Got Downtime?

 With school coming to a close, it's time to plan those movie dates. Here are a few films that are currently out and a few that are still to come. 

#1 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 

Release Date: May 5, 2023

Rating: PG-13 

Everyone’s favorite batch of Marvel heroes are back and have already accumulated $318.7 million in the box office. Guardians of the Galaxy films have been loved especially because of lead actor Chris Pratt. Whether you’re a Marvel lover or not, this movie is sure to deliver comedy while also tugging on our heart strings. Movie critics are calling it, “One of the best Marvel movies of all time”. 

#2 Fast X 

Release Date: May 19, 2023

Rating: PG-13 

The tenth movie of the Fast and Furious franchise has some of the wildest stunts yet. The budget for the movie is 340 million and I would imagine they’re expecting to at least break even. The trailer itself features tricks and flips that have never been performed in their previous movies. If you are into action, adventure or suspense this is the movie for you but you might want to give yourself a quick refresher on what happened last time. 

#3 The Little Mermaid

Release Date: May 26,2023

Rating: PG

This movie is one that I am overjoyed and extremely excited for. Disney faced immense backlash after the casting of Ariel due to the fact that Halle Bailey is a Black woman. Through the hate on social media, and the endless harassment Bailey faced online, they continued to film and now the movie is set to release in theaters May 26th. Merchandise for the film is already flying off of the shelfs and families are gearing up to rush to the theaters. This film is not one to miss and is definitely worth buying pre-sale tickets for. 

#4 Spider Man: Across the Spider Verse 

Release Date: June 2nd 

Rating: Not Yet Rated  

One of our favorite neighborhood Spiderman is coming back to the big screen. Miles Morales being Afro-Latino has been praised by the media since his introduction in 2018. Coming back to the big screen for a second film, Marvel fans are anticipating this to be better than the first. 

After finals are over try to treat yourself to a movie date or go with a bunch of friends. Try to sit back and detox and also pat yourself on the back for completing another semester of school.
