Summer Movies 2. 01. Most Anticipated Films. Summer movie season is upon us, and this year, there's something for everyone: You want Rihanna as an extraterrestrial exotic dancer? You want Charlize Theron beating the living daylights out of everyone in her path? You want Zac Efron's impossibly chiseled abs?
You got those, too. As the days lengthen and the beach days beckon, here are the movies we're most excited to see this summer. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
May 5)This summer’s first superhero offering finds Marvel’s galaxy- hopping spacefarers dealing with family drama: The sibling rivalry between Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Nebula (Karen Gillan) still threatens to erupt into violence and Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) is finally working out his daddy issues with his actual factual bio- dad (Kurt Russell). Come for dancing Baby Groot, stay for dancing Baby Groot. Snatched (May 1. 2)Goldie Hawn returns to the big screen for the first time in 1. Amy Schumer, for a mother- daughter comedy written by Ghostbusters reboot scribe Katie Dippold. Schumer’s Emily, a variation on the petulant woman- child she often plays in her stand- up and sketches, so fully captures the worst qualities of the ignorant American tourist on a South American holiday that when the pair gets kidnapped, you can’t help but think they kind of deserve it.
Alien: Covenant (May 1. Ridley Scott returns with the sixth installment in the Alien franchise and the follow- up to 2. Prometheus. In this one, a colony ship (with Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston and Billy Crudup onboard) arrives in pristine, uncharted territory.
They soon find, of course, that they’re not particularly welcome there. In Stella Meghie’s adaptation of Nicola Yoon’s teen romance novel, she plays a young woman, confined to her home by a rare illness, who falls for the oddball hunk next door (Nick Robinson). Baywatch (May 2. 5)If all you want from a movie is the chance to see Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron face off in an epic battle of muscle- rippling lifeguardian feats — and we don’t blame you if you do — this reboot has you covered. Helmed by Patty Jenkins (who directed Charlize Theron to an Oscar in Monster), the origin story is not only a chance for Warner Bros. Supermanand Suicide Squad, but an opportunity to shut down the idea that moviegoers won’t pay to see the fate of humanity resting in the hands of a woman. Dean (June 2)Comedian Demetri Martin’s directorial debut is a disarming and sweetly funny exploration of grief and new love at different phases of life. In parallel stories, Martin’s Dean and his father Robert (Kevin Kline) pursue new relationships while still reeling from the loss of the central woman in their lives, Dean’s mother and Robert’s wife.
My Cousin Rachel (June 9)This moody period romance stars Rachel Weisz as a widow whose mysterious motives for seducing Sam Claflin’s naive young gentleman serve up a steamy slice of drama. Based on the novel by Rebecca author Daphne du Maurier, it’s the second adaptation of My Cousin Rachel — the first, in 1. Olivia de Havilland and Richard Burton. The Mummy (June 9)The franchise that keeps on giving (since 1. Tom Cruise to the mix. Trailers released to date have featured Cruise screaming his face off as his plane plummets earthwards, waking up naked in a body bag, and running, crawling, swimming and jumping away from very bad, scary things. It Comes at Night (June 9)With last year’s arresting micro- budget family drama Krisha, Trey Edward Shults cemented his status as a director to watch.
This summer he returns with a psychological horror film about a family and the refuge seekers they take in, all terrorized by a vague, supernatural threat. You might need to watch this one with the lights on.
Rough Night (June 1. Fans who can’t wait for the next season of Broad City can get a fix, in the meantime, with the big- screen debut of writer- director Lucia Aniello. Co- written with her real- life partner Paul W. Downs (who plays Trey in Broad City), the comedy follows a group of friends (Scarlett Johansson, Zo. Starring newcomer (and eerie Tupac doppelg. In it, Midnight Special's Jaeden Lieberher plays a genius kid who hatches a plan to help the suffering girl next door, with the help of his single mother (Naomi Watts).
Maudie (June 1. 6)Sally Hawkins charms (as usual) in this true story about Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis, who despite a difficult life — she suffered great pain from rheumatoid arthritis — channeled joy and whimsy into her paintings of animals and the Nova Scotian landscape. Ethan Hawke co- stars as her taciturn fisherman husband, whose traditional values gradually give way to allow for a more modern, if unconventional, partnership. The Big Sick (June 2.
