WIDE RELEASES
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON	THE MATERIALISTS	THE UNHOLY TRINITY

How to Train Your Dragon

Wesley Lovell: I love the animated films but this seems misguided. If it turns out to be better than expected I might give it a try.

Pete Patrick: Live action version of the animated classic looks surprisingly good.

Thomas La Tourrette: It looks okay, but I am not certain why they felt a need to make a live action version of it.

The Materialists

Wesley Lovell: The cast is great but the trailers have been terrible.

Pete Patrick: This is a sappy looking comedy despite coming from Past Lives director Celine Strong.

Thomas La Tourrette: The charm of the leads will carry it so far, but not sure if it will make it to the finish line.

The Unholy Trinity

Wesley Lovell: A good modern western might be worth seeing. This isn’t one.

Pete Patrick: A not too compelling looking western from a director with a bad track record.

Thomas La Tourrette: It looks like a mediocre western.

LIMITED RELEASES
DIABLO	THE DOGS	TATAMI

The Limited Slate

Wesley Lovell: Only Tatami seems vaguely interesting to me.

Pete Patrick: I might want to watch the Iranian sports drama, Tatami at home but the other two are definite no’s.

Thomas La Tourrette: Of these three, only Tatami, a political sports thriller, might be worth seeing. Diablo looks to be a bad thriller and The Dogs a poorly made horror film, both are hard passes.
