Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, Incredibles 2 and Ocean’s 8: Hollywood movies you should watch in June

Hollywood’s summer season is officially here. The lineup is pretty strong this year and there is something for everybody. The season and particularly this month is notorious for big blockbusters with shallow plots and eye-popping CGI scenes that you can enjoy while munching on popcorn (that’s why the term popcorn-flicks). All except two of these films are sequels, banking a little on the popularity of their predecessors. Let’s have a look.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom: Jurassic World was called a greedy attempt to cash in on the popularity of the original Steven Spielberg classic. Fallen Kingdom is even more prone to this criticism, since it is a sequel to a film many called unnecessary. But nobody can ignore the fact that Jurassic World became one of the highest-grossing movies of all time with 1.67 billion dollars worldwide. These prehistoric monsters may have gone extinct and given way to humans, but their faithful portrayal can still terrify and thrill us and keep us at the edge of our seat. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom will release on June 7 in India.

Incredibles 2: The family of superheroes is back and this time Elastigirl is the one who does the primary superheroic deeds while Mr Incredible stays home with Violet and Dash, caring for them. There is a new villain in town, The Underminer, that was introduced in the last scene of the first film. Bollywood’s Kajol is giving her voice to Elastigirl and here you can see her promoting the movie. The film will release on June 22.

Ocean’s 8: It is girls’ turn to plan a heist now. The famous franchise Ocean’s gets an all-female makeover in this exciting new project titled Ocean’s 8. Sandra Bullock leads the cast as Danny Ocean’s wayward sister Debbie who with a bunch of “experts” plans to rob the Met Gala of New York City. The film has names like Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter. Gary Ross (The Hunger Games) directs Ocean’s 8. The film will release on June 22.

Hereditary: There is a scarcity of good horror films. Hereditary is an exception. It has received highly positive reviews – indeed its rating at Rotten Tomatoes is a perfect 100%. As the title implies, the film is based on ancestral secrets that a family discovers after the family matriarch dies. This would make for a great watch for horror fans. The film releases on June 22.

Adrift: In this film, starring Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin, two lovers go on a journey across the Pacific Ocean and face some of the most vicious hurricanes recorded in history. It falls on to Shailene’s character to pull them together as the man she loves is badly injured. Adrift will release on June 22.

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as  Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother  Sunny Deol  was already the  dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
