	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): I didn’t want to see the first one. I don’t want to see the sequel. Peter J. Patrick (PP): At almost 3 hours, this is way too long for the second half of a story that could have concluded as part of the original, but will probably be a hit anyway. Thomas LaTourette (TL): Horror films are not my thing, and having not seen the first one, I have no desire to see this one.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): The potentially inspirational film could be worth my time. Peter J. Patrick (PP): This one about a fesity old lady starring a veteran TV actress has been kicking around film festivals for two years – it won’t fill too many theatre seats. Thomas LaTourette (TL): An older person deciding to go on an adventure has been done many times before, but it sounds like this one boasts a very good performance from Sheila Hancock who has mainly been a stage actress.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): The disjointed trailer doesn’t quite sell the film. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Films about death and dying don’t usually sell a lot of tickets or win a lot of awards – this one set in L.A.’s Koreantown doesn’t seem to be an exception. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The early reviews of this family drama are good, though the trailer does not bring that much excitement to the table.
