Many of our friends have already been infected with summeritis—so that means it’s time for summer movies to begin. We saw a few blockbusters hit theaters in May (Godzilla, X-Men:Days of Future Past, and Maleficent), but June is coming in with a unique brew of its own to get us into theaters: cancer, Ping-Pong, dragons, Bigfoot, alien robot cars, and a musical—to name a few.
So, whether you choose to checkout that indie you’ve heard so much about or the latest big studio release, don’t forget to click on the movie title below to view the trailer. We want to make sure you know what you are getting into before you head to the theater.

The Internet’s Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz (Limited)
 |
| Tim Berners-Lee as Aaron Swartz |
As a teenager, Aaron Swartz was a computer-programming prodigy with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, but sadly, he was pushed to suicide after some federal lawsuits tore his life apart. From help in the development of the basic internet protocol RSS to his co-founding of Reddit, Aaron Swartz’s fingerprints are all over the internet. But it was his groundbreaking work in social justice and political organizing combined with his aggressive approach to information access that ensnared him in a two year legal nightmare. It was a battle that ended with the taking of his own life at the age of 26. Aaron’s story touched a nerve with people far beyond the online communities in which he was a celebrity, and The Internet’s Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz (directed by Brian Knappenberger of We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists), looks like a must-see documentary telling a tale that didn’t need to end so tragically.
