Okay, folks, gather 'round! Summer's in full swing, the sun's blazing, and the only thing hotter than the asphalt is the lineup of movies hitting theaters (and streaming services!) in July and August 2021. Prepare your popcorn and maybe a ridiculously oversized soda, because we're about to dive headfirst into a cinematic tidal wave!
July: Action, Adventure, and Animated Antics!
First up, buckle your seatbelts for Black Widow. Scarlett Johansson is back as Natasha Romanoff, and let's just say things are about to get explosive. If you're craving superhero action that's more intense than your average grocery store parking lot argument, this is it!
Need something a bit lighter? How about Space Jam: A New Legacy? LeBron James teams up with the Looney Tunes, and honestly, who doesn't want to see that? It’s like a nostalgia bomb went off, showering us all in cartoon rabbits and basketballs!
And for those who prefer their entertainment animated, there's The Boss Baby: Family Business. I know, I know, but hear me out! It's got talking babies, secret missions, and enough silliness to make your inner child do a happy dance.
Don't Forget These Gems!
Keep an eye out for Escape Room: Tournament of Champions if you like suspense. These folks are really bad at escape rooms! Also Old, by M. Night Shyamalan. It's creepy, it's weird, and you'll probably spend the whole movie with your eyes half-closed behind your hands.
August: Thrills, Chills, and Musical Fills!
August is bringing the heat, and I'm not just talking about the weather. Get ready for some seriously exciting movies!
First off, there's The Suicide Squad. This is DC's attempt to make a superhero movie that's even more chaotic and hilarious than your last family reunion. Think bad guys doing good things (sort of) with lots of explosions, and you're on the right track.
For those craving a good action-comedy, check out Free Guy. Ryan Reynolds plays a video game character who realizes he's, well, a video game character! Prepare for lots of breaking the fourth wall and general Reynolds-ian charm.
And hold onto your hats, music lovers, because Respect, the Aretha Franklin biopic, is arriving. Jennifer Hudson embodies the Queen of Soul, and I'm already reaching for the tissues.
Hidden August Treasures
Don't miss Don't Breathe 2, the sequel to the incredibly suspenseful thriller. If you thought the first one was intense, get ready for a whole new level of nail-biting. Also, Reminiscence is hitting the big screen, starring Hugh Jackman. It's got mystery, romance, and Jackman, so what more could you want?
Final Thoughts: Prepare for Movie Magic!
So, there you have it! A whirlwind tour of the cinematic delights awaiting you in July and August 2021. From superheroes to space jams, thrillers to tearjerkers, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
Grab your friends, your family, or just treat yourself to a solo movie date (you deserve it!). Get ready to escape reality for a few hours and immerse yourself in the magic of the movies. Let me hear it for movies!
Just remember to buy enough popcorn. Because you'll want it, trust me.
