Movies to see in July
an Oscar for his portrayal of
Johnny Cash in “Walk the Line” but hopefully will win this year for portraying quadriplegic alcoholic John Callahan, on whose memoir Gus Van Sant's dramedy is based. Hill plays his disco-dancing, caftan-wearing Alocoholics Anonymous sponsor. I hope Academy members remember this movie come Oscar nomination time. This comes out July 13th.
Jul 20 ~ Movie Night on Courthouse
Aug 5 ~ The Lion King and Jumanji
Also coming out July 13th is “Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation starring the vocal talents of Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg. This is perfect for the whole family. The biggest fight of the Summer is not a boxing match on HBO or MMA on cable or Donald Trump vs CNN, it's Denzel Washington in his first sequel against Tom Cruise in yet another “Mission Impossible”. Yes, Mr. Washington stars in “The Equalizer 2” After saying he would never appear in a sequel because he doesn't believe in them, money definitely was a factor. Let's see which film makes more money. “Equalizer 2” comes out July 20th
and “Mission Impossible” comes out July 27th. Another sequel is “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” which has an amazing cameo by Cher appearing as Meryl Streep's mother. Only in the movies! The last sequel worth mentioning
is “Ant-Man and the Wasp” which comes out July 6th. The first “Ant-Man” was enjoyable so hope this one is as well.
