Into the Summer-Verse: Richard Roeper's Summer Movie Preview
"Looking back at last year's Summer Movie Preview, most of the titles we were most keen to see lived up to our expectations, e.g., the global blockbuster 'Top Gun: Maverick'…; the gritty and grounded…'Hustle'; the Austin Butler star-making vehicle 'Elvis,' and the dark thrills we gleaned from 'Black Phone,' 'Nope' and 'Emily the Criminal.'
Then again: the less said about 'The Gray Man' and 'Jurassic Park: Dominion,' the better.
Not that our annual look at the summer movies we're most excited about is intended to predict box-office success or even widespread critical acclaim; we're just saying the potential is there for something special, whether it's a seemingly slam dunk of a sequel (hello, Indiana Jones), a highly anticipated Serious Film (Christopher Nolan in the house) or a certain very pink movie…
With a reminder our Summer Movie Calendar begins May 1 and closes Labor Day weekend, here's what we're most excited to see."
