Wesley Lovell (WL): The premise combined with the trailer make for a film that looks most entertaining.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Bland looking WWII espionage drama of the sort that went out of fashion decades ago.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks a little cliched, but it also looks elegant and with two attractive stars should be worth checking out.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): It looks like an old-fashioned spy thriller with a good looking cast and beautiful sets and costumes, what is not to like.

Wesley Lovell (WL): The first film was surprisingly hilarious. I’m hoping the sequel can stand up well against that.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): The 2003 original was comic genius, but thirteen years later the bloom is off the rose.
Tripp Burton (TB): I love the first film, which has quickly become a Cult Christmas Classic, so I can’t wait to see them revisit the world.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): I did not see the original, and this has no appeal for me whatsoever.

Wesley Lovell (WL): The trailers have left me cold, thought it’s Disney, so I’ll catch it. I mean, I even saw Home on the Range in theaters, so even if it were bad, it couldn’t be remotely THAT bad.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Highly anticipated Disney feature from the creators of Frozen with a score co-written by Hamilton‘s Lin-Manuel Miranda seems unbeatable.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks like another Disney hit, who have been on a roll as of late.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): I am always up for a good animated film, and this sounds like it fits the bill with fun characters and probably good songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Wesley Lovell (WL): Apart from the period Hollywood interest and the appealing leads, the film doesn’t look nearly as exciting as it did when I first saw the trailer.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Warren Beatty’s widely hyped return looks like one Howard Hughes biopic too many after Melvin and Howard and The Aviator.
Tripp Burton (TB): It is good to see Warren Beatty back in action, and you can never discount him as an interesting filmmaker at least.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): Everything looks pretty in the trailer, but this take on Howard Hughes just did not seem that exciting.

Wesley Lovell (WL): The trailer does not impress.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Low budget thriller looks intriguing.
Tripp Burton (TB): This doesn’t really look like my cup of tea, but it could be interesting.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer tries for a David Lynch vibe, but it does not really catch it. I think I will pass on this one.

Wesley Lovell (WL): There isn’t anything about this film that seems like it’s worth watching.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Nothing in the trailer for this pretentious looking French horror movie makes me want to see it.
Tripp Burton (TB): This seems like a well-made horror film, but I’m not going to rush out to see it
Thomas LaTourette (TL): A visually arresting trailer makes this look creepy, but gives little of the plot away.

Wesley Lovell (WL): A low-budget sci-fi film that doesn’t sound like it has a solid premise is unlikely to be worth seeing.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Low budget man vs. machine horror movie holds no interest for me.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks generic.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): A rogue robot army battling marines, it does not look original or good.

Wesley Lovell (WL): As much as people have said it’s good, the whole concept doesn’t appeal to me.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Compelling family drama with a big push from the Weinstein Company should secure this one several places on the Oscar shortlist.
Tripp Burton (TB): This should be one of our most highly competitive Oscar films this year, and it looks like it may be worthy of competing.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): A lost child uses Google Earth to track down where he came from. It would sound unbelievable if it was not true, but it sounds like a good film with strong performances.

Wesley Lovell (WL): Apart from Jessica Chastain, the trailers make this look like you standard political drama.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Political thriller counter to the current climate in Washington will either bring great rewards or immediate dismissal.
Tripp Burton (TB): I love Jessica Chastain, and this looks like a great vehicle for her.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): Jessica Chastain is always worth watching, but this Washington DC-set potboiler looks a little full of itself to be believable.