Silicon Valley’s Kumail Nanjiani co- wrote this romantic- comedy- slash- medical- drama, a Sundance hit, with his wife, Emily Gordon, about the inauspicious start to their real- life relationship: he keeps his white girlfriend a secret from his Pakistani Muslim family, she falls mysteriously ill and is put into a medically- induced coma, much confusion ensues. Starring opposite Zoe Kazan, Nanjiani proves himself a magnetic leading man we’re sure to see more from. Hi-Def Condemned (2015) Movie. The Beguiled (June 2. Sofia Coppola brings her singular vision to the second adaptation of Thomas P. Cullinan’s Civil War- set novel — the first starred Clint Eastwood in 1. Union soldier (Colin Farrell) is taken in by an all- girls boarding school in Mississippi. Seduction, jealousy and bloody nightgowns follow.
Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning co- star as the soldier's conflicted saviors. Okja (June 2. 8)South Korean director Bong Joon- ho brings his first movie since 2. Snowpiercer straight to Netflix. The story centers on a little girl (Seohyun An) whose best friend — a mysterious, giant creature named Okja — is threatened by a mysterious, giant multinational corporation. Tilda Swinton, who also starred in Snowpiercer, stars alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Paul Dano. Baby Driver (June 2.
Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. The head- spinning chase scenes will dazzle even action skeptics and the soundtrack will blare from car speakers all summer long. The House (June 3. Amy Poehler and Will Ferrell team up for a comedy about two parents who, having totally spaced on saving for their daughter’s college education, start an underground casino with a buddy (Jason Mantzoukas). The plan, of course, is as poorly considered as their financial planning up to that point, and hijinks ensue. Spider- Man: Homecoming (July 7)After making his debut in Captain America: Civil War, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker gets the feature- length treatment in what looks to be a hybrid superhero- high school movie (fitting, given that Stan Lee created the web- slinger to meet the high teenage demand for comic books). Marisa Tomei plays Aunt May and Michael Keaton stars as Spider- Man’s nemesis (this time around, at least), Vulture.
A Ghost Story (July 7)If superhero movies aren’t your speed, perhaps you’d like to watch the ghost of Casey Affleck walk around under a sheet with two eye holes, silently observing the world he’s left behind? Writer- director David Lowery’s film about a ghost stuck in his home even after his partner (Rooney Mara) moves away is one of the most provocative, meditative movies in this summer’s slate. Girls Trip (July 2. Welcome to your summer raunch- fest: co- written by Black- ish showrunner Kenya Barris and 1. Things I Hate About You scribe Karen Mc. Cullah, this story about four college friends (Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, Regina Hall and scene- stealer Tiffany Haddish) reuniting for a weekend in the Big Easy features bathroom and bedroom humor galore.
Maya Rudolph, take heed: it’s also got a scene to rival Bridesmaids’ infamous mid- crosswalk wedding dress fiasco. Chris Teague, Courtesy of Sundance Institute Landline (July 2.
Writer- director Gillian Robespierre, writer- producer Elisabeth Holm and actor Jenny Slate, the team behind the charming 2.
The best movies of 2. Every summer, The A. V. Club offers an unranked list of the best movies to be released theatrically (and, going forward, on major streaming platforms) during the first half of the year. It’s meant to be a kind of catch- up guide, a way for readers to keep pace with the year in film and start checking off significant titles before the mad rush of awards season. Still, even getting through this inventory of 2. That’s why we’ve gone ahead and narrowed it down further this year by prefacing each movie with a reason to watch, in the hopes that this may help the cinema- starved make a more educated selection. We’ve also, to the best of our abilities, identified how and where you can see each of the films.
Watch it if. But the writer- director’s work has always been worth more than the sum of its punchlines, and with the blissfully cool Baby Driver, he pushes his gift for delirious genre mashup out of a strictly comedic framework, where it can really fly. Wright casts YA poster boy Ansel Elgort as a getaway driver who floods his constantly ringing ears with a nearly unbroken stream of music—a choice that allows Wright to stage every feverish rush- hour escape or chaotic gunfight as a synchronized pop- radio extravaganza. It’s a gearhead crime caper with a jukebox musical under its hood, and Wright’s refusal to settle on any one section of the veritable video store allows him to swipe pleasures from a bunch of them—including, yes, comedy. It’s the brainchild of comedian Kumail Nanjiani and his wife, Emily V. Gordon, who worked elements of their real- life romance into the screenplay and then handed it off to Wet Hot American Summer’s Michael Showalter.
All the same, Apatow’s influence—as hands- on producer of the film and as one of the remaining big voices of American comedy—is all over this appealing cross- cultural love story. It’s there in the focus on the backstage personalities of the stand- up scene, in the volume of funny supporting players crowded around the edges of the plot, and also, admittedly, in the film’s extended runtime. But it’s been years since anyone, Apatow included, captured the precise, magic mixture of hilarity and humane character study that defines his best work; much more so than Trainwreck, The Big Sick demonstrates that sticking a distinct comic voice at the center of these conventions can still be a recipe for crowd- pleasing success. All the same, it’s diabolically fun to pretend that The Blackcoat’s Daughter is actually a genre- jumping spinoff of one of the most acclaimed TV shows of the decade. Remember how Sally Draper spent the last couple seasons of Mad Men away at boarding school?
