Looking at the Weekend

Perhaps having no strong challengers for the weekend has prompted everyone under the sun to release new pictures.

Consensus

Below is a list of what we have come to a general consensus on. The number in parens represents the percentage of our contributors who agree with the statement.

30 Minutes or Less: The film looks to lack really funny moments and for some the subject matter might be a bit too dark.
Final Destination 5: It is what it is. It will appeal to the same demographic that made producers believe a fifth film would still bring people out.
Glee: The 3D Concert Movie: Even fans of the series might not find much of excitement for this concert-to-screen event.
The Help: The early reception is positive, so it should be worth checking out.

Thoughts I’ll pass on this one, but if it turns out to be good, I might catch it on DVD.	Thoughts I’m sorry but a comedy based on a horrific real life incident is the last thing I want to see notwithstanding a recently Oscar nominated actor in the lead.	Thoughts The kind of stupid looking comedy that will go nowhere.	Thoughts

Thoughts I saw these when they were done on TV, so I have no real need to see them again until DVD.	Thoughts I love Glee the TV show but have no desire to see the actors in concert and even less of a desire to see them in 3D.	Thoughts The Emmys may inexplicably love this show, but this film will be forgotten come Oscar time.	Thoughts
