Summer movie preview

As summer is quickly approaching, it’s not only bringing the hot weather, but the hottest movies as well. It looks like the beach won’t be the only popular place this summer…According to comingsoon.net, one movie in particular, Julie and Julia, seems to interest users on the site with many positive comments. The movie is based on Julie Powell’s book, Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen. Julie Powell (Amy Adams) needs to spice up her life. What better way to do that than to spend a full year cooking hundreds of meals? Julie decides to cook all 524 of Julia Child’s (Meryl Streep) recipes in her 1961 classic cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. She soon realizes that cooking isn’t very simple. She learns how to put the perfect touch on every meal and begins to view cooking in a very different light. Want to know where this new hobby will take Julie? Check out Julie and Julia in theatres August 7.

Defiant, after a couple glasses of champagne, Beth picks a coin from a “fountain of love” and is caught under a love spell. A businessman (Danny DeVito), a street magician (Jon Heder), a painter (Will Arnett) and a self-admiring model (Dax Shepard) are found chasing after Beth fighting for her love. But all along, a charming reporter (Josh Duhamel), whom she met at her sister’s wedding, is falling for her. Want to know who Beth ends up with? This movie also hits theatres on August 7.

The students are back at school for their sixth year and encounter more danger than ever. Voldemort is becoming stronger and has a tight grip on both the magical and muggle worlds.
