Summer is finally (almost) here, and that means new movie releases! This summer there are a lot of movies hitting the big screen and they look pretty impressive. There is a wide variety of movies, but many of these films are sequels. The highly anticipated movies for summer of 2016 are getting a lot of attention, but here are a few that caught my eye.

1. "Finding Dory"

Like many kids in their teenage years and twenties, "Finding Nemo" was one of my favorite movies back in the day. I think all of us were secretly hoping there would be another movie, and I think the fact that this movie is based on Dory makes it even better.

2. "The Purge: Election Year"

Whether you love these movies or hate them, you have to admit they do get you hooked. The third movie in "The Purge" movie series comes out this summer, and I’m excited to see what they do with it this time.

3. "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates"

So this movie stars two hilarious (and good-looking) Actors, Zac Efron and Adam DeVine. Like the title says, they are in search of wedding dates for an upcoming wedding. I think that this movie looks hilarious, and I can’t wait to see what these actors bring to the table. Based on what I’ve seen from them both, I’m sure it will be a gut-buster.

4. "Ice Age: Collision Course"

one. This will be a good movie for all ages and a great movie for family movie night. These movies always seem to make me laugh and I can’t see this movie disappointing viewers.

5. "Now You See Me 2"

The prequel to this movie didn’t get as much attention as I thought it should have. I enjoyed "Now You See Me" and found that it was an easy watch. I hope to see the more intriguing material in this movie. This one will be a must-watch for me.

There are many more movies coming out this summer, so you have no excuse for boredom this summer. Like every summer, as the temperatures get hotter so do the Hollywood films. This summer will be an action-packed summer for movie theaters, and I hope that this list introduced you to new movies hitting the screen this summer.
