Summer Movie Season


In my on going love of movie watching I am excited that May is just around the corner.  This means that the summer movie season is upon us,  3-4 months of mega blockbusters before the storm of Oscar Releases.  I’m not saying that summer movies should be left out of the Oscar race because there are some that are truly worthy of the academy award.  After all the best picture winner Crash was a summer movie.  
Its always exciting to sit and watch the mega hits roll out.  This year this is plenty to excite me.  Starting with The Avengers in early May and concluding with The Expendables 2 in mid August.  Along the road of summer releases many exciting pit stops include The Dark Knight Rises, Prometheus,The Amazing Spider-Man, and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.  

As always I look forward to the pixar release.  This years title: Brave.  I’m a bit more excited about this movie then most that Pixar has released.  For starters it is there first non sequel since 2009’s Up.  Also its there first movie featuring a female hero and is set in the time of swords and sandals.  I always enjoy that particular movie setting.  
Summer is also when I get to see most of my Midnight releases of any given year.  I always enjoy going at midnight because 98% of the audience truly wants to experience the movie at hand.  This is when you see some of the truest fans of any particular movie.  Crowded theaters, long concession lines, and applause to the rafters when the movie starts tend to ensue.  
With all that said I need to finish planning my summer movie must see list.  If your ever up for seeing a movie or just hanging out give me a call.
