Summer-Fall 2017 Movie Preview

We've past the half of the month, which is probably a record for delaying this... So let's get it started until June's not totally over...

Recently released, "It Comes at Night" seems to be one of the best ranked horrors lately. The trailer doesn't say much, but from what it says it seems at least we don't have an overused subject... (=taking a break from ghost & evil spirits for once).

Changing with 180 degrees, we reach to "Despicable Me" episode 3. No other introduction needed...

"Shaun of the Dead", "Hot Fuzz" and "The World's End" have more in common than Simon Pegg. To be precise, also Edgar Wright, as director and co-writer. Going solo at the end of June with "Baby Driver". Let's see how much of the above is kept...

"Spiderman" comes home in July in the ... third version/actor in the last 15 years. Cash flow, nothing more to say...

"Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" is 2nd to my top of the list for this summer. Luc Besson didn't release a pure SciFi since "The Fifth Element". I don't expect to reach that level, but if we're at least up to where "Lucy" was I'm fine.

Talking about the fifth element, I didn't see Bruce Willis since quite a while in a decent movie. I'm not really expecting that from "First Kill" either, but let's wait and see...

My top of the list comes this August - "The Dark Tower". If it doesn't sound familiar already, in brief it's the magnum opus of Stephen King. What's left to be said is that what's released this year is most probably just the first part...

"Kidnap" is a thriller that looks relatively average. I don't know why though, but the trailer reminded me of "Taken" (well, in a lighter version :)...)

Finally, "Wind River" seems to be close to the top of the genre. It seems to me that Taylor Sheridan, who also wrote "Sicario" and "Hell or High Water", slowly becomes a sort of Alexander Payne, but for the thriller niche.

Next week, movie in the fall...
