Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): This looks disappointingly unfunny, especially from a studio like DreamWorks. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Might be fun for kids and hopefully not too tiresome for their elders. Thomas LaTourette (TL): It seems a perfect fit for Alec Baldwin, though the early reviews of this animated film find it lacking. Pity as it could have been fun.

Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): I’m not a fan of the original anime, so I don’t have a lot of interest in seeing this. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Looks like one comic book adaptation too many. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer does not do a great job of interesting me in this Scarlett Johansson thriller so I will wait for reviews to see if there is enough to interest me in seeing this.

Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): It could be interesting, but the trailer isn’t sufficient. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Chinese murder mystery might be worth checking out. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer makes it look a bit like Pi with chase scenes, so I am not certain what the film will be like. The use of different sized images in the trailer did add visual interest.

Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): It seems like these kinds of films come out at least once a week. Peter J. Patrick (PP): South Korean thriller looks like it might be fun. Thomas LaTourette (TL): Interesting concept, but it looks like it will be more violent than believable.

Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): This could be better than expected and Jessica Chastain is always noteworthy, but the story sounds a tad formulaic. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Decent looking Holocaust drama. Thomas LaTourette (TL): At the urging of his wife, the zookeeper hides Jewish refugees in the zoo. It should be gripping, but it sounds like the movie does not live up to the story.
Although the reviews aren’t great, The Boss Baby is likely to be the week’s top newcomer, though Beauty and the Beast will still top the charts.
