number 1 is way too crowded... it'll disappear on the shelf... it's 'best-buy camouflage'
but none of the choices blew me away... standard fare... floating head overkill...
but what do i know, i'm a graphics designer, and clients choose the draft i deem the most ugly 9 out of 10 times...

These are all terrible. 2 & 3 are virtually identical. I abstain.
A better idea would be to get the cover art community to submit their ideas. I bet anybody over in the cover art forum could whip something better up in 5 minutes.

I voted #3 because I hate the "Big Head Syndrome" of DVD covers. I would much prefer "wasted space" than the crowding of the first example. Not that I have any interest in this particular movie, but the whimsical font of the third cover also seemed most appropriate.

Why is the Ad Arts (movie posters, billboards, DVD covers, VHS covers, even the sticky wall snipes) for African-American cinema alway so damn chump?
The studios clock huge profit margins from these films, yet they get treated like dirty step children...

#1 and #3. Absolutely hate the "bling-bling" title for the movie on #1, but the close-up on the characters is more appealing. Like the font used on the title for #3, and think the grill substituting for the o makes for a unique and easy way for the movie to stand out.
God, I just noticed the "diamonds" on the basketball. Horribly tacky. Make a fourth cover with the title/non-bling of #3 and the main photo of #1.
