Hello, Muses!
Happy June! Although I absolutely hate hot weather (yes, I said it, I love the cold, wearing layered clothes, drinking hot tea, and snuggling under the covers while reading a book or watching a good movie!), I do love June! That's partly because my birthday is June 27th and also because I absolutely love BBQ food! Yummy, yummy!
Anyway, June starts off with a bit of a bang. The highly anticipated 3rd novel in Sylvia Day's Crossfire series called Entwined With You finally is here! Woohoo! Also, Phoenix, the sequel to Black City by Elizabeth Richards is out this week.
In movies, the next installment in the Die Hard franchise A Good Day to Die Hard starring Bruce Willis comes out in a nice blu-ray-dvd combo pack. If you are looking for some laughs, you may want to check out Identity Thief with Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy. And if you are looking for a little star crossed romance and an interesting retelling of Romeo + Juliet, Warm Bodies may just do the trick.
Finally, in television, fans of Breaking Bad: Season 5 can get their fix before the last episodes for the final season airs in August. Season 3 of Pretty Little Liars also is available this week. And if you like FX's Wilfred, you may be interested in the original Australian show of the same name. So snatch up Wilfred: The Complete Australian series on dvd. Enjoy!
Best Wishes,

Now Danny is left alone, with only his

Warm Bodies
Directed by: Jonathan Levine
Starring: Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer
If true love is meant to be, what does it matter if one is human and the other a zombie?
Warm Bodies is a pretty delightful, tongue-in-cheek romantic comedy loosely based on
Romeo and Juliet.
But the Capulets and Montagues have much more in common than do R, the
hipster zombie boy character (played by Nicholas Hoult), and Julie
(Teresa Palmer), a girl human.
Warm Bodies takes place after the zombie apocalypse (of course), and on the surface it appears to be
Twilight
for zombie fans. Happily, writer-director Jonathan Levine has taken the
concept a step further than the novel by Isaac Marion. As a result,
Warm Bodies
is just self-aware enough to keep the whole idea from being too
precious. The viewer knows that the two young leads were born to be
together--if they can work with their hearts
and their brains.
Complicating matters is the fact that Julie's dad (John Malkovich,
having a wickedly good time) is the boss of all the humans fighting the
zombies. Let's just say Julie definitely has her work cut out for her.
Warm Bodies will thrill younger viewers who adore
Twilight, but fans of great romantic comedies with a light touch will like it just as much.

Starring: Troian Bellisario, Alshley Benson
As the third season begins, a summer has passed since Aria, Emily, Hanna
and Spencer found out about Mona being "A" and the death of Maya. With
the terror seemingly over and an alleged murderer now behind bars, the
town of Rosewood is slowly healing from old and new wounds. Each of the
four girls spent their summer in different ways -- with Aria taking a
photography class, Spencer taking college courses at Hollis, Hanna
taking cooking classes with Caleb and Emily building houses in Haiti.
But what looks "normal" for each girl is not necessarily so, as all four
are hardly over what happened. With post-traumatic stress, anger and
the acquisition of more secrets, the four girls are anything but fine.
Now back together and coming upon the second anniversary of Alison's
disappearance, the girls find themselves back on the defensive when a
shocking event rocks Rosewood.

Vexed: Series 2
Starring: Toby Stephens, Miranda Raison
Two bickering cops make one great team
London cop Jack Armstrong (Toby Stephens,
Jane Eyre,
Die Another Day)
has been assigned a new partner, and he's not happy about it. Worried
that "George" will cramp his freewheeling style and tell him how to do
his job, Jack is shocked to meet bright, beautiful DI Georgina Dixon
(Miranda Raison,
MI-5) instead.
The two detectives
couldn't be more different. He's a slacker; she's a fast-tracker. He's
cocky, she's cool. He's slovenly, sexist, and set in his ways. She's
smart, self-reliant, and serious about her career. In spite of
themselves, they learn to work together, solving a murder at a car
dealership and the gruesome death of a headmaster at an exclusive
school, among other cases. Stephens and Raison "fairly crackle" (
The Independent, U.K.) with chemistry in this British buddy cop drama with a twist.
