10. Cars (June 9)
What can be said about Pixar that hasn’t already been said? They’ve returned animation to the forefront of American cinema and done so by breaking new ground through visuals and storytelling. Pixar always makes quality films and while I wasn’t crazy about Finding Nemo, The Incredibles is one of my favorite films. This summer’s Pixar flick looks more Nemo then Incredibles as we follow a race car’s journey to self discovery. The previews haven’t shared much but it’s still worthy of a look this summer especially if you know a little one you can bring along.
9. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (August 4)
Every summer we’ve come to expect a Will Ferrell comedy that may not be a great movie but at the very least adds three or four classic lines/scenes to our cultural lexicon. Last year we got Bewitched which did neither but we did get a small dose of Will in Wedding Crashers that almost satisfied our needs. This summer is a return to form, as Ferrell works with his Anchorman co-writer/director Adam McKay to take on the story of a NASCAR driver. The trailer looks funny. The cast looks stellar with John C. Reilly making a support turn. Judd Apatow is producing and one assumes also did a little rewrite on the script. All these factors point to a fun sexy time on the speedway.
