• Actress (WL,PP,TB,TL)

Wesley Lovell (WL): I like Meryl in most things, but this doesn’t look like nearly as much fun as it should.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Already released everywhere except in the U.S., box office prospects don’t look promising, but Meryl Streep seems primed for her 20th Oscar nod anyway.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks amusing enough, but I’m not rushing to see it.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): I am still unsure of this movie, though the critics have been quite kind. Streep will undoubtedly have a field day playing a woman who can’t sing.

• None

Wesley Lovell (WL): I grew up on the original, so this remake doesn’t hold the same appeal to me.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): I didn’t care for the original, but this one looks like an improvement sans the Sherman Brothers’ least distinguished score.
Tripp Burton (TB): I loved the original as a child, but I’m not exactly sure how well that has been rebooted.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): I never saw the original film, so there is no nostalgia for me on this. But the trailer and critics are encouraging, so it might be worth seeing.

Wesley Lovell (WL): The concept appeals to me and a raunchy animated film would certainly be a nice change of pace.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Hot dogs and buns on their way to their demise. Somehow I don’t think this is a cartoon movie for kids.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks insufferable.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): The ratings are superb at Rotten Tomatoes, but I am just not certain it will be that funny. Though, South Park the movie was hysterical, so there is hope.

Anthropoid

• None

Wesley Lovell (WL): The film’s entire premise is compelling, but the August release worries me.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Looks to be the better of the two anti-Nazi movies being released this week.
Tripp Burton (TB): Yet another WWII film, and another one I’m not sure we exactly need.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer looks gripping, but the early reviews make this WWII-set film sound like it misses the mark. Pity.

Beyond Valkyrie: Dawn of the Fourth Reich

Wesley Lovell (WL): Why is this not releasing direct-to-video? That’s how bad it looks.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Looks like the less interesting of the two anti-Nazi movies being released this week.
Tripp Burton (TB): Yet another WWII film, and another one I’m not sure we exactly needed.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): This definitely looks like the middle of the three WWII-themed films that are coming out this week. Anthropoid looks the better one if you need to see one.

Edge of Winter

• None

Wesley Lovell (WL): It looks entirely formulaic, but that might not be a bad thing.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Looks like the second coming of The Night of the Hunter, which could be a good thing.
Tripp Burton (TB): Survival films aren’t my favorite genre, so I’ll wait to see this if people really love it.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): This just looks like bad family drama mixed with dangerous strangers all trapped in the same cabin. I will pass.

Ghost Team

• None

Wesley Lovell (WL): I love spoofs, but even this looks like an unfunny chore.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Paranormal nonsense looks like an utter waste of time.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks brutally unfunny.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): This film looks like it tries too hard to be humorous when a gang of fools try to be ghost hunters. It looks neither funny nor scary.

Hell or High Water

• Original Screenplay (PP,TB)
• Original Score (PP)
• Cinematography (PP)

Wesley Lovell (WL): I like one of the actors in the film, but not enough to give it any of my time.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Strong cast in modern western from the writer of Sicario and the director of Starred Up looks like a winner.
Tripp Burton (TB): I’ve been waiting since Cannes to see this, and can’t wait to check it out.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): The early reviews are great, but the trailer really doesn’t excite me about brothers robbing banks to help their mother.

The Model

• None

Wesley Lovell (WL): Something about this film draws me in, but the trailer also doesn’t quite sell me on it.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Stylish but uninvolving melodrama about a fashion model doesn’t look like anything I’d be in a rush to see.
Tripp Burton (TB): I’ve heard little about this, but it seems intriguing enough.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): A model being pursued by a photographer, this film has pretty people and settings but it looks familiar.

Operation Chromite

• None

Wesley Lovell (WL): What’s the Japanese equivalent of direct-to-video?
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Looks like another paycheck movie for Liam Neeson.
Tripp Burton (TB): Yet another WWII film, and another one I’m not sure we exactly needed.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): This definitely looks like the weakest of the three WWII-set films opening, with overwrought acting and tons of explosions. It’s probably not worth it.
