New in Theaters for June

A lot of movies are premiering in June, but only a few of them interest me. This is why they might be worth watching... or avoiding.

WATCHING

Free State of Jones (June 24, 2016) 
Matthew McConaughey in a Civil War period piece? He's picked some amazing roles (Interstellar, True Detective, Mud, etc) since he ditched the rom-com genre and this looks to continue the streak.

Finding Dory (June 17, 2016) 
It's Pixar. With the exception of The Good Dinosar (2015) their movies are incredibly written and executed. While a sequel to Finding Nemo (2003) feels slightly opportunistic, I think Pixar can do it right.

Swiss Army Man (June 17, 2016) 
There's something about a modern day Weekend at Bernie's (1989) that's hard to pass. With a cast of Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Daniel Radcliffe, and Paul Dano this might be worth watching.

AVOIDING

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (June 3, 2016) 
How are Ninja Turtle and Transformer movies still being made? Why are people still watching them?

Warcraft (June 10, 2016) 
Video game movies rarely do well. This doesn't look like it will be an exception. The trailers looked like CGI demos. That's good for the CGI, but makes the story look quite shallow.

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (June 3, 2016) 
I'm just not a fan of Samberg's style of comedy. I got burned on 7 Days in Hell (2015) (read my review), and I'm not going back for more.
