Movies: Sizing up summer films, from 'Minions' to 'Hallelujah'

Welcome to another edition of Midday at the Movies, our monthly look at films and filmmaking, with two of our favorite movie mavens: Ann Hornaday, a film critic with the Washington Post, and author of the bestselling filmgoers' guide,Talking Pictures: How to Watch Movies; and Jed Dietz, the founder and former director of the Maryland Film Festival and Parkway Theatre. Today they'll join Tom to help sort through the new crop of summer movies, from blockbuster action films and charming animations to thoughtful documentaries on the issues of the day. And we ask our listeners: What films are you watching this summer? Email us at [email protected], tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.
