We already discussed Life Itself and Deliver Us From Evil, here at Film Inquiry. Is a documentary about a movie critic something you’d be interested in seeing? As for Deliver Us From Evil, the expectations are pretty high… We’re curious to see that one.
What about Tammy? Tammy looks fairly obnoxious and the trailer suggests an over-the-top ridiculous movie, but who knows this movie might actually be fun.
And wow: Earth to Echo looks awesome! It’s like a modern ET… It features mostly kids, and a little machine-like alien, thing. At first I thought it would be pretty much a kids film, but the end of the trailer promises the movie will be more than that: a pretty spiffy sci-fi thriller, just featuring kids. And I must say, from what we see in the trailer, I’m pretty impressed with their performances. I think I’ll have to see this one.
So how about you: do any of these appeal to you – which would you see in cinema, which would you see at home – or not at all?
