While Avengers: Endgame will remain atop the box office, but what will come in second? There are two possibilities. The first is UglyDolls, an animated musical with a lot of big names, but a terrible bunch of previews. The other option is Long Shot starring Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen as a presidential candidate and the journalist who she knew in High School.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): A Hispanic vigilante could prove to be an interesting film, but the trailer does not make a good case for it.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Routine police drama which appears to recycle standard 1930s plot.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): A cop turning vigilante to try and protect his city from drug lords is not a bad idea, and perhaps somewhat relevant, but the trailer makes it look like just another bloody shoot-em-up film.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): Good actors do not elevate a cheesy and overdone premise.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Overwrought thriller with pretty scenery. I’ll pass.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): I like Dennis Quaid and wanted to like the trailer, but it felt formulaic and unpleasant.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): Some of the trailers have been funny, but the movie almost reeks of desperation
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Odd couple comedy looks rather dimwitted, but looks can be deceiving.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): It might prove to be an amusing odd couple love story, but it already feels creaky and not terribly believable.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): I have high hopes for this film about accepting others in spite of their appearances, but the trailers haven’t given enough credence to the potential it will be any good.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Lively score accompanying rather dull animation could be mildly entertaining.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): This probably will be one of those animated films that opens and quickly disappears, though it might prove better than its trailer.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): An interesting figure, but the trailer doesn’t quite sell it.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Interesting looking musical biography of the first cornet king of New Orleans.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): This biography of an unsung jazz great has the potential to be a exciting film, though the trailer does not quite show us that.

Peter J. Patrick (PP): Another week, another martial arts drama for those who are interested.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer does little to excite the audience and gives too little away about the plot to interest me.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): One should always anticipate a Zhang Yimou film, at least a little.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Zhang Yimou’s latest looks like another triumph of production design.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): It looks most elegant for a martial arts film and the director has made some outstanding films in the past, but the trailer just did not draw me in.
