The summer blockbuster season is here! “Media Services at the Movies” will look at what big movie is coming out this week, then offer a few movies like it from our collection.<\/i><\/p>\n

Summer movie season is, at last, finally upon us. Although the likely biggest movie of the year (Captain America: Civil War<\/i>) is already behind us, there are plenty of interesting movies over the new few months that we’re eager to find similar recommendations for.<\/p>\n

The big movie this week is Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising<\/i>, the Seth Rogen- and Zac Efron-fronted generational comedy sequel. As before, Rogen and Rose Byrne duel with their Greek life neighbors to keep their lives under control, but there’s a bit of melancholy to their rivalry. The Neighbors<\/i> movies are crazy and violent, but they’re also about growing, moving on, and finding yourself being the older voice of reason. In the new film, apparently even Efron’s bro character finds himself drifting from his old lifestyle.<\/p>\n

This might be an odd and controversial pairing, but to go with that introspection on growing older, we recommend a few coming-of-age films about finding yourself untethered after graduation. (We know that more than a few of our patrons will be feeling this soon, too.)<\/p>\n
