Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): It looks irreverant, which may be the only reason I have any interest in it. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Not sure Paul Verhoeven is the right director for this material, but he’s never boring, so maybe it’s better than it has a right to be. Thomas LaTourette (TL): It is always entertaining to watch Charlotte Rampling, and it sounds like she has a good role as the abbess. Whether the rest of the film is watchable may be a different matter, though it looks like it could be worthwhile.

Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): This looks poorly acted and unbelievably dumb. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Looks like nothing more than another quick paycheck job for Bruce Willis. Thomas LaTourette (TL): It looks like a typical Bruce Willis movie, though now he plays the villain rather than the hero, and it just does not look very good.

Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): The concept is overdone and the trailer doesn’t do enough to sell the film. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Quirky comedy is already nominated for several Gotham awards, so the sky could be the limit with this one. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The reviews are good, but the trailer did not make the case for wanting to spend more time with the main character, so I imagine I will pass on it.

Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): This The Lobster deviation doesn’t look that interesting. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Looks more like a filmed exercise for an acting class than an actual movie. Thomas LaTourette (TL): This just looks absurdly bad.
