Looking at the Weekend: Feb. 25-27, 2022

There are two wide release and neither are likely to be huge hits, but I would guess that Cyrano was likely to do the better of the two.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): Oscar-nominated Cyrano got the short shrift at this year’s awards. It’s one of the best films of the year. See it. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Nicley done musical version of the classic tale. Thomas LaTourette (TL): I think this should prove a good film and casting Peter Dinklage was masterful, but I wish they hadn’t waited so long to release it.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): A cheesy horror film with non-actor musicians doesn’t sound like the best idea. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Has an Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein vibe to it. Thomas LaTourette (TL): This is probably only for Foo Fighters fans as it looks pretty silly rather than scary.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): The trailer does absolutely nothing to make this film look palatable. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Chaotic trailer doesn’t do much to sell this minor comedy. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer tried way too hard to be weird and edgy which did not create any interest in me for seeing the movie.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): It looks like it could be a decent disaster film. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Norwegian disaster film looks like a tough sell. Thomas LaTourette (TL): One of the director’s previous disaster films was pretty entertaining so I feel this one might be as well.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): Outside of Naomi Watts’ performance, this doesn’t look like much of a movie. Peter J. Patrick (PP): White knuckle thriller looks like a showcase for Naomi Watts. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The premise sounds intriguing but the reviews make it sound like it misses the mark badly.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): We’ve seen so many similar films that it’s hard to build interest for this. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Shown at film festivals for 3 years, this Holocaust drama looks a cut above the routine. Thomas LaTourette (TL): I am not certain that the love story presented here will hold up to much scrutiny, but it might prove worthwhile.
