The summer season in cinemas, which usually starts with May, is just around the corner, so let's take a quick look on the biggest movie treats which await us with the hot summer months. I must admit I find this cinematic summer rather boring and non creative. PS red letters are clickable links.
MAY - NORSE SUPER HEROES AGAINST PIRATES AND SF PRIESTS
May will bring us the long awaited super hero epic
THOR from
Kenneth Branagh in which
Chris Hemsworth plays a powerful warrior from the mystical realm of Asgard, ruled by
Anthony Hopkins, who comes down to Earth to stop the evil forces from invading Earth. Then there's also the visually breathtaking sf epic
PRIEST in which
Paul Bettany plays a futuristic priest who goes after the evil gang of vampires lead by
Karl Urban which kidnapped his niece. If you're a fan of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, the 4th part
ON STRANGER TIDES comes in May too with
Johnny Depp, Sam Claflin, Penelope Cruz and lots of mermaids. The end of May also brings
KUNG FU PANDA back in the sequel, but if you're in the mood for profound
dramas you might check out
THE TREE OF LIFE with
Brad Pitt and
THERE BE DRAGONS with
Dougray Scott and
Wes Bentley.
JUNE - MUTANTS AGAINST GREEN LANTERN AND PENGUINS
June will definitely be the month of super heroes, first with
X-MEN: FIRST CLASS with
James McAvoy and
Michael Fassbender, a retro look upon the youth of our favourite
mutants which will explain how Magneto and Professor Xavier became enemies and will also show us
January Jones as White Queen,
Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique and
Nicholas Hoult as Beast, followed by mesmerizing
GREEN LANTERN with
Ryan Reynolds about a brotherhood of intergalactic warriors sworn to keep peace and justice wearing green rings which give them super powers. June will also bring us
J.J.Abram's sf epic
SUPER 8 done in a retro style about a mysterious alien force which threatens to destroy little town in Ohio and
MR. POPPER'S PENGUINS in which
Jim Carrey has a growing family of the flightless birds which he tries to train to perform in a
traveling show.
JULY - CAPTAIN AMERICA VS COWBOYS, ALIENS, HARRY PLOPPER AND TRANSFORMERS
July will be the month of the biggest blockbusters with
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER in which
Chris Evans plays a super human created for US army in WW2,
COWBOYS AND ALIENS in which
Daniel Craig and
Harrison Ford will have to lead both cowboys and Native Americans against aliens who plan to tame the Old West and enslave everyone. July will also bring two big sequels:
TRANS FORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON in which
Shia Labeouf and
Josh Duhamel will use the help of powerful Autobots led by Optimus Prime against the evil Decepticons, who are determined to avenge their defeat from the first film. And there's also the epic finale of
HARRY PLOPPER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS with the all-out war between forces of good and evil. July also brings two adorable
films
FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS with
Justin Timberlake and
Mila Kunis, and
ONE DAY with
Anne Hathaway and
Jim Sturgess, and also the China set epic drama
SNOW FLOWER AND THE SECRET FAN with Hugh Jackman.
AUGUST - CONAN, THE LOST SMURFS, NAZI CRIMINALS AND SOME APES
Known usually as the dumpster place for less potential summer flicks, August will bring us some Barbaric action and scantily clad ladies and muscular hunks in the new
CONAN THE BARBARIAN with
Jason Momoa, Rachel Nichols and
Rose McGowan who will have to face the blue super power of
THE SMURFS who are coming to the big screens lost in the middle of Central Park.
August will also bring some remakes and reboots:
RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES with
James Franco and
FRIGHT NIGHT with
Colin Farrell and
Toni Collette in which a high school kid has to face a naughty and dashing vampire. We shall also watch
THE DEBT with
Sam Worthington and
Helen Mirren, an action movie about agents who are trying to catch notorious Nazi war criminals.
