• Animated Feature (WL,PP,TB,TL)

Wesley Lovell (WL): The film doesn’t look that appealing to me, but it could be better than expected.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Looks to be one of the year’s better animation features.
Tripp Burton (TB): I love the Peanuts, and even if this doesn’t look up to par with their older stuff, I’m still excited to see it.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): It looks fairly cute, though it is hard to imagine that it will be much better than the television features we get to see for free.

Wesley Lovell (WL): My only real interest in this film is that it’s part of a franchise I like. The last film almost put me off the franchise and early notices don’t strike me as a good sign.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): The latest Bond adventure should be interesting.
Tripp Burton (TB): I wasn’t as excited about Skyfall as everyone else, but this could still be a strong Bond entry.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): Daniel Craig has been a good Bond, so this should be a better than average shoot-em-up with unbelievable special effects.

Wesley Lovell (WL): Not much else looks incredibly good this year, but this one has a lot of promise.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Advance word on the film began with Sundance last January and has been building ever since. It should be a big player in this year’s Oscar race.
Tripp Burton (TB): This could be a major Oscar player, and I’m excited to see it.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): This looks like a lovely period piece of a young Irish woman’s move to America, a job and a possible boyfriend. Saorise Ronan is said to be spectacular in the lead. It looks like a winner.

Wesley Lovell (WL): Looks dreadfully pretentious.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Good cast looks wasted in David Lynch-lite atmosphere.
Tripp Burton (TB): I’m not really sure what to make of this…
Thomas LaTourette (TL): It is billed as an existential comedy, but nothing about it makes me want to go see a film about the life of an obnoxious comedian.

Miss You Already

• None

Wesley Lovell (WL): Reason enough to see it is Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): The next generation Beaches – looks lame.
Tripp Burton (TB): Not my thing, but it looks well-made enough to be worth checking out.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): A best-friends comedy where one life is going well and the other has medical problems. Seen this before and probably better.

Wesley Lovell (WL): One of the year’s most anticipated movies and one of the year’s top Oscar contenders.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): A critical success through the film festivals – should be a major awards magnet.
Tripp Burton (TB): I can’t wait for this, supposedly one of the frontrunners for a lot of awards this season.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): This seemingly has become the front runner for the Best Picture Oscar and the story of the Boston Globe exposing the priest scandal looks to be an interesting film.

• Foreign Film (PP)

Wesley Lovell (WL): The concept isn’t strong enough for me to want to see it.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Arab-based Best Foreign Film contender looks interesting.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks interesting, but I will wait to watch it at home.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): Especially for a first feature, it is getting very good early reviews. It looks like it could be a very good coming of age story.

Wesley Lovell (WL): Based on discredited information and looking rather uninspired, the cast is the only reason I have any deasire to see this.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): What might have been something special looks to be dumbed down to half-heated satire.
Tripp Burton (TB): Some shameless awards chasing going on here, and the film doesn’t look up to snuff.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): This looks like it could be an interesting film as Trumbo was quite a character during an interesting if disturbing time in our country’s history. It should be Oscar bait, but it feels like it is flying under the radar.
