Here are the five July releases which I have rated a 4 or 5:
PUBLIC ENEMIES | July 1
In this action-thriller, acclaimed filmmaker Michael Mann directs Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, and Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard in the incredible and true story of legendary Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger (Depp), the charismatic bank robber whose lightning raids made him the number one target of J. Edgar Hoover’s fledgling FBI and its top agent, Melvin Purvis (Bale), and a folk hero to much of the downtrodden public. Johnny Depp, Michael Mann (dir), Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard
BRÜNO | July 10
Borat trickster Sasha Baron Cohen returns to the big screen to offer yet another stinging dose of sociopolitical satire in this comedy that finds him assuming the persona of gay fashionmonger Brüno, the self-proclaimed “voice of Austrian youth TV.” Originally conceived as part of Cohen’s cult television series Da Ali G Show, the character of Brüno offered a cleverly-costumed Cohen the opportunity to highlight the absurdities of the fashion industry by interviewing unsuspecting fashion icons and other haute couture hangers-on. Sasha Baron Cohen, Richard Bey, Ron Paul, Larry Charles (dir)
HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE | July 17
Harry obtains a Potions book which used to be belong to the very mysterious Half-Blood Prince. Harry finds that the Half-Blood Prince’s ancient scribbles are written along the margins of almost every page, giving Harry advice on how to improve greatly on his Potions work, and also teaching him a few helpful (and dangerous) spells along the way. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Jim Broadbent, David Yates (dir)
ORPHAN | July 24
At the local orphanage, recently bereaved John and Kate find themselves strangely drawn to a young girl named Esther. Almost as soon as they welcome Esther into their home, however, an alarming series of events begins to unfold, leading Kate to believe that there’s something wrong with Esther — this seemingly angelic little girl is not what she appears to be. Isabelle Fuhrman, Peter Sarsgaard, Vera Farmigam, Jaume Collet-Serra (dir)
FUNNY PEOPLE | July 31
When seasoned comedian George Simmons learns of his terminal, inoperable health condition, his desire to form a genuine friendship causes him to take a relatively green performer under his wing as his opening act. Adam Sandler, Seth Roger, Jason Schwartzman, Judd Apatow (dir)
