So what have you have done this summer? Did you hit the beach? Go to some free concerts in the park? Go to some museums? Take a summer trip? or Did you attend any free movie screenings in the park?
It seems like the movie in the park thing increased this summer! Screening films in the park is not a bad thing, unless it's 80 freakin' degrees at night (think back to that 7 day stretch in mid July w/90+ temps), or mosquitos are feasting on your arms and legs or it's another screening of "Grease"!
As summer rapidly eases away (it's August 11th already!) it's time to fall back, figuratively and literally! Fall is just one month away (September 22nd).
So here's what's on my late summer/fall/winter film radar!
Did I forget a film? Do you have a list of your own? This would probably be a good time to leave some comments.
1. The Butler (I've seen it, it's good!)
2. Lovelace (a biopic about the chick that was in "Deep Throat". I've never seen "Deep Throat" Anybody got a link, email me!)
3. The Counselor (this film looks sick, plus there's some talent in this flick!)
4. American Hustle (a late 70's vibe, Christian Bale always brings it. Renner's in it. The weak link could Cooper)
5. 12 Years A Slave (the Soloman Northrup story, another film documenting the African American experience. I got angry watching the trailer!)
6. Walk of Freedom (how Mr. Mandela began his historical struggle. I got angry watching this trailer too! Oscar bait for Elba.)
7. Oldboy (can Spike Lee out do Park Chan-wook? The hammer scene, whoa! Netflix the original!)
8. Gravity (have you seen this trailer? I want to know how she survives this, no Hollywood ending please.)
9. Jobs (yeah I know, Eisenberg played Zuckerberg, so you know, Kutcher can sell it!)
10. The Wolf of Wall Street (ok, one more try with Scorcese and DiCaprio. Is DiCaprio really Italian?)
So there you have 10 films to fill your pop culture plate!
And you can still get a taste of summer, check out my past posts of my OBX beach excursion here, here and here.
