I have a question for you. What do you think of when you think of Summer? Sunshine, beaches, vacations, cookouts? Summer also brings on movie blockbusters. For the past year, people have been watching their favorite movies on the small screen, but that is all changing. Theaters are open and movie-goers are more than ready to buy the over-priced ticket, the over-priced popcorn and watch movies on the over-sized screen. Here are new movies coming to theaters (and streaming services) in July!

Time for a movie night out with your kids (or it can be just you – no judgement here). The two brothers are back, but this time as adults who are magically transformed back into kids for 48 hours. This sequel will for sure be a hit with the kids (or adults – once again no judgement here).
