Movie Tarts: June 2011
My most anticipated movie of June 2011: Super 8 (06/10) - It's here! Finally! Since I saw the teaser trailer in the theaters 7 years ago, I've been so excited. (It feels like 7 years because "J. J. Aberg" decided to tease everyone like a year too early.) I suspect that this movie will be a modern ET, but with a scary alien. But the thing that makes me most excited about this movie is the big role of Coach Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler) from Friday Night Lights. (One of the best TV shows ever.) Congrats Coach!
My second most anticipated movie of June 2011: Page One: A Year Inside The New York Times (06/24) - This documentary is from the people who made Waiting for Superman, An Inconvenient Truth and Food, Inc. I loved two of those three. (Guess which, duh?) In a world where it feels like technology and the printed word are giant tectonic plates fighting for position, this film gives you a front row seat while the two clash.
X-Men: First Class (06/03) - Of all the different stories and sub-plots involved with the X-Men series, why in the world would they choose the boring history between Magneto and Xavier? Not only is it the most unexciting part of X-Men, but they have already explained it in previous movies. Those are my trepidations about this movie. But I think it will be exciting like X-Men Origins: Wolverine was, but I fear it will be the birth-child of X-Men 3, easily the worst of the series.
Beginners (06/03) - Since Brokeback Mountain, it feels like movies surrounding homosexual themes have "broke" (ha) into the mainstream. This indie-feeling drama starring Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer is about a man who has gone through some difficult relationships finds out his widowed father is gay. Also there is a dog that talks through subtitles.
Submarine (06/03) - Story of an adolescent teen who struggles with his identity. And girls.
Green Lantern (06/17) - I like Green Lantern. I like Ryan Reynolds. Why am I not really excited for this movie? It might be the over-saturation of super hero movies recently, or the fact that this movie was speculated about for so long. It's like when waiting for your name to be called at a restaurant and you're starving. By the time your name gets called, you aren't that hungry anymore.
Cars 2 (06/24) - I didn't really Cars 1, so I am not too excited for this unnecessary sequel. It was only slightly better than Up. (Don't agree with me? Bring it on in the comments!)
Bad Teacher (06/24) - The cast seems great and the story seems good, too. I like seeing Jason Segel in movies more. But I am just not attracted to this type of movie. Since it's rated-R, I have a feeling it is going to be overly raunchy. I'm just not going to be in the mood for that. (How can they release a rauncy flick AFTER The Hangover Part 2?) Also, I suggest watching this and then watching Waiting for Superman right after. (haha)
