Looking at the Weekend: Sep. 27-29, 2019

A new animated feature from DreamWorks should be just what the September box office needs. The likelihood of the film performing well and topping the box office is pretty good even if Downton Abbey has a solid hold over.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): It looks like an interesting if familiar production. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Martial arts comedy with an unusual title for the genre looks OK at best. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The critics make this sound like it is more than a typical violent comedy from Japan, but I am dubious.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): It looks like a film trying too hard to be edgy. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Looks really bizarre, but Fatih Akin’s films are always interesting, so just maybe it works. Thomas LaTourette (TL): There is a little interest in the trailer, but I am not fond of serial killer films in general and this is getting slammed by the critics.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): It looks like a compelling look at the late-life of one of Hollywood’s legends. Peter J. Patrick (PP): A surefire Oscar contender for Best Actress and a wild card contender for Best Picture. Thomas LaTourette (TL): Renee Zellwegger would not have leaped to mind to play Judy Garland, but she dominates the trailers and should easily get an Oscar nomination for her gutsy protrayal.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): It looks like an unimpressive and uninteresting island adventure. Peter J. Patrick (PP): On a desert island with horror. At least the locale is different. Thomas LaTourette (TL): I am not sure what the film is trying to be, but it looks unpleasant.
