The Hunger Games‘ reign is about to come to an end as Ridley Scott’s Bible epic Exodus: Gods and Kings competes for box office dollars. The film’s success depends entirely on attendance from church groups as I don’t think it’s going to be too big of a cross-demographic hit.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: Inherent Vice is the only new film this weekend that I’m very interested in seeing. Exodus might be ok, but it also has disaster written all over it.
Peter J. Patrick: Magician: The Astonishing Work of Orson Welles, opening in limited release, is the only film I’d venture out to see this week. Six Dace Lessons in Six Weeks might be amusing enough to catch on DVD, as might Top Five and Inherent Vice, but the week’s only wide release, in which Ridley Scott mimics Cecil B. DeMille, thrills me not.
Tripp Burton: A lot of big awards contenders are coming out this week, although some look better than others.
Thomas LaTourrette: Inherent Vice sounds like the most interesting of the releases, though it has gotten rather uneven reviews. Hopefully, Exodus will be better than Noah, but I am not sure about that.
