Preview: Walking on Dead Fish (2008)

• Poster: D+

Review:

The worst choice of a title I've heard all year doesn't assist this poster that's every bit as unoriginal as anything we've seen this year. While the colors are well balanced and the non-sports images are crisp, it's not enough to make a difference.

• Trailer: C

Review:

Awful title compounded by a less than spectacular trailer. As I'm not a sports fan, the football aspect doesn't appeal to me. However, the resilience in the face of human tragedy does. But, there's not a lot to sell the documentary otherwise in this preview.

Oscar Prospects:

Another inspirational documentary about the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the people of Louisiana. The problem is that there are already a number of other films out this year on that subject, each more intersting. Mix that with the sports motif and you have very little chance.
