Summer is a great time to treat yourself to a trip to the movies. With the usual feast of feel-good, action and comedy flicks you can escape the sun for a few hours and indulge in some popcorn and Pepsi. Here’s the round-up for this summer, there’s a good variety including one seriously scary tale that I recommend you don’t watch alone!

1. Transformers: Revenge of the Fall …

The sinister Deceptions are back on a mission to return to earth and capture their prey – Sam Witwicky. Even this movie falls into a genre you wouldn’t usually watch, you are guaranteed to be won over by the fantastic action scenes and if not, well you can just enjoy looking at Shia La Boeuf!

2. Year One …

This has been billed as a blend of old and new comedy. This wacky spoof stars Jack Black and Micheal Cera. In this stone-age comedy they play two hunter-gatherers who have been rejected from their clan for their laziness. Now, they must brave a journey of self-discovery and learn to fend for themselves in this prehistoric landscape.

3. Public Enemies …

If you are a Johnny Depp lover (‘fan’ is not strong enough to describe my adoration!), you will be first in the queue for this movie! Johnny plays Depression-era wiseguy John Dillinger who is hunted by the implacable FBI man played by Christian Bale.

4. Ice Age 3 : Dawn of the Dinosaurs …

This movie is great for kids of all ages and even very big ones like you! Scrat returns for this third movie and find some romance with a sharp toothed squirrel names Scratte!

5. The Private Lives of Pippa Lee …

This has been adapted from a novel to create a serio-comic film about what happens a couple when the older, more settled partner wants to retire to suburbia but the much younger wife isn’t ready.
