Summarizing Summer Movies
Clip: 7/30/2014 | 14m 21s
We look at the films that got people talking and put people into theater seats.
Usually summer means big box office blockbusters. But those big budget movies took a backseat to the more nuanced films like "Boyhood" and "The Fault In Our Stars." We talk to the Daily Herald's Dann Gire and Jeanne Kaplan of Kaplan vs. Kaplan about their favorite films of the summer and what to watch out for this fall.
