Wesley Lovell (WL): As a fan of the first few films, the franchise declined tremendously in later years with an occasional blip. This reboot/sequel doesn’t have enough information out there in order to judge whether it’s another waste of time or a return to form.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): I thought these tasteless Saw movies were a thing of the past. Sorry to see they’re not.
Tripp Burton (TB): Shockingly, I’ve never seen any of the Saw movies. I don’t think this is the one that will change that.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): It’s not my type of film, and nothing about the trailer entices me to go.

Wesley Lovell (WL): George Clooney’s period comedy should be a nice distraction.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): A mid-level Coen Bros. comedy directed by George Clooney that they liked in Venice, but not Toronto. Hmmm.
Tripp Burton (TB): I know that the word from the festivals isn’t good, but with this pedigree, I still want to check this out.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer is confusing but entertaining, but the reviews make it sound like a total misfire.

Wesley Lovell (WL): I have little interest in this film.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Strong PTSD narrative may make this an important film, but will audiences make it another American Sniper size hit?
Tripp Burton (TB): This is not my sort of film at all.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): Another film of a vet dealing with PTSD upon his return. It could be good, but the trailer left me cold.

Wesley Lovell (WL): It just doesn’t look as interesting as it wants to.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Old-fashioned woman’s film looks like the dregs of the genre as restored sight allows wife to really “see” her husband.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks very bizarre, but it might be bizarre enough that makes it worth checking out.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer tries to be too arty and dispels the eeriness and unease that the film hopes to project.

Amityville: The Awakening

• None

Wesley Lovell (WL): There is no reason for this film to exist and that it’s been pushed off for over a year suggests it’s not worth your time.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): This thing was filmed at least 3 years ago. It should have gone straight to video. Time to burn the house and the franchise.
Tripp Burton (TB): Another horror series that seems to be going on too long.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): I’ve never seen any of the Amityville films, and I am certainly not starting with this one.

Crash Pad

Wesley Lovell (WL): This looks like a painfully unfunny, sexist comedy.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Released on iTunes a month ago, this low-level comedy has probably already been seen by anyone who cares about it.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks abysmal, and I don’t say that lightly.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): It might actually be funny. The leads work well with each other and the dialogue seems good, but I am still worried that it will be just another people behaving badly film.

The Divine Order

• Foreign Film (WL,PP,TL)

Wesley Lovell (WL): A fascinating premise and a potential Oscar contender make for an interesting option.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Swiss entry in the Oscar race looks intriguing – who knew Swiss women were still fighting for the right to vote in 1971?
Tripp Burton (TB): Sometimes it’s nice to remember that they make these treacly films in all languages.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): This look at Switzerland’s late entry into women’s right should be good if not terribly groundbreaking.

Félicité

• Foreign Film (WL)

Wesley Lovell (WL): The film looks a little dire, which won’t mean that it’s a bad film, but without an Oscar nomination, I can’t muster enough interest to watch it anytime soon.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Looks like a compelling, if depressing, look at life in modern Congo. Worth catching up with on home video.
Tripp Burton (TB): I haven’t seen enough African cinema, and this looks like an interesting film to help delve into.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): Life in Kinshasa looks bleak for Félicité, but the striking images of life there could make for an interesting film.

• Supporting Actress (WL,PP,TL)

Wesley Lovell (WL): Not a fan of this type of film, but it’s gotten solid early notices, so it might be worth it.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Melissa Leo as a vey bad nun seems to be the saving grace of this film that appears to be based on the first part of The Nun’s Story.
Tripp Burton (TB): I hadn’t heard anything about this, but it looks very interesting.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): A fierce portrayal by Melissa Leo leads this film about life in the church and ability or inability to adapt to change. It looks pretty good.

• Foreign Film (WL,TB,TL)

Wesley Lovell (WL): There’s something about this comedy that seems most interesting, but the trailer is too confusing at times and a let down at others.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): They gave it the top prize at Cannes, but that doesn’t mean American audiences will like it. It looks kind of silly.
Tripp Burton (TB): The current Palme d’Or winner looks like a must-see.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): I don’t get the trailer, but early reviews have made it sound like something worth seeing.
