Let’s review the summer movies
While we were away on summer vacation, many movies made a splash in the box offices as we made splashes in the pool. Let’s review!
Nerve
“Are you a watcher or a player?” has become an iconic quote of the summer. Originally based off of the novel by Jeanne Ryan, Nerve starring Emma Roberts and Dave Franco, directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, has become a summer smash hit.
