Review: (#1-#3) While none of these designs are particularly effective, the first is a little more interesting than the others and the third is just absolutely useless. Why they are trying to conjure up images of American Beauty I have no idea.

(#4-#6) The fourth and sixth designs are similar, using the same consulting aspect adding a more prominent New York City background for the sixth design, which is a marked improvement. The fifth design is a gaudy yellow color that doesn’t seem to have an actual purpose as a design.

Trailer: C

Review: It’s looks like a Woody Allen film and even has him as a supporting star, but there’s something artificial about the humor and the trailer construction makes it even less interesting.

Oscar Prospects:

John Turturro doesn’t have the same cachet as Woody Allen, but getting Allen to appear in his film in a supporting role may give credence to his emergence as a post-Allen Allenite exploring life through the lens of New York City. An April release wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility for such a move, though at this point I’m doubtful.
