	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): The trailer wants to be clever, but isn’t as often as it needs to be. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Low rent actioner with nothing to recommend it. Thomas LaTourette (TL): Is he a space alien or just a homeless man telling tales? The trailer does not clarify nor make it that interesting, though it might be worth watching.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): It could be an interesting drama, but the trailer doesn’t quite sell it. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Festival hit looks like a strong family drama. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer does the film no favors, taking in interesting premise and then not giving us much to go by in a film about a husband, wife and daughter reunited after 17 years apart.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): I’m tired of seeing trailers for this character as they are beginning to all look the same. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Brace yourself, the year-old Ip Man 4: The Finale is yet to reach the U.S. Thomas LaTourette (TL): I have not seen any of these films, and this one looks no better than any of the others. The trailer gave me no reason to want to see it.

The Stand-In (Limited Release) See the original CinemaSight Trailer & Poster Preview	4.7 Wesley Lovell: (4) Peter J. Patrick: (5) Thomas LaTourrette: (5)	1.7 Wesley Lovell: (Nil) Peter J. Patrick: (5,Critics) Thomas LaTourrette: (Nil)	Categories: Actress (PP)
	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): The trailer wasn’t very funny, which makes me think this will be utterly forgettable. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Drew Barrymore’s first film in five years looks halfway decent with the actress in a dual role. (Editor’s Note: Award predictions are for the Golden Globes in the Comedy categories where applicable.) Thomas LaTourette (TL): A movie about a stand in taking over the star’s life could be promising, but a lame trailer with basically no laughs make me think this is one to skip.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): A forgettable trailer with good actors. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Relationship drama seems to be grounded by strong performances from Sienna Miller and Diego Luna. Thomas LaTourette (TL): I’m perplexed rather than intrigued by the trailer which is not a good sign. I have no idea what this is going to be about.

Wild Mountain Thyme (Limited Release) See the original CinemaSight Trailer & Poster Preview	5.7 Wesley Lovell: (5) Peter J. Patrick: (7) Thomas LaTourrette: (5)	2.3 Wesley Lovell: (Nil) Peter J. Patrick: (7,Critics) Thomas LaTourrette: (Nil)	Categories: Picture (PP) Actor (PP) Actress (PP) Supporting Actor (PP)
	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): The accents are distracting even if natural, but the premise doesn’t feel at all natural. Peter J. Patrick (PP): The man who wrote Moonstruck and wrote and directed Doubt is back with one of the year’s most anticipated comedies. (Editor’s Note: Award predictions are for the Golden Globes in the Comedy categories where applicable.) Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer tries for a warm Irish feeling but does not succeed. It feels tepid and hardly romantic.
