The temperature may still be hot but the nights are getting longer. The summer movie season is winding down and with one movie left I want to see I’m looking back at what I saw this summer.
First there were three films worthy of awards consideration: The Rider, Dorry to Bother You, and First Reformed.
The summer screens saw their traditional wave of sequels. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and The Incredibles 2 topped my list. The Sicario and Mission Impossible sequels I also thoroughly enjoyed.
As for original films The Meg was a blast to watch. Three Identical Strangers was an incredible documentary. It’s a thought provoking movie that creates an incredibly interesting and timely discussion for its viewers to have. Skyscraper was also a hell of a ride. Of course I loved Christopher Robin. Why wouldn’t I?
Leave No Trace, The Spy Who Dumped Me, and Solo: A Star Wars Story all left me wanting more. I enjoyed them but felt they were underwhelming.
Of course there were films I didn’t care for after I saw them. Oceans 8, Upgrade, and On Chesil Beach Top that list. I intentionally missed The Seagull. It looked so bad.
I’ll see BlackkKlansman tonight and call it a summer season. Here’s looking to you fall movie season.
