Now that Oscar season is over, we are crossing over into that epic time of year where the most creative and insightful movies are hitting the Silver screen. These movies are so indepth and really cause you to think passionately and reflectively about your life....Ok, I'm obviosuly kidding here people. Summer movies are starting to hit theatres, and do you know what that means? It means movies about a gecko or lizzard or whatever the heck Rango is, wearing a cowboy hat and riding around "town." To be honest, I don't really know what that movie is about, nor do I care to find out.
While not every movie can make you want to think in-depth thoughts about your pathetic life, or want to change who you are and finally pursue that dream you have been meaning to tackle for your entire life; not every movie has to be plain old stupid either. But that's where summer movies come in. While some perfectly serve their purpose as being entertaining during the months when no one has anything to do but go to the movies and watch films that are just 'entertaining', some are just downright durmb- such as Gnomeo and Juliet. Really? A movie about a love story between GARDEN GNOMES? Do kids really go for this stuff these days?
Apart from these epically horrible films, there are some that could definitely be entertaining and maybe even a little bit good. Some movies that I am looking forward to seeing this summer are Soul Surfer (who doesn't want to see an inspirational story about a girl who overcame her fear of the water after getting her arm bitten off by a shark and return to be an award-winning surfer?) and even Scream 4 (I've been waiting 8 years for this one to come out.)
The summer is quickly approaching and if the non-challant, passe movies at the box-office aren't a clue to how the summer mood is sneaking into the atmosphere, then maybe you should step outside because it is 75 degrees and gorgeous.
Until next time, get yourself some lemonade, sunglasses and sit your movie-watching butt outside.
