MAY

Starting off the summer movie explosion this year is Iron Man 3, the third, and final installment of the Iron Man franchise boasts to end the series with a bang.

FBI Special Agent Dylan Hobbs is determined to make the magicians pay for their crimes and to stop them before they pull off what promises to be an even more audacious heist. But he’s forced to partner with Alma Vargas (Melanie Laurent), an Interpol detective about whom he is instantly suspicious. Out of desperation, he turns to Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman), a famed magic debunker, who claims the bank heist was accomplished using disguises and video trickery. One thing Dylan and Alma agree on is that the Horsemen must have an outside point person and that finding him (or her) is key to ending the magicians’ crime spree. Could it be Thaddeus? Or Alma? Or could it be…magic? The Four Horsemen, a magic super-group led by the charismatic Michael Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), perform a pair of high-tech magic shows, first astonishing audiences by robbing a bank on another continent, and then exposing a white-collar criminal and funneling his millions into the audience members’ bank accounts.As pressure mounts and the world awaits the Horsemen’s spectacular final trick, Dylan and Alma race to find an answer. But it soon becomes painfully clear that staying one step ahead of these masters of illusion is beyond the skills of any one man or woman. See The Trailer Here

JUNE

There are a few films in June, but we feel Kick ass is the only one worth seeing.

Kick Ass 2

antwaune gray,thelifestyleelite,cheyan gray,the lifestyle elite,thelifestyleelite.com,kick ass

The red band trailer for Kick-Ass 2 has just released, looking to pick up where the previous film left off. The trailer sees Aaron Johnson reprise his role as Kick-Ass, while Chloë Grace Moretz returns as Hit-Girl, with the two continuing their super-escapades. The trailer reveals that both characters come under heavy criticism in the face of a new threat: Mr. Motherf***er (as played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse). To aid, though, the team is also reinforced by a crew of new vigilantes – most notably, Colonel Stars and Stripes, as played by an almost unrecognizable Jim Carrey. Chock-full of action sequences packed into two-and-a-half minutes, the trailer does well to excite its audience before the film’s June 28 release. See The Trailer Here

JULY

July brings the wildly anticipated crime thriller directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, and star Ryan Gosling, Only God Forgives.

Only God Forgives [Update Film Review]

AUGUST

August is the final month in our summer guide,but it has a few movies we feel are worth seeing oddly enough they all three open in theaters on the same day. Red 2 is the follow up to the wildly quirky comedy first film. The sequel looks like the first film it looks like there will be more awkward moments, action,and comedy audiences liked in the first film.
