Here is a quick look at the new releases I plan to see in July:
The Amazing Spider-Man
July starts with a bang as Marc Webb and Andrew Garfield reboot the beloved franchise. I'm excited about the darker vibe and the changes in the origin story from Raimi's trilogy. And considering how bad Maguire's third installment was, bringing some new blood into the franchise should help the reboot, and its already scheduled sequel, return to the huge domestic gross of the first film.
The Dark Knight Rises
Definitely worth standing in line for days to see the midnight premiere in IMAX 3D (if you can find a screening that isn't already sold out...) I originally considered this the no-brainer highest grossing film of the year, but Avengers threw a wrench in that prediction. It will definitely end up with one of the highest grosses of the year, but outgrossing Avengers' mammoth $600 million haul is unlikely.
Ruby Sparks
Another film from the directors of Little Miss Sunshine. Starring Paul Dano as a struggling writer whose ideal, yet fictional, woman comes to life. This will be one of the rare instances where I'm excited about seeing a romantic comedy.
What excites you the most about July's slate?
