This is that time of the year when a movie lover can seamlessly lose himself in one movie after the other, jumping from one world to another in the span of a week, living a life of ecstasy and joy where there is no room for misery and disappointment. The grand Summer season! We have moved from the pure sci-fi thrill of Oblivion to the superhero saga in Iron Man 3, back to sci-fi with an emotional connect in Star Trek Into Darkness and then raced with pace in Fast & Furious 6. In many geographies, the last weekend of May could well end with more wonders from a killer planet in After Earth and the magic behind a heist in Now You See Me. With June, this wonderful journey is set to continue. Ride it along with these five movies that you should not afford to miss!
5) The Internship: Some comic relief is a must in an otherwise Hollywood era which is being filled with apocalyptic themes and superhero sagas. The Internship is vying to do just that with the successful duo of The Wedding Crashers, Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, reuniting. And even if they were to miss a step or two in their comic acts, there is always the lure of getting a look inside Google and the treats it holds for its employees (even if we get to see an exaggerated version of it)!
4) Monsters University: A Pixar film would usually be one of the most awaited films of the year. This prequel to the highly successful Monsters Inc. sadly does not seem to be. The trailers have seemed to lack the Pixar awe and I get a sense that a disappointment similar to Cars 2 lurks in the corner. Eh, how I wish to be proven wrong! It’s a Pixar film nonetheless, and so a visit to the theatres should be on the cards.
3) White House Down: Gerard Butler has already played the guy who saved the President earlier in the year. Now it’s the ladies' man, Channing Tatum, to do so! If the trailers are indicative of what the final product would be, expect lots of stuff blowing up in Roland Emmerich style, lots of cool action and lots of humour. White House Down is all set to be a perfect summer flick, where things do not make much sense and yet you enjoy rooting for the good guys. To be watched with buckets of popcorn and loads of pepsi!
2) World War Z: A zombie pandemic is set to destroy the human race and someone has to step up to save the world. No, this is not one of the Resident Evil movies. While the premise of World War Z may not be uncommon, it is the presence of Brad Pitt that puts the movie on another shelf altogether. To add to that, the trailer has showcased quite a staggering zombie pyramid; seems the people behind the movie have not held anything back in terms of visual effects, with the production budget close to $200 million!
1) Man of Steel: June 14, 2013. That is the date to mark on your calendars. The day the famous Kryptonian arrives on Earth to protect mankind. He's done it before, so what's turning this movie into something that many across the globe are eagerly waiting for? The two men at the helm of things - Christopher Nolan as the Producer and Zack Snyder as the Director. It's a glorious partnership of two amazing creative men who have the task of building a story around one of the greatest superheroes of all time. If this itself was not exciting enough, the trailers and the TV spots have added more to the building frenzy. With this movie also being rumoured to set the stage for a Justice League film sometime in the future, Man of Steel does indeed have a lot riding on its shoulders. Will it live up to the expectations? Heck yeah, he's Superman after all!
The trailer for Man of Steel below for another viewing before the D-Day arrives.
