Top 10 Most Anticipated Summer Films (1 of 3)

Every summer, tucked between the blockbusters, romantic comedies, and 500th Transformers movie, are hidden gems that satisfy our thirst for quality movies until Oscar season rears its ugly head. So, I compiled a list of ten movies that I personally can’t wait to see this summer.

10. Sex Tape (Directed by Jake Kasdan | Starring Jason Segel, Cameron Diaz, and Jack Black | July 25, 2014)

I can see this movie being a complete and utter disaster. I can also see it being comedy gold. With Jason Kasdan at the helm and Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz in tow, this could be the comedy of the summer.

9. Wish I Was Here (Directed by Zach Braff | Starring Zach Braff, Kate Hudson, Mandy Patinkin, and Josh Gad | August 1, 2014)

I think this film could end up being a disaster. I mean trying to follow up an instant classic like Garden State is no easy task, but I have feeling that this could be a home run for Zach Braff. Despite the clear connection to Garden State and the less than inspired title, it looks like everything is falling in line for this film.

8. Boyhood (Directed by Richard Linklater | Starring Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette, and Ellar Coltrane | July 11, 2014)

The fact that this is a film about a boy’s childhood over a span of twelve years that was filmed over a span of twelve years with the same actors is reason enough to see this movie. Throw in the fact that it stars Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette, then you’ve got a good deal. Want me to do one better? It was also directed by the Before trilogy’s writer and director Richard Linklater. This one looks like it can’t lose.
