It’s the summer of sequels and I’m not physically or mentally prepared for it. So when everyone else is enjoying the summer sun, you can catch me thriving with my $7 ICEE in the movie theatre. Whether you're a movie person or not, here are eight (maybe obvious, oh well) movies that are must-sees this summer!
**Disclaimer: Are you not a ‘movie person’ because it’s too damn expensive? Good news: AMC Theatres is bringing back $5 Movie Tuesdays !
1. “Deadpool 2” (May 18th, 2018)
Deadpool is back with a bigger budget, y’all!! We can expect the same kick-ass action sequences and humor from the first film, but this time with more co-stars and more expensive explosions. Get excited!!
2. “Solo: A Star Wars Story” (May 25th, 2018)
Not only is it a Star Wars movie, but we all get to come out and support our parents Donald Glover and Khaleesi. Fans have been asking for a Han origin story for freaking years and Lucasfilm finally pulled through! Whether you’re sick of the reboots yet or not, this movie is guaranteed to be a fun one.
3. “Ocean’s 8” (June 8th, 2018)
We’re finally getting the kick-ass female-dominated heist movie we deserve! But honestly this movie could be about Sandra Bullock, Rihanna and Sarah Paulson just hanging out and getting lunch and I would still pay to see it in theatres twice.
4. “Incredibles 2” (June 15th, 2018)
Everyone 14 and under is obligated to wait a week to see this one out of respect for their elders, the '90s kids, who have been waiting 14 YEARS FOR THIS. From this movie we can expect nostalgia, laughs and, of course, no capes.
5. “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” (June 22nd, 2018)
Chris Pratt, Jeff Goldblum, dinosaurs...honestly, we don’t need much more than that to be satisfied. The first installment of this reboot was so much fun and kept me on the edge of my seat for its nearly three-hour run-time; I’m confident this one will do the same.
6. “Ant-Man and The Wasp” (July 6th, 2018)
7. “Eighth Grade” (July 13th, 2018)
While not an epic action sequel like the rest of the list, this debut coming-of-age film by comedic genius Bo Burnham is already getting Oscar nods (The heck!? That's wild!?) from some major film critics. It stars Elsie Fisher and, if you weren't wearing your torn Hot Topic skinny jeans already, pull them out and squeeze back into them, as this film is sure to bring you back to your emo phase. I’m basically just going to give Bo Burnham my paycheck at this point.8. “Hot Summer Nights” (July 27th, 2018)
Another A24 movie that will make you angsty without even trying. It stars America’s sweetheart, Timotheé Chalamet, as a teen just trying his best, while doing some drugs along the way. It looks like a blast and I’m so ready to see it.
So make sure to go hard at your local movie theatres and be part of one of the best box office summers! Feelings and retweeted memes can be found on Twitter @jadedill.
