While the usual, heavily publicized films make their way
into theaters this summer I’d like to point out a few lesser known films coming
out.
The Iceman (May 3) – Michael Shannon is great in everything.
He should become a household name after Man of Steel.
The East (May 31) – The trailer looks interesting. Could be
really good or incredibly bad. I’m a sucker for corporate espionage.
Much Ado About Nothing (June 7) – This is a movie
Whedonites. The cast is filled with actors from Buffy, Angel, Firefly and
Dollhouse. Don’t really care for Shakespeare, but I care a great deal for
Whedon.
The Bling Ring (June 14)
– I haven’t liked a single movie Sofia Coppola has made, but I loved Emma
Watson in Perks of Being a Wallflower. Seems to be in the same vein as Spring
Breakers. Lets hope for a better outcome.
The Way, Way Back (July 5) – I loved The Descendants.
(Written by the directors Faxon and Rash.) This looks just as good, and might
make a nice double feature with Adventureland.
R.I.P.D. (July 19) – This is a bigger release than the rest
of these, but I hadn’t even heard about it until a week ago. Seems similar to
MIB, and that’s not a bad thing. Funny that director Robert Schwentke is
opening against the sequel to his last movie, RED.
Elysium (August 9) – I think we’ll start hearing more about
this one as we get closer. I’ve been recommending District 9 since the first
trailer came out, and Elysium looks just as good. I was really hoping Neill
Blomkamp was going to direct Episode 7, but I didn’t have my hopes up too high.
May the Force be with you,
CHUD
