“The Amazing Spider-Man”

A young Peter Parker finds a clue that leads him on a path toward understanding why his parents disappeared.

The buzz: All points indicate that the latest Spider-Man movie is a little more bland than the previous three. Comic lovers may have a hard time with the reboot, and it may be one lost with other summer comic book movies eclipsing its popularity.

“Savages”

Two men who specialize in growing marijuana are forced to do battle with a Mexican drug cartel to get their girlfriend back.

The buzz: For action junkies, this is the one to see this weekend. Blake Lively turns into a sultry drug dealer’s girlfriend, and Salma Hayek only enhances the movie’s sensuality. Oliver Stone directs, so at the very least it will be cinematically brilliant.

“Katy Perry: Part of Me”

A documentary on pop singer Katy Perry.

The buzz: Documentaries very rarely make it to the mass-marketed big screen, but Perry’s is beautifully shot and is an uplifting story. For entertainment junkies, it’s a look inside a celebrity’s life. She was reportedly very active in the making of the movie, so don’t expect an expose.

“Moonrise Kingdom”

Two pre-teens fall in love and run away together into the woods. As the entire island searches for them, a storm brews off the coast.

The buzz: Wes Anderson fans should be excited. Not only is the screen play that off-kilter, strange humor that everyone has learned to love, but the cast list is speckled with hard-hitting names. Edward Norton plays a strange Boy Scout leader, Bill Murray is the girl’s slightly off father. Bruce Willis is the town sheriff. Combine that with the genius writing of Anderson and you have a cult classic waiting to happen.
