The three-day weekend doesn’t start for another day. There’s still time to write that novel you've been – oh, forget it. Let’s see some movies.
Actually, the ones I’m looking forward to are kinda spread out through the rest of the year. Here’s a handy look at four movies and three trailers:
Gangster Squad
Main cast: Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Josh Brolin
Premieres: September 7th
Thought: LA in the 40s, and Sean Penn playing a Jewish gangster? Please and thank you.
Moonrise Kingdom
Main cast: Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Bruce Willis
Premieres: Tomorrow!
Thought: Wes Anderson is a very polarizing filmmaker, and I happen to LOVE his work – the insert shots, the title cards, the quirky 60s film style. Hell yes.
The Amazing Spider-Man
Main cast: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Denis Leary
Premieres: July 3rd
Thought: I love that Spider-Man is cracking wise with criminals like in the comic books. Also, love the wild shots from his point of view as he swings through Manhattan.
Lincoln
Main cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tommy Lee Jones.
Premieres: December
Thought: Unfortunately, no trailer yet for this one, but a guy in Richmond, VA snapped a pic of of Daniel Day Lewis having lunch in between shooting, and this alone (plus Spielberg directing) makes me really want to see it.
