 | Sully - This one looks pretty good, with the direction of Clint Eastwood and a lead acting role by Tom Hanks. Hanks has been amazing in just about every movie he has starred in, and Eastwood has a natural touch for directing. The film should also offer some interesting effects for the incredibly true story about the plane that landed in the Hudson. I expect that it will be pretty similar to Flight, but the acting and story should have some varying twists. Image credit: By Frederick J.

The Wild Life - It's been done before, leading me to believe that this film will be a stinker. Maybe kids will enjoy it, but the trailers look way too cheesy for my tastes. I doubt that the film will make much money, which is unfortunate for an animated film that probably took a few years to make. The only thing that looks relatively special about The Wild Life is the soundtrack, but the snippet of music in the trailer does not sound that great to me. Moana will probably have a much better soundtrack and storyline to accompany it.
 | Other People - This film has a good cast, but honestly I do not know much about it. Apparently it was well-received at Sundance, so that's a fortunate sign. Jesse Plemons, Zach Woods, and Molly Shannon are all underrated actors so I'm glad to see that they are falling into more indie roles. If you are as much of an indie film lover as I am, you probably want to check out this film over the weekend. No movie aside from Sully looks like it is worth spending money on anyways!
