Good luck planning ahead to see movies this summer; the schedules (and the theatrical versus streaming strategies) are still changing rapidly. But here are a dozen movies I’m keeping an eye on, and hoping to see on the biggest screen I can find.
“The Dry” (May 21): Based on a wonderfully atmospheric novel by Jane Harper, Robert Connolly’s film stars Eric Bana as an Australian federal agent who reluctantly agrees to investigate a crime in his hometown.

A Quiet Place Part II (May 28). The original A Quiet Place, back in 2018, freaked me the hell out, to put it mildly. (Do not watch this film in an empty house; every subsequent noise will terrify you.) Now the sequel to John Krasinski s very effective horror movie, in which he stars with Emily Blunt as a couple who must fend off apocalyptic monsters who are triggered by sound, is coming up, with even more silence. Yikes.

Vin Diesel s saving the world and driving way too fast (and a bit furious), a Marvel superhero is fighting bad guys (as usual), and a few horror movies are ready to scare your sandals off. Just like a filled-out vaccination card, these are welcome sights for movie fans.
After the debacle that was 2020 due to COVID-19, the summer-movie season is back, even if it might not exactly be back to normal. Still, it s a lot better than where we were a year ago: Theaters are reopening across the country, the limited capacity per showing is ticking up, and the films people couldn t wait for last summer are intermingling with the major movies planned for 2021. Add in that streaming services are now prime-time players (especially for families with kids who ve not been vaccinated), and there is plenty to love and see between now and Labor Day.
