After five months of studying, writing papers, group presentations and cup after cup of coffee and Red Bull, summer has finally arrived.
And so have the year’s most anticipated films. So far, 2012 has released some pretty epic films, from “The Hunger Games,” “21 Jump Street” and “Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax,” to name a few.
Write these dates down, as you won’t want to miss any of these movies. You might even want to see the film in the theatres more than once.
