10 Top Movie and TV Picks for July8 of 10
Hot Summer Nights | Premieres in U.S. theaters Friday, July 27
Few actors shone as brightly as Timothée Chalamet did in 2017, where he starred in two films that were nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, earning a Best Actor nomination himself. Needless to say, we're eager to see more of the talented actor, who is expected to return to the forefront of awards-season chatter with Amazon's Beautiful Boy, set to debut this fall. His first 2018 release, in the meantime, is Elijah Bynum's Hot Summer Nights, a moody, atmospheric coming-of-age story set in the early 1990s. Chalamet plays Daniel, a kid who's sent off to Cape Cod for the summer to blow off some steam after his dad's death but who promptly finds himself ensnared in the seductive web of mayhem spun by a drug-dealing neighbor. Indie fave Maika Monroe co-stars. — Bret
