CL’s Top 5 Summer Must See Movies!

With 2011 breaking the record for most number of sequels EVER at 27, it comes as no surprise that my top five must see movies this summer are all sequels! These five will make a fabulous date night, or just a night to escape the summer heat!

1.      July 15 – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2

The end of Part 1 finds Voldemort stealing the Elder Wand from Dumbledore’s tomb, which begs the question: will anyone truly ever be able to stop He Who Must Not Be Named?  No one is safe, and all out war is inevitable. The motion picture event of a generation finally comes to a close – you don’t want to miss this.

2.      May 26 – The Hangover Part 2

In the sequel to 2009’s record-breaking comedy “The Hangover,” part 2 finds Stu, Phil, Doug, and Allen in Thailand for Stu’s wedding.  After what happened in Vegas, Stu takes every precaution to ensure everything goes off without a hitch.  Of course, hilarity ensues and brings another bachelor party the guys will once again (never?) forget.

3.      July 1 – Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon

Once again it’s a battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons, but this time they’re racing to the moon to find what the first men on the moon discovered all those years ago – a Cybertronian spacecraft, whose secrets could determine which race will win, once and for all.

4.      May 20 – Pirates of the Carribean 4: On Stranger Tides

No Keira Knightley in this one.  However, Penelope Cruz plays Angelica, an old flame of Captain Jack Sparrow.  She lures him onto the ship of Blackbeard, where he’s forced to join in the quest for the Fountain of Youth.  With talks of a Pirates 5 already in the works, it’s hard to say whether this is the last time we’ll see Captain Jack.  But the fourth installment is sure to have an abundance of rum drinking, sword fights, flirtation, and of course the quick quips we all love from our favorite pirate.

5.      June 24 – Cars 2

Lightning McQueen is back with his old pal Mater as they take on the first-ever World Grand Prix.  However, there are plenty of speed bumps on the way, and Mater gets  wrapped up in a top secret spy mission!  Have a night out with your little cousins and see this movie, you know they want to (and you do to!).
