Coming to Netflix July 2018
SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) We've officially burned away the mild temperatures of spring with the sweltering temperatures of summer. You might want to find a cool place with air conditioning, a television and something to lounge upon while attendants feed you a variety of grapes. Well, that or a place in the shade with a tablet or smartphone.
The first few days of the month are dominated by catalog movie titles featuring everything from the live-action Scooby-Doo films (written by "Guardians of the Galaxy" writer/director James Gunn) to the art house favorite "Chocolat". The second half is a massive slate of original programming including the return of "Orange is the New Black."
Here are four titles that caught my eye, followed by a list of everything coming to Netflix in July, 2018.
Jurassic Park
It arrives a week late, but those who have wanted to revisit the original Jurassic Park trilogy either before or after seeing "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" will now have their chance as all three films are scheduled to arrive on July 1. I wasn't particularly impressed by "Fallen Kingdom," but its box office numbers suggest that audiences are more than happy to see massive dinosaurs smashing their way through modern civilization. Remember the first time you saw a dinosaur? Steven Spielberg's original film is an absolute classic.
Blue Valentine
"Blue Valentine" tracks the relationship of sweethearts Cindy (Michelle Williams) and Dean (Ryan Gosling) as young love fades and exposes the cracks and bruises that were easier to overlook when hope was a commodity still in stock. It's a hard film with fantastic performances.(Available 7/5/18)
An Education
With "An Education," Carey Mulligan announced her arrival to the world and instantly established herself as a debutante with the acting chops to match her beguiling beauty. As the title implies, this film is about innocence lost as a young woman finds herself involved with a much older man (Peter Sarsgaard). He's charming, of course, and cultured. A perfect match for a daydreaming girl who desperately wants to be seen as refined. The dream could work, but only if he was half the man she believes he is. (Available 7/22/18)
Her
The deeper we dive into technology the less absurd Spike Jonze's "Her" feels. Joaquin Phoenix stars as a man who in the wake of his divorce establishes a relationship with Samantha, an "intelligent operating system." Will our love of technology lead us down a path where we turn to artificial intelligence to feel human? (Available 7/29/18)
