If you are wondering what to do this summer, you can start by making the nearest movie theatre a new home. You might even consider bringing a tent and a couple blanket to make your stay a comfortable one because this year, the movie industries are releasing a storm of sequels and new movies.

1. Captain America: Civil War

Civil War is already in Theatres seeing as it came out May 6. It features all the Avengers, including Ant-Man and Black Panther. Civil War has already garnered some of the best reviews in Marvel Studios history; having Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) against Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) certainly schooled all other movies on how to do a superhero grudge match right. Civil War definitely keeps you on your toes wondering what is going to happen next, so I would encourage you to watch.

2. The Angry Birds Movie

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
