11 Films to See in June
With summer movie season in full swing, you can expect multiple sequels (with Pixar's Finding Dory the most notable) in June. But you'll also find a surprising number of original and unconventional titles in theaters, including new films from Nicolas Winding Refn, Todd Solondz, Noah Baumbach, Taika Waititi, and more.
New Zealand writer-director Taika Waititi’s follow-up to cult comedy hit What We Do in the Shadows is an adaptation of Barry Crump’s novel Wild Pork And Watercress. The film follows Ricky (Julian Dennison), a city kid who warms to his new foster family, Aunt Bella and Uncle Hec (Rima Te Wiata and Sam Neill), even though they live in the New Zealand countryside. Unfortunately for Ricky, foster care threatens to move him to a new home, so he and Uncle Hec flee into the bush. It looks like Waititi has another comedic winner, so perhaps he can bring a similar touch to Thor: Ragnarok.
