The top 20 films that will keep us inside air-conditioned movie theaters on even the sunniest days this season:
‘Thor’ (May 6)
 |
Written by: Ashley Edward Miller, Zack Stentz and Don Payne
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Colm Feore, Ray Stevenson, Idris Elba, Kat Dennings, Jaimie Alexander, Josh Dallas, Tadanobu Asano, Clark Gregg, Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins
Marvel Comics’ hammer-wielding God of Thunder (Hemsworth), powerful but arrogant, reignites an ancient war with his reckless behavior and is banished to live among humans on modern-day Earth. But when the most dangerous villain of his world sends its darkest forces to invade his new home, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero. Trading Shakespeare for comic books, director Branagh and Oscar winner Portman bring artistic credibility to the proceedings. (Paramount Pictures)
‘Priest’ (May 13)
Directed by: Scott Stewart
Written by: Cory Goodman
Starring: Paul Bettany, Karl Urban, Cam Gigandet, Maggie Q, Lily Collins, Brad Dourif, Stephen Moyer and Christopher Plummer
Bettany has carved a career out of playing various roles in high-concept religious-themed blockbusters, from the self-flagellating albino numerary of “The Da Vinci Code” to the Archangel Michael who defends the human race against God’s wrath in “Priest” director Stewart’s “Legion.” In this postapocalyptic action thriller based on the graphic novels by Min-Woo Hyung, he plays a legendary Warrior Priest from the last Vampire War now living in obscurity among the downtrodden in the dystopian cities ruled by the Church. When his niece (Collins) is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows, venturing beyond the city walls to save her. (Sony Pictures)
