The summer season is Hollywood’s chance to really pull in the big bucks. Kids are out of school, most adults take at least a week of vacation, and everyone wants to head indoors to escape the heat of the season. More than any other time of year, people flock to the box office during the summer months and it’s Hollywood’s job to capitalize on this demand. This year has been a below average summer as far as films go. Perhaps we’re all growing weary of 3D, remakes, and bestsellers turned films, but there were only a few noteworthy movies to hit the screen this summer.After the first month of the summer was marked by cheesy and overdone concepts with films such as Killers and Knight and Day. Toy Story 3 came to the box office at just the right, redeeming time. Though many sequels and triquels are disappointing follow-ups to a big hit, Toy Story 3 was far from fitting into that category. Perhaps it was the long period of time since Toy Story 2 that gave it the big push, but more likely, it was the touching plot delivered flawlessly by the famed voices of Tim Allen and Tom Hanks. This movie broke Pixar records, records within the trilogy, and even landed a spot on the top 50 highest grossing films of all time.Twilight fans may disagree but overall the highly anticipated third movie in the Twilight Saga, Eclipse, also received disappointing reviews. Other recent flops have been Grown Ups, The Last Airbender and The A-Team. But, just as movie-goers might have been chalking this summer up as a lost cause, Inception opened to raving reviews and impressive opening weekend numbers. Tackling a unique concept of what the human mind can create through dreams, Leonardo Dicaprio delivers a stellar performance as a “thief of thoughts.” In this world, he can steal the ideas from a person’s dream, and in the ultimate challenge, is charged with implanting something into a man’s dream.
