I'm not really a fan of summer releases since most of them are spectacle-laden stereotypes with bloated budgets and mindless plots. Ok, so that's a total generalization and harsh, but what can I say, it's not really my style. Thankfully, there are still some quality films that I can't wait to see. While most are set to come out this fall/winter, there are a few summer releases that will hopefully make up for Killers and The A-Team. I'll keep adding to the list as trailers are released.
NEVER LET ME GO (sept. 15)
Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightly star in this erie film about a mysterious English boarding school and the students who attend. The trailer makes me feel completely depressed and freaked out, which is weirdly a good thing when it comes to my trailer barometer. It's based on a critically acclaimed novel that is also next on my reading list.
SOMEWHERE (dec. 22)
Sofia Coppola's lastest film follows similar patterns to her past films, but that is far from a complaint. This also means another stellar soundtrack, this time created by her fiance Thomas Mars' band Phoenix. Even though the trailer doesn't give too much away plot-wise, i think it's perfect and highlights the themes and tone.
INCEPTION (july 16)
One of the only tent-pole movies on my list due to its impressive cast (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Leonardo Dicaprio, Ellen Page, Michael Cane, Cillian Murphy....) and director (Christopher Nolan). I still have no idea of what it's entirely about, but I have faith that it'll be easier to understand upon viewing even if leo had some troubles.
HARRY POTTER (nov. 19)
Come on, it's "the motion picture event of a generation."
