Looking at the Weekend: Jan. 18-20, 2013

The year is only three weeks old and we’ve already had a horror (or horrorish) film release every weekend. Will it be tops of the new releases again like its predecessors? Possibly, but I’m giving the edge to Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe. I know that Ryan Gosling and Sean Penn couldn’t do it this weekend, but anything is possible in the near future.

Individual Commentaries

Wesley Lovell: I can’t really muster up any interest in this week’s releases. If I had to pick one of them, I’d go with Mama, but I probably won’t go with any of them.
Peter J. Patrick: Big stars in new movies in January usually means big bombs but not always. Could we have one or two exceptions to the rule this week?
Tripp Burton: More uninteresting looking films being dumped by the studios, so I will be using this weekend to catch up on Oscar nominees I haven’t seen yet.
