Preview: Choose Connor (2008)

• Poster: C; C+

Review:

We've seen several posters using the image-within-an-image technique used to create an interesting poster, but here it just looks haphazard and uninventing. It's almost frightening to look at, possibly scaring off more viewers than it will draw in.

Although this poster is a significant improvement over the bizarre first poster, this second one is a little less interesting. It is laden with political symbolism that feels about as fresh as a hardened bagel.

• Trailer: B

Review:

While there are a few elements in the trailer that give me hope that the film will be somewhat deep in its examination of the political process, there are still more elements that make this look like a made-for-TV movie and not one of the better ones.

Oscar Prospects:

Steven Weber can't even get an Emmy nomination. He's not going to get Oscar recognition.

Release Date:

• October 10, 2008