Well, Blackcoat drops Kiernan Shipka, the young actress who played Sally, into a nearly identical academic setting. When no one comes to pick her up for holiday break (classic Don move), Shipka’s character falls under the influence of an unholy force. Or does she? It wouldn’t take too big of a mental leap to deduce that poor Sally, after years of repressed traumatic events (catching her father cheating, confronting a burglar), just totally snapped.
Of course, one might hope for a brighter future for the eldest Draper kid than the strangely, powerfully sad denouement Perkins cooked for his terrific inaugural creepshow. Giant- monster action aside, the film works on multiple allegorical levels: There’s an obvious metaphor about the destructive nature of addiction, and a less obvious one about toxic masculinity. That all sounds awfully heavy, but Vigalondo blends pathos and humor with characteristic idiosyncrasy, and his empathetic experiment is buoyed by Hathaway and co- star Jason Sudeikis’ barroom banter. The sharp, empathetic indie drama From Nowhere—cannily released in February, at the height of outrage regarding Trump’s travel ban—tells the story of three high school students who are in the U. S. The film doesn’t pretend there are easy answers to this complex issue, and isn’t remotely interested in scoring points via exaggerated virtue or malevolence. Rather, it offers a realistic, only slightly cynical portrait of a system that rescues some people and fails others, observing that no case file can convey life’s sheer messiness.
In detailing the creeping and increasingly justified paranoia that a young black man (Daniel Kaluuya) feels when visiting the family of his white girlfriend (Allison Williams), Peele works in a different key than his past comedy sketches with Keegan- Michael Key, but his sensibility remains. The movie’s laughs never feel out of place, because Peele recognizes that comedy and horror have common ground in the catharsis they can provide.
The laughs supply their own jolts of uncomfortable recognition before and after the horror confirms the movie’s worst fears. Roberto Dur. Chuck Wepner.
Is there a famous or even semi- famous prizefighter who hasn’t seen his highs and lows thrown up on the big screen over the past few years? The problem with these fact- based sports dramas is that they tend to make real life look as contrived as a Rocky sequel. But The Happiest Day In The Life Of Olli M. It’s a charming character study, one as hilariously disinterested in glory as the sweet lug at its center.
And for those who have gone multiple rounds with the tired “inspirational” clich. An ex- convict (Ichi The Killer’s Tadanobu Asano) shows up on the doorstep—or technically, at the garage entrance—of an old friend, Toshio (Kanji Furutachi), who welcomes the down- on- his- luck man to work in his workshop and sleep in the home he shares with his wife (Mariko Tsutsui) and young daughter (Momone Shinokawa). As the whole family warms to this quiet face from the past, words like “low- key” and “humane” and even “lovely” may seem apropos. That is the not the movie we’re watching, though—and even those who recognize a certain genre scenario when they see one may be shocked by where Fukada takes his story. Rather than tug at heartstrings, Harmonium goes for the gut punch.
To say much more would spoil the thrilling unpredictability. Australian director Ben Young’s pseudo- true- crime character piece dramatizes the cycles that enable domestic abuse by taking them to their extremes, examining why someone would participate in the most heinous of crimes in an attempt to please their partner.
Stephen Curry and Emma Booth star as John and Evelyn White, a working- class couple whose relationship revolves around the kidnapping, torture, and murder of young women; the majority of the film focuses on one of those women, headstrong teenager Vicki Mahoney (Ashleigh Cummings), and how her captivity disrupts the Whites’ sick domestic routine. Booth gives a standout performance as Evelyn, whose shattered psyche forms the broken heart of the film, and for a first- time director, Young shows remarkable control, giving Hounds Of Love moments of visual beauty to offset all of its emotional ugliness. After kicking things off with the finest automotive set piece of the year (sorry, Baby Driver), director Chad Stahelski concocts a first act that’s almost perversely free of violence; even more so than the original, this is a movie of strange and absurdist interludes, and it asks the audience to check their sense of realism at the door and accept its setting as a Plutonic, neon- lit alternate dimension where the honor- among- thieves clich. But when it comes time for our invincible man in black to kick ass, Stahelski doesn’t hold back on kineticism or imagination.
The most memorable sequences—including a shoot- out in a crowd of oblivious commuters and a dazzling finale set in a mirrored art installation—are modern classics of action- movie surrealism.
