Looking at the Weekend: Sep. 19-21, 2014

It’s going to be a tough competition this week between comedy This Is Where I Leave You and Liam Neeson’s A Walk Among the Tombstones. I suspect it will go down to the wire, but I’m giving a slight edge to the family comedy since there are so few comedies in the marketplace at present and Neeson can be hit-or-miss.

Individual Commentaries

Wesley Lovell: Kevin Smith is trying way too hard to stay relevant, Neeson’s film doesn’t look that great and This Is Where I Leave You has potential. On the limited side, there are a couple of films that could be good, but none that make me want to run out and see them.
Peter J. Patrick: Tusk looks reasonably interesting among the week’s new releases; the rest not so much.
Tripp Burton: A lot of interesting looking films this weekend, but I could also see them all being duds.
Thomas LaTourrette: (Editor’s Note: Thomas is out of town this week, so he will not be submitting data for today’s chart)
