Ocean's 8

"Anything men can do, we can do better." The theme of female remakes/reboots keeps right on rolling as George Clooney's sister Sandra Bullock assembles her own crack team of super-thiefs to pull off the heist of the century: stealing a $150 million diamond off the neck of the world's most famous actress (Anne Hathaway) at the Met Gala. Her crew? Cate Blanchett, Sarah Paulson, Mindy Kaling, Rihanna, Awkwafina, Helena Bonham Carter, and Dakota Fanning.

For all the hate 2016's Ghostbusters received online it still went on to make a very respectable chunk of change (about $230 million worldwide), which wasn't enough to put it into the positives only because it was way too expensive to make (costing nearly $150 million). Ocean's 8 isn't going to have that problem and I think between that and the very smartly counter-programmed release date, women are going to turn out to this one in droves and turn it into a big time hit. Which is wonderful since I've always been a sucker for heist flicks and the trailer looks great- count me in, ladies!

Incredibles 2

Having to wait 14 years for this is undoubtedly the most absurd scheduling decision in Disney history, especially considering they talked Pixar into making two Cars movies in the meantime despite no one asking for them... but let's put all that behind us because it's finally here! Mr. Incredible struggles with becoming a stay-at-home Dad when Elastigirl is promoted to the status of world's #1 super hero. (Will Samuel L. Jackson agree to be his Tully?)

The whole cast is back including legendary writer/director Brad Bird, and I couldn't be more excited! The addition of Breaking Bad alums Bob Odenkirk and Jonathan Banks is a nice touch as well. Basically I would be SHOCKED if this isn't the best movie of the Summer, and I'd be equally surprised if it didn't have the blockbuster results to back that up.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn9mMeWcgoM" data-time="


A volcano or something is set to blow up Dinosaur Island, and only Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard can save these noble (genetically modified, shouldn't exist in the first place, ate hundreds of people) creatures!

2015's Jurassic reboot was... perfectly fine. No one's a bigger Chris Pratt fan than myself and he was the right choice for the role, it had some incredible action sequences and all the dinos looked pretty good. All that being said, I didn't see a need to return to that world so soon. Universal Pictures saw it another way, and when you consider World's eye-popping numbers it's hard to blame them: it finished its run as the 3rd biggest movie in history, both domestically and internationally (behind only Titanic and Avatar). In summary, I'll be in the theater opening weekend, crossing my fingers that they came up with a more compelling script than the trailer would lead us to believe.
