39 Movies That Will Make The Summer Sizzle

Blockbusting flicks and indie picks. 2009's hottest shots...


Fast And Furious (10 April)
Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and other original cast members re-unite under almost the original film title (presumably 4 Fast 4 Furious is one focus group too far) in the name of driving dead fast and saying macho stuff, while driving fast. Ace.

If this film was a summer holiday…
Paris honeymoon revisit
A break from years of underwhelming anniversary celebrations, rekindling the old magic by booking into the same hotel, dressing up in some sexy new clothes and trying to put the past behind you.


Let The Right One In (10 April)

Twisted, bleak and brilliant Swedish vampire flick in which a bullied 12 year-old boy strikes up a relationship with the new neighbours, an old man and an unnaturally old-acting young-looking girl.

If this film was a summer holiday…
Scandinavian cinema circle
A super-pretentious film club retreat showing constant double bills of Ingmar Bergman and John Carpenter movies. Heaven, then.

Race To Witch Mountain (10 April)
Disney revisit Escape To Witch Mountain, offering Easter holiday fun for a pair paranormal sibs who get caught up in an alien invasion with only Rock to eyebrow them out of danger.

If this film was a summer holiday…
Minehead Butlins with granddad
A dependable family fortnight with all the sparkly lights and idiot fun of the old days, only with a new, younger set of Redcoats, who seem to be a lot handsomer than you remember.

Crank 2: High Voltage (17 April)
Scowly king of tough Jason Statham is back to hunt down his own stolen heart using only his powers of super-demented action. And a car battery (to keep his makeshift ticker going. Really).

If this film was a summer holiday…
Drug-fuelled banger tour
A frenzied trawl through the American heartland in an old Chevy convertible – flash, but aging – which breaks down and needs jump-starting in every town. Madness, adrenaline and the occassional strip-club stop-off power you through.

      Whoops total film ! i think you dropped the ball here, it should be the "40 movies that make summer sizzle" perhaps an oversight in the exited t.f. office but you have left out "the brothers bloom". thanks for the other 39 though.
