The Ultimate Blockbuster Guide To 2013 Summer Movies
Release Date: May 17
Movie: Star Trek: Into The Darkness
Summary: A former good guy goes bad, wreaking unprecedented havoc on the Enterprise and its allies. Captain Kirk does what he always does: Take it personally, seek revenge, risk his life in the process.
Why We'll See It: Though the world is tiring of endless remakes and reboots, the Star Trek franchise is easily expanded upon and, based on the last movie, seems to benefit from modern effects technology. This one has enough explosions to make you go deaf, but that won't stop us from watching Benedict Cumberbatch go on a massive owning spree (we'll just bring earplugs).
Movie: The English Teacher
Summary: Highlighting both the challenges of maintaining meaningful arts programs in public schools and the complexities of professional romances, this comedy features some of our favorite faces in the business. Oh, and it will make you remember all the ridiculous stuff you were forced to do in high school.
Why We'll See It: Because Julianne Moore channels Tina Fey in the most beautiful, self-deprecating way possible.
Movie: Frances-Ha
Summary: Girls wanna do stuff with their lives. But sometimes that stuff doesn't happen, and that's alright.
Why We'll See It: Because it transports us to Paris while making our silly, twenty-something dreams seem less foreign.
