Summer film preview: the good, the bad and Michael Bay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGM5rq_vX4U&feature=kp

Earlier this year Current State’s Emanuele Berry previewed the first half of the summer film season with John Serba, M-live entertainment reporter and film critic. Emanuele found out what the rest of the summer films have to offer.

Marvel's offering “Guardians of the Galaxy” looks like it might be a huge success despite straying from the typical superhero troupe. There is also the documentary “Life Itself” about film critic Roger Ebert and many more to look forward to.

And there are those to dread like the fake cop comedies and strange digitally manipulated ninja turtles.

John joined Current State once again to take a look at the summer films that have already made an impression and those that have yet to be released.
