Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): From the trailer alone, it’s clear that the film has no desire of being honest or realistic, so I have no time for it.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): It looks like shameless treacle.
Tripp Burton (TB): I have no idea what this series is!
Thomas LaTourette (TL): This faith-based film looks incredibly hokey. I will pass.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): A film that looks like it could be interesting, but probably won’t be, especially since it was pushed back from its original release.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Not many films from New Zealand reach us in the U.S. but those that do are usually outstanding.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks really interesting, but I’ll wait to watch it at home.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): I seem to remember this trailer from more than a year ago. It still looks like it could be interesting.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): It’s Richard Linklater, so it can’t be bad.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Linklater’s Dazed and Confused for the 80s, could go either way.
Tripp Burton (TB): One of my most anticipated films of the year.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer did not excite me, but the early reviews are very good, so hopefully this Richard Linklater production will be better than it looks.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): There’s nothing particularly cringeworthy or exceptional to this trailer.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): This looks like a low rent American Psycho.
Tripp Burton (TB): Not really my cup of tea, but it looks interesting enough.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): This trailer of the British music industry is a mess. I am not sure if it wants to be funny, gruesome, frightening, but it looks like it could be a total misfire.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): I like genre spoofs, but I’m not sure that this will be among the best.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): The trailer starts out amusingly but descends into silliness, which likely describes the film as well.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks abysmal.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): This supposed satire had no humor in the trailer.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): Even Don Cheadle can’t make this look more than passable.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Delayed Miles Davis biopic could be a hit for Don Cheadle.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks really interesting, but the fact that it has been held back makes me worry.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): The reviews are mixed and the trailer does not encourage me to see the film, but Don Cheadle can be an interesting actor. The movie feels overwrought.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): It might be diverting, but it won’t really be more than a feature-length You Tube video. A less moronic version of Jackass perhaps?
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Natural born idiots with too much time on their hands.
Tripp Burton (TB): A bad Jackass rip-off that looks painful.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): Sophomoric hijinks do not thrill me. It sounded better than it looks.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): The film may have a lot of potential, but I’m not 100% sold on that prospect.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Am I the only one who thinks the serial killer cop in this French thriller looks like a young Ted Cruz?
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks really interesting and below the radar.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): This looks like it will be a police drama where the lead detective is also the killer. It’s been done before, and probably better.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): It could be most fascinating.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Nice to see Catherine Deneuve still standing in blandly titled French juvenile delinquency drama.
Tripp Burton (TB): Last year’s Cannes opener should be worth checking out.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): A film about an angry adolescent bouncing around the French foster care system should grab one, but the trailer does little for me. Early reviews are good, so maybe it will live up to those.
