There isn’t a lot of competition, which makes the task of hitting number one at the box office all the more easy. That’s especially true when a supernatural horror flick like The Curse of La Llorona is releasing wide.

Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): This looks like religioius claptrap to me. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Looks like a sincere, albeit heavy-handed religious drama. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The film looks too treacly for me and was trying to get its message across way too loudly.

Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): This has likely already been done better in March of the Penguins, so what’s the point? Peter J. Patrick (PP): I have a soft spot for penguins. Thomas LaTourette (TL): It may prove to be interesting, but half the trailer is about other Disney films which doesn’t feel like a good sign.

Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): Might be interesting, but it’s hard to tell from the trailer. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Could be a thoughtful melodrama about girl power. Thomas LaTourette (TL): Other films have handled people with extra powers, though this one tries to make them more human than most.

Wesley Lovell (WL): There’s not a lot to this trailer that looks relatively pedestrian. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Dullish looking drug drama. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The film puts a human face on drug trafficking and the reasons why someone might try it. It could be an interesting film.

Original Song (TL)
Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): The song presented in the trailer is superb and it gives me hope for a rare, quality original musical. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Subway set musical long in gestation doesn’t look very appealing. Thomas LaTourette (TL): I am always interested in an original musical, though this trailer did not give away any of the plot of the film.
