Looking at the Weekend: Aug. 1-3, 2014

If you don’t believe that Guardians of the Galaxy will dominate the weekend, you’re not going to win that office pool.

Individual Commentaries

Wesley Lovell: It seems like a pretty good weekend for the movies, especially the wide releases.
Peter J. Patrick: A few minor Oscar contenders opening this week.
Tripp Burton: It’s an interesting series of Summer films this weekend, but it all depends on which of these off-beat films floats your boat.
Thomas LaTourrette: All four releases sound good, hard to believe in the summer. Hopefully they will live up to their hype, but in the meanwhile enjoy the bounty this weekend.
