Refreshing as a 'Summer' day
It's no accident that the love-sick Tom Hanson (Joseph Gordon- Levitt) of "(500) Days of Summer" ends up watching faux foreign films to comfort himself while crying. The scene is a wink to some great filmmakers that may have influenced music video director Marc Webb in his feature debut.

Amanda Howells' "The Summer of Skinny Dipping" is an excellent novel for young adults. It's also a thoroughly enjoyable beach read.

Mia is looking forward to this as a way to escape her own life, to forget about her cheating ex-boyfriend and a mother she can never seem to please.

If there is one movie you should see before the summer ends, it is most definitely "Inception." Starring Ellen Page ("Juno") and Leonardo DiCaprio ("Shutter Island"), it is a jaw-dropping thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat.
The movie revolves around the idea of inception: planting a concept in a person's mind through his or her dreams. Enter Cobb (DiCaprio), and his partner, Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, "500 Days of Summer"), who work inside people's dreams extracting secrets for their clients.

You should know upfront: This is not a love story," (500) Days of Summer's omniscient narrator warns us. The film then lays out the pop-cultural obsessions and core-rocking events that define the He and She of this , Tom (Joseph Gordon-Leavitt) and Summer (Zooey Deschanel). When he was young, Tom tucked into the Smiths and watched The Graduate on constant loop, while Summer, marked by her parents' divorce, cut off her prized long locks and realized that the shear didn't sting like she thought it would.
If the title and the narrator's pronounce- ment don't tender enough advance notice, Summer warns as much on her first quasi- date with Tom, when she scoffs skeptically at love, or at least the moony, struck-dumb kind that the sentimentalist Tom clings to. He's a failed archi...

What follows is a road trip as [Bill Murray]'s over-the-hill Don Juan tracks down lost loves (including Jessica Lange, Tilda Swinton and Sharon Stone) while searching for his boy. It's hard to imagine a better match for Murray's late-career deadpan-depression renaissance than [Jim Jarmusch]'s patented static-frame awkward silences. This one had better be great.
It can't be easy to reboot an entire franchise, but Memento director Christopher Nolan has taken it upon himself to rescue the Caped Crusader from his late-'90s embarrassments in Joel Schumacher's nipple-and-crotch-shot craptaculars. Nolan's Batman Begins comes stocked with a utility belt full of prestigious performers. The gifted British actor Christian Bale's young Bruce Wayne is backed by Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman and Ken Wa...
