Summer is right around the corner and while others rejoice with the return of warm days and hot fun in the sun, this is usually around the time I start getting depressed. Why, you ask? Because I actually HATE the heat. Yes, that's right, I am a fall and winter kind of girl. But I do have a few things that I enjoy in the summer that helps me get by. One is my birthday which is next month (June 27th). I also love going to BBQ's and eating BBQ food. Nothing can beat the taste of grilled food! And my last saving grace just so happens to be...SUMMER MOVIES!
This summer there are going to be some great new movies hitting theaters, big budget blockbusters and independent films alike. I wanted to share with everyone my most anticipated summer movies, starting with June. Below are my top five, in order by release date. Are any of these movies on your list to see?
