Hot Summer Flicks to Check Out
COVID-19 caused many to miss out on a lot of things – sports, in-person classes, travel, and going to movie theaters to see new movies. With COVID-19 restrictions being lifted as vaccines are being distributed, things are returning back to normal and a part of that is theaters reopening.
Here are some movies that got pushed back or decided to come out on a third-party platform, like Disney + or HBO max, that will finally get their time to shine on the big screen:
“The Conjuring: The Devil Made me do it” – June 4th

“Spirit Untamed” – June 4th
“Spirit Untamed” is a Dream Works film going on the similar premise of the book “Black Stallion.” A young girl goes to a town where her mother was a famous horse rider. She tries to live up to what her mother was by trying to ride the most untamable horse in town.
