Save the Best Movies for Last: AUGUST

It seems that August is the new great month for movies in the summer. All the cheesy and over-hyped (and sometimes very enjoyable) multi-million dollar blockbusters are coming out earlier and earlier, leaving August for some exciting new stuff. Check out my list on the right for a full breakdown of August, but below find some of my favorite picks for the month.

Top 3:
1) Kick-Ass 2 - August 16
Definitely been looking forward to this one since I heard they were making a sequel. Loved the first one and how it stood in stark contrast to other superhero movies. Who doesn't love a 12-year-old girl assassin who swears like a sailor?

2) In A World - August 9
Looks like a hilarious directorial debut for Lake Bell. It oozes charm.

3) Austenland - August 16
Real life Jane Austen summer camp. Possibly cheesy, but I'm betting I'll enjoy it.

Other Indie Darlings:
Drinking Buddies - August 23 (but now On Demand)
Short Term 12 - August 23

Blockbusters to Try:
Elysium - August 6
Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters - August 6
Paranoia - August 16
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones - August 23
