield Lane (poster) and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (poster), and Universal is bringing everyone’s favorite Windex-using family back with My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (poster).
Some of those received intriguing posters—well one did even if Zootopia‘s overflow of characters is similar to The Muppets and The Peanut Movie before it—but none are worth talking about beyond meeting expectations.

Online video and web series news worth clicking today… Workshop the series debuts Season 2 today on Hulu after inking a distribution deal with the network earlier this spring. Creator Nate Golon is calling it the first half-hour web comedy to premiere on the site, and looking back over our records, he may be right. “As an added bonus, we’ve also posted episode 2, since people were patient enough to wait an extra week,” said Golon on the launch. That means you’ll need to earmark about 44 minutes for this comedic look inside the world of struggling La actors. 20 minutes in, we’d have to say it’s worth it. Six episodes total are due out this season, adding up to a whopping 132 minutes of comedy. [Workshop on Hulu] ElfQuest came to life last night with the SAG screening and release of the “fan imagined” trailer for a would-be series based on the popular comic book series.
