One of my favorite times of the year is the Summer Movie Season. Growing up it was always an excursion to the nearest movie theater (usually on post) to catch the latest and the greatest. Some of my fondest childhood memories were my father taking his kids to watch the movies. I’ve been a summer movie nut ever since.
I still prefer watching movies the old fashioned way: in the theaters. Sure, you get those who insist on talking on the phone during the movie, the people who insist on holding conversations, and in one case, the guy who snores so loud the whole theater can hear him (true story). But there are those times when you get in, get in with a good crowd who are really into the movie. It’s fun when the entire theatre cheers at a movie’s high points, and if the movie was really good, there’s a standing ovation at the end.
Here’s a list of stuff that’s coming up, for all those interested. I put a lot of filler movies in just to catch all the weekends, but generally if I’m interested in it, it’s on this list. This list will most likely change before the season is out. The movies I marked blue are the ones I’m particularly excited about.
My biggest disappointment? Nothing I’m interested in is coming out on my birthday! Oh, well…
