Of the week’s new limited releases, The Shape of Water has the most potential to be a box office hit after its limited run. There are no new wide releases, so it will be Coco at the top of the charts.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): It looks like it might be cheesy fun, but definitely not something to rush out and see.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Another what? Never knew there was one to begin with.
Tripp Burton (TB): Apparently WolfCop was a movie? That warranted a sequel? This is all news to me.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): There was nothing about this trailer that looked at all appealing.

Peter J. Patrick (PP): Another sequel to another film I never heard of.
Tripp Burton (TB): Apparently Brotherhood of Blades was a movie? That warranted a sequel? This is all news to me.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): Having not seen the first one, I have little desire to see this. If you are in to Japanese sword epics, then you may well enjoy it.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): Early word is that it’s good, though it doesn’t hold a lot of appeal for me.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Early reviews are ecstatic, but nothing in the trailers convinces me this is something worth seeking out.
Tripp Burton (TB): I’ve never seen The Room — extremely bad movies don’t interest me much — so I’m not as game for this film as everyone else seems to be.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): I’ve heard good things about this film, including James Franco’s supposedly best performance, but a lackluster trailer doesn’t make me that interested in seeing it.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): Another throwaway gangster movie. Not for me.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Minor gangster film with minor cast is not likely to revive interest in Al Capone.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks dreadful.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): I have seen other gangster movies, and this does not look to improve on the genre.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): Guillermo Del Toro’s period fantasy romance looks spectacular. One of the last must-see movies of the year for me.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): One of the year’s most eagerly anticipated films and a likely Oscar contender in numerous categories.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks like a return to form for del Toro, and one of the best films of the year.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): Everything I have heard about this film makes it sound like a marvel with heart, not an easy thing to pull off. I am really looking forward to it.

Peter J. Patrick (PP): Under-the-radar domestic drama might find an audience on home video.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks like a strong vehicle for Jennifer Garner, who doesn’t get enough strong vehicles.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): It’s an intimate family drama, but I am not sure that I want to spend time with this family.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): Woody Allen is a director who has been more hit than miss in recent years. Probably not worth the time.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Looks like another disappointing late-career Woody Allen film with a long shot Best Actress contender.
Tripp Burton (TB): This seems to harken back to some of Woody’s nostalgic 80s films like Radio Days or Purple Rose, and I would love to see that.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): It looks like second-rate Woody Allen, though that is usually better than what most people produce. Kate Winslet is supposed to be very good.
