Your Weekend Movie Guide for July 2023

 

Remember all the excitement years ago the summer when "Raiders of the Lost Ark" first came around.   Well, the fifth sequel has opened this summer and you barely hear a ripple of enthusiasm.   Has our movie going become that blase?  Or are people waiting to stream it in their living rooms a month from now?   Whatever the case, how sad.

You know the monthly drill, folks.  I'll scoot through the movie pages of the local rags and give you the knee jerk reaction to what's playing on the neighborhood screens.   

Expect very little.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny:  Speaking of which.  Blog review coming.  Spoiler alert:  Critics hated it, but I didn't.

Spiderman - Across the Spiderverse:   When will this franchise be done?

Sound of Freedom:  Child trafficking.  Yep, that's a thing.

Insidious - The Red Door:   Elizabeth Arden?

Elemental:  The latest dreck from Pixar.

Joy Ride:  If only it was about a cowboy who rode Joy Behar.

Asteroid City:  Wes Anderson's latest ball of confusion.

The Flash:   When will all these super heroes be done?

The Little Mermaid:  Did anybody in their right mind actually go to see this dopey Disney live action remake?   With a Black mermaid, no less.

The Miracle Club:  Three generations of friendship in Dublin.  Starring Laura Linney, Maggie Smith, and Kathy Bates---three actresses that might make this worth the price of admission.

Black Ice:  All about Black hockey players.   It was a matter of time.

Fourth Grade:  All about a Catholic elementary school.  How good could a movie be that "stars" William Baldwin?

Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning - Part One:  I love this franchise and I guess it's up to Tom Cruise to once again save the summer box office.

Dinner last night:  Hamburger.
