Welcome all to my annual summer movie preview. While most previews focus on what will make the most money or what the mindless masses will flock too (seriously America, Hancock…WTF?), my focus centers on what gets me juiced enough to forego the sun and run inside to an air conditioned theater. With the expected birth of my offspring this summer I’m not sure what I’ll get to see so I had to put a lot of thought into this one.
10. Year One (June 19)
Like most of you I came down with a severe Jack Black hangover last year. Nacho Libre all but made me swear off the court jester. Then came Tropic Thunder where I was reminded of just how funny this man can be when paired with equally talented folks. Year One has me excited as Black is teamed with Michael Cera and directed by comedy god Harold Ramis. The Super Bowl preview was kinda ho hum but the new one looks better and the pedigree is all there on this one.
9. The Brothers Bloom (May 15)
Director Rian Johnson blew me away with his debut flick Brick back in 2005. Now comes his second picture with a bigger budget and cast. Mark Ruffalo and Adrien Brody star as two con men brothers and Rachel Weiss joins in on the fun. A definite departure in tone for Johnson but not in style. The trailer below shows that his artistry behind the camera continues to grow and this time we get plenty of laughs too.
