Remember Forgotten Summer? We were kind of calling it Forgotten Summer 2: The Sequel, but it never quite stuck...at least with us. But we can all still it that, if you'd like?
In case you missed our slate of episodes that came out this July, never fear, for now they're all in one great place! This blog article!
Flight of the Navigator
David has been missing for 8 years! And now...he's got the map of the universe in his brain, as well as the ability to operate and talk with a giant, silver pistachio nut-shaped vehicle. Oh...and Paul Reubens is in it.
War of the Worlds
Dad of the year, Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise), takes on an alien invasion that arrives via lighting strikes into machines already buried in the ground from billions of years ago. Say what?! Humans being exterminated into clouds of dust, people turning on people, blood-weeds planted all over...all directed by Steven Spielberg. We're in!
Blown Away
The summer of Speed, was also the summer of this movie about a mad bomber (Tommy Lee Jones) looking to exact revenge on his former friend and IRA colleague (Jeff Bridges). It's intricate bomb design after intricate bomb design and includes an explosive pyro-techincal effect that destoryed thousands of windows in the Boston area during filming. Take that CGI-AI hybrid models!
Kingdom of Heaven: Director's Cut
It's not often a director's cut vastly improves upon the theatrical, but Ridley Scott's Crusade epic does just that. (There were huge storylines cut out that we needed in the original release) But we digress. We talk much about the story of our hero, Balian, matched up against the overall message of the crusades and which one we prefer.
White Water Summer
Remember when parents let their kids do whatever they wanted during the summer, and only called them in for dinner. Welcome to the 80s! This summer, we've got Alan (Sean Astin) getting sent on an adventure into the wilderness with Vic (Kevin Bacon), some random dude that might be psychotic.
Till the Next Forgotten Summer
Who knows? Perhaps the summer of 2027 will bring more movies released during the summertime months that we think are forgotten. Is this speciality month even worth it? Let us know! Have a suggestion for a movie? Let us know! Want to talk movies? Let's go!
