Sincerely, Sara | Style & Books: Watch | Read

June is my birthday month, so I'll be celebrating all month long by seeing a movie every single weekend! Well, I wish that was true! Since I also need to save money for a few books I want to get (ie. The Shadow Queen and The Queen of Hearts), I'll probably just see Me Before You and Finding Dory.

MOVIES

Me Before You

Will Traynor (Sam Claflin) was a successful, wealthy man who enjoyed all aspects of his life until being paralyzed in an accident. Two years later, Louisa Clark (Emilia Clarke) loses her job at a local café and is offered a unique employment opportunity: help care for a disabled man. Camilla Traynor hires Louisa as caretaker for her son Will, despite her lack of experience. It starts an unlikely and beautiful friendship. {Watch the trailer} I read the book as soon as the trailer came out a few months ago. I'll definitely need to bring tissues. *cries just thinking about it* (June 3)

Now You See Me 2

The Four Horsemen, the remarkable magicians, resurface and are forcibly recruited by a tech genius to pull off their most impossible heist yet. {Watch the trailer} I loved the first movie, so I will definitely be seeing this. And Daniel Radcliffe is in it! And Lizzy Caplan! (June 10)

Finding Dory

The friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish, Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres), suddenly recalls her childhood memories. Accompanied by Nemo and Marlin (Hayden Rolence and Albert Brooks), she sets out to find her family and everyone learns a few things about the real meaning of family along the way. {Watch the trailer} Childhood memories returning! Need to see this! (June 17)

Tickled

Journalist David Farrier stumbles upon a mysterious tickling competition online. As he delves deeper he comes up against fierce resistance, but that doesn't stop him getting to the bottom of a story stranger than fiction.{Watch the trailer} This documentary looks insane! From the trailer, it seems like something funny, but it quickly becomes something scary. I'm so curious about this. (June 17)

Independence Day: Resurgence

Twenty years later, the United Nations creates the Earth Space Defense (ESD), a united global defense program that serves as Earth's early warning system and the main defense force using technology salvaged from remains of the alien forces. However, the aliens were able to send a distress signal to their other battalions before their final defeat. The aliens in deep space received the signal and sent a larger and more powerful battle fleet, threatening the human race, this time, with an extremely powerful gravitational machine. {Watch the trailer} Wow I can't believe the first film came out in 1996 when I was 7. Not sure this movie was needed, but it looks pretty epic! (June 24)
