The Summer Movie Season got off to a hot start last month, and despite being a little light, the next month will keep the heat going. Here’s what’s coming in June:
FRANK AND PENELOPE – Sean Patrick Flanery of BOONDOCK SAINTS fame writes and directs this romantic crime film about a couple who gets tangled up in a cult. Kevin Dillon and Caylee Cowan star.
BENEDICTION – Acclaimed director Terence Davies delivers this true-story drama about Siegfried Sassoon, the British poet jailed for his anti-war stance during WWI. Peter Capaldi and Jack Lowden star.
JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION – The dinosaur franchise that Steven Spielberg started with JURASSIC PARK in 1993 roars on with its sixth film. This time with the humans finding a way to co-exist with dinos now let loose on the world. The cast includes Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and original JURASSIC stars Laura Dern, Sam Neill, and Jeff Goldblum. It is directed by Colin Trevorrow, who helmed the last two JURASSIC films.
LIGHTYEAR – Pixar re-enters the atmosphere in a big way. Just like Woody got a backstory in TOY STORY 2, this time his friend Buzz Lightyear appears in the film that would inspire his action figure. Chris Evans (CAPTAIN AMERICA), voices Buzz.
THE BLACK PHONE – In this supernatural horror film, an abducted child communicates with the past victims of his kidnapper, played by a masked Ethan Hawke. Scott Derrickson (DOCTOR STRANGE), directs.
ELVIS – Stylistic director Baz Luhrmann (MOULIN ROUGE!), brings us this latest biopic on Elvis Presley, played by Austin Butler (Tex from ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD). The cast includes Richard Roxburgh, David Wenham, Kodi Smith-McPhee, and Tom Hanks.

A few rules:
1. Personal attacks not tolerated.
2. Haters welcome, if you can justify it.
3. Swearing is goddamn OK.
