After We Collided (Limited Release) See the original CinemaSight Trailer & Poster Preview	2.7 Wesley Lovell: (2) Peter J. Patrick: (2) Thomas LaTourrette: (4)	Nil Wesley Lovell: (Nil) Peter J. Patrick: (Nil) Thomas LaTourrette: (Nil)	Categories: None
	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): It looks like a cheap tween romantic drama that feels more abusive than sensible. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Sappy romance will not turn Ralph and Joseph Fiennes’ nephew into England’s next big thing. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer certainly does not make the characters interesting nor shows why we should care about them.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): The trailer suggests a rather commonplace concept, but one couldn’t help but be impressed by the talent involved. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Despite his dominance in the trailer, Mick Jagger is only in two scenes of what looks to be an overheated thriller. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer tries too hard to be mysterious and the reviews are not that kind, but it looks better than most films that have been released lately. I would see it.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): A lame comedy about getting old for thirtysomethings. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Lame looking comedy doesn’t appear to have much going for it. Thomas LaTourette (TL): I liked Gillian Jacobs in Community, but I am not sure that this comedy is good enough to help her in the movies. It looks cute but not much more than that.

Made in Italy (Limited Release) See the original CinemaSight Trailer & Poster Preview	5.0 Wesley Lovell: (3) Peter J. Patrick: (7) Thomas LaTourrette: (5)	Nil Wesley Lovell: (Nil) Peter J. Patrick: (Nil) Thomas LaTourrette: (Nil)	Categories: None
	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): This hackneyed story concept isn’t improved by the trailer, which makes it look like it’s trying too hard. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Another star from the Redgrave dynasty is born – great location and an acting showcase for Liam Neeson and his son Micheàl Richardson. Thomas LaTourette (TL): I have a feeling this will be a cliched father and son bonding film with lots of quirky projects as they try to fix up an old villa.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): It might be interesting, but the trailer does not convince anyone of that. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Internationally acclaimed Norwegian film from a celebrated novel could have been an arthouse hit in less scary times. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The premise makes it sound interesting, but a trailer that jumps back and forth in time without revealing much does it no favors.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): Looks to be a dull action thriller. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Looks like a routine and unappealing crime thriller. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer certainly does not sell the movie, and the heist premise behind it adds little excitement.

Thomas LaTourette (TL): I did not see the original film that this is a sequel to, and it just does not look like my type of film. I will pass.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): The trailer doesn’t do a bad job selling the film, it just feels overly familiar. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Heartless revenge drama looks like a wrong turn for comeback star Shia LaBeouf. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The movie looks unpleasant and I do not want to spend time with these people.
