12 Must See Movies Coming Out In Summer 2016
Hello Giggles

For most, summer is filled with beaches, family vacations and fun times with friends. But for a large amount of us summer breakers, movies are the main topic of discussion. Summer is the perfect time for studios to release their top quality and top box office films. So without a doubt, every summer, there are some great films that will reach the eyes of audiences around the globe. Here are some of the most anticipated films (and definitely must views on my part) of summer '16.

1. X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)


What's another great way to start summer than with yet another Marvel Universe movie? There is none. With the releases of "Deadpool" and "Captain America: Civil War" this year, "X-Men: Apocalypse" seems to bring the same amount of quality action. And the cast is amazing (per usual).

2. Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016)

For many people, "Alice in Wonderland" could have never been imagined as a live action film. And now, almost a decade later, audiences can rejoice again with not one, but two live action "Alice in Wonderland" films. Starring fan favorites such as Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Anne Hathaway, "Alice Through the Looking Glass" is a top contender at being number one in the box office this weekend.

3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016)

Another story that, for many, was only envisioned as a comic or cartoon, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" makes its second wave and rise in the box office this summer. Starring Megan Fox.

4. Now You See Me 2 (2016)


A movie about magic? Sign me up. If you haven't seen the first "Now You See Me," I definitely recommend it before going to see number two. Hopefully "Now You See Me 2" will bring the same 10/10 rating that the first movie had. With Morgan Freeman in it, I would say it's highly likely.

5. Finding Dory (2016)


I don't even think this movie needs a description. A sequel to any extremely popular Disney movie is always the talk of the town (or of the nation). "Finding Dory's" release has been talked about by at least everyone I know, if not globally, for a good year now. So, if you're one of the few people that hasn't seen "Finding Nemo," get to that.

6. The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

Yet another cartoon story brought to life on the big screen! "The Legend of Tarzan" is of high priority on my summer movie list. With "The Jungle Book" having such success, "Tarzan" will hopefully follow in its path.

7. The Secret Life of Pets (2016)


If you're crazy about your pets (like me) and think about what their exact thoughts are at almost every moment, this movie is for you. "The Secret Life of Pets" shows what common household pets think, talk about and do when you're gone. It also features the animators and production company that made "Despicable Me" and "Minions."

8. Ghostbusters (2016)


Another movie that honestly doesn't need a description. If you haven't heard about the "Ghostbusters" reboot, then you might be living under a rock. "Ghostbusters" stars a popular cast of ladies that will carry on the story from the original "Ghostbusters" movies in the '80s. Unfortunately, this movie has received a large amount of online hatred because of its gender bending from the original. However, I think its a great plot and an even greater idea to have a stellar group of females reprise the roles of characters that are fond to many people.

9. Star Trek Beyond (2016)


The third wave of Star Trek movies is almost upon on. "Star Trek: Beyond" brings back all of the great action and cast from the other two "Star Trek" movies. The film will also mark 50 years since the original television series was launched in 1966.

10. Bad Moms (2016)


It feels like it's been years since I've seen Mila Kunis in a movie, so I'm glad she'll finally be returning in "Bad Moms." The title of the film basically spells out the story line: moms being, well, bad. The movie stars Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn, Annie Mumolo, Jada Pinkett Smith and Christina Applegate.

11. Suicide Squad (2016)


Another movie that has been the talk of the town since its first trailer was released, and even before that. "Suicide Squad" has another amazing line up of cast members and will definitely be bringing the heat to the box office this summer. Will Smith will definitely be a key component to this film along with my favorite, Margot Robbie, who will be playing Harley Quinn.

12. Sausage Party (2016)


If you haven't watched the trailer for this film, I warn you, it's not what you think. While the majority of animated films are geared towards a younger audience, Sausage Party isn't one of them. Brought to life by Seth Rogen and James Franco, "Sausage Party" takes place in a world where food have thoughts, feelings and are basically human. At first that may seem funny, but in some ways, it's a little weird. However, "Sausage Party" looks extremely hilarious and is definitely on my must watch list of movies this summer.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
