July may be the first full month of Summer, but it also marks the half-way point of the year. But before we start working on those Oscar ballots, we still have two full months of Summer fun in the theaters. Here now is a preview for the notable releases of the month.
It all swings in with…
SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME – The second solo adventure from our new friendly neighborhood Spider-Man takes place right after the events of AVENGERS: ENDGAME, and sees Peter Parker/Spidey mourning the loss of his mentor and father figure while taking on a new, mysterious threat. Tom Holland reprises his role as Spider-Man, and he is joined by Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Jon Favreau, Marisa Tomei, Jake Gyllenhall, and Zendaya.
MIDSOMMAR – Director Ari Aster, who brought us the hit horror-film HEREDITARY last year, returns with another movie set to terrify us; this time following a group of friends who travel to Sweden for a festival that happens every 90 years.
STUBER – Dave Bautista (Drax from GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY), hires an Uber driver to help him with an arrest operation. Kumail Nanjiana, Natalie Morales, Mira Sorvino, and Karen Gillian co-star.
CRAWL – During a hurricane in Florida, a young woman finds her father in the crawlspace of their flooded home, and have to escape while avoiding hungry alligators. Kaya Scodelairo and Barry Pepper (SAVING PRIVATE RYAN) star.
ARMSTRONG – Just in time for the 50thanniversary of the first Moon landing. Using restored archival footage and film never before seen, this new doc explores the steps taken to one of America’s finest moments. Harrison Ford narrates.
THE LION KING – Jon Favreau (IRON MAN), directs this photo-realistic computer-animated remake of the 1994 Disney classic. It stars the voices of Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Beyonce, and James Earl Jones.
ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD – Quentin Tarantino (KILL BILL, PULP FICTION), brings us this comedy-drama that has an aging action star (Leonardo DiCaprio), and his stunt-double (Brad Pitt), trying to keep their careers going. It co-stars Margot Robbie (I, TONYA), Emile Hirsch, Timothy Olyphant, Dakota Fanning, Bruce Dern, and Al Pacino.
