Summer-Fall 2021 Movie Preview Part 1

I didn't watch any movie for something like three weeks, and I doubt I'll have time during next one. Which already doesn't look good, lacking other "drug" to bring balance to the mind while alternating between a critical deadline + some neverending dental issues. So I told myself to at least deal with the mid-year traditional entries, short format, and check what looks promising for this summer-fall season.

In June, "Monuments" is a release that seems to get a bit out from the box-office summer hits area, where typically we have lots of actions and explosions and the subject is very thin. I'm not really fond of comedies either, especially when there's a romantic angle, but apparently my subconscious won this round...

"The Green Knight" is telling an episode from the Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table saga. It's an episode that in its original version, unlike others, has a less dramatic ending, which makes it somehow less promissing for screen if you stick to the classic story. But, as in many other cases, the movie might change the story a bit... We'll see in July.

I was thinking to let the summer pass without referring to anything in the comics/super-hero area that moved, for a while already, from overrated to hyperrated, or whatever's worse than that. There are though some small exceptions, and the most notable is James Gunn who managed to make "Guardians of the Galaxy" (both 1 and 2) to stand out, comparing with the classic Marvel pattern. It's just something different. Maybe we'll see this in August also for DC Comics in the reboot of "The Suicide Squad".

Lasam toamna pe data viitoare. Cand o fi asta...
