SUMMER FLICKS
Check out these new movies to catch a break from the heat of summer
TOMORROWLAND/DISNEY
Tomorrowland is a sci-fi film about an inventor who returns to a land of imagination. It hits theaters May 22.
For those days you'll want to take shelter from the summer heat, the movie theater can be your best friend. Here are six films to get excited about this season.
TOMORROWLAND (MAY 22)
Disney's secretive sci-fi wonder ride of a blockbuster looks to become the coolest surprise of the summer, promising sleek thrills, energizing ingenuity and grandiose spectacle. George Clooney stars as an inventor returning to a land of unlimited imagination, and Brad Bird ("The Incredibles," "Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol") directs with stylistic gusto and action bravo.
ANT-MAN (JULY 17)
ANI-MAN (JULY 17)
After going as big as possible with "Avengers: Age of Ultron", Marvel's next superhero film takes things down to size. Paul Rudd stars as a thief chosen for an important heist, where he uses a supersuit that allows him to shrink in size, gain immense strength and also control ants. The result offers fresh ways to play with set piece action, blowing up micro-scale into giant fun.
TRAINWRECK (JULY 17)
Party girl Amy Schumer wrote and stars in this raunchy comedy about a magazine writer who doesn't believe in monogamy, goes out every night and freely moves from one guy to the next, until she starts to fall for the sports doctor subject (Bill Hader) of her next article. Studio comedy super producer Judd Apatow steps back into the directing chair here, balancing humor and
insight into relationships over an inflated, yet entertaining runtime.
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE:
ROGUIF NATION (JULY 31)
Tom Cruise literally hung onto the outside door of a jumbo jet as it took off and flew to 5,000 feet for a jaw-dropping stunt in the latest "Mission: Impossible." That alone makes this installment, where Ethel Hunt (Cruise) and his team fight to
eliminate the rogue version of the Impossible Mission Force, worth seeing. All the other adrenaline-pumping set pieces will be icing on the cake.
FANTASTIC FOUR (AUG. 7)
FANTASTIC FOUR (AUG. 7) "Chronicle" is one of the most unique superhero films of recent years, so naturally, its director, Josh Trank, was brought in to breathe new life into a stale superhero property. His reboot of "Fantastic Four" bears a much edgier
style than the previous films, and a younger, proven cast (Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell and Michael B. Jordan) bodes very well for this new take.
