Great Movies Out This Month

Tuesday, Jun 20 2023 by

June is a great time to see a movie. Whether you’re catching a matinee because school’s out, or staying out late to see a blockbuster, there’s no bad time to go to the theater. From animated stories such as Elemental to the guaranteed blockbuster Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, there are so many great choices!

As we plan our summer viewing schedule, let’s take a look at some of the celebrities starring in this month’s most anticipated movies.

Harrison Ford

With the end of the month comes one of Hollywood’s biggest summer blockbusters. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is the fifth installment of the amazing Harrison Ford-led franchise that we’ve loved since Raiders of the Lost Ark came out in 1981.

Harrison Ford has been a Hollywood rock for decades, but he hasn’t actually lived in LA in years. He bought an 800-acre ranch along the Snake River in Wyoming in the 1980s, but moved there full-time after he started dating his now-wife Calista Flockhart.

At the property, he does his own manual labor, and when his chores are done, he loves to fly his private airplane in the mountains. He’s even participated in a few aerial rescues of people stranded in the Teton Mountains! He’s a real life action hero (who is worth $300 million)!

Eva Longoria

If you’ve forgotten what a powerhouse comes in Eva Longoria’s tiny frame, you’ll certainly remember when you watch her new film Flamin’ Hot which tells the story of the man who invented Flaming Hot Cheetos! She even screened the movie with the Bidens at the White House!

Eva and her husband reportedly put their gorgeous Beverly Hills estate on the market a few moths ago. With a climate-controlled wine cellar, landscaped property, outdoor covered lounge area, and more spread across 11,000 square feet, it’s no wonder the power couple is asking $23 million, about $10 million more than they paid five years ago.

David Attenborough

The critically-acclaimed documentary narrator David Attenborough has not one but two new specials out. With the the second season of Our Planet just out on Netflix and the second season of the dinosaur spectacle Prehistoric Planet on Apple TV which came out a few weeks ago, the 96 year old historian, author, and narrator is at the top of his game!

His British accent is instantly recognizable, and he has had a long and successful career in radio and television connected to natural sciences and history. He lives in a humble, but historic, home in the Richmond area of London.

As fitting a man who loves history, the house itself has a story. In 1879, the owner of the home, a widow in her 50s, was murdered by her maid in what became a famous news story. The final pieces of the crime were actually found when renovations were being conducted at David Attenborough’s request in 2010. Very fitting that the chronicle be completed by the master storyteller himself.

Jon Hamm

Jon Hamm has moved beyond his fame as Don Draper in Mad Men and has starred in several movies since then. This month, he’s starring alongside Tina Fey in a murder mystery set in small-town Arizona. It’s a far cry from his big city persona, and this gorgeous property he bought in 2017 in Los Feliz, California.

He paid about $3.4 million for the exclusive, gated property. It’s on a cul-de-sac, has four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, and lots of modern and eco-friendly design features to help make it even more exclusive.

Scarlett Johansson

She’s been featured on here before, but she’s such a successful actor, and she’s in yet another highly-anticipated film this month. Asteroid City, the newest Wes Anderson film, is full of celebrities in addition to Scarlett, including Tom Hanks, Margot Robbie, and Jason Schwartzman.

Scarlett has a massive real estate portfolio, including this Los Feliz, California pad she’s owned since her earlier days of stardom. She paid about $3.9 million in 2014 for the 3,500 square foot secluded property on nearly an acre of land.

Indoors, the house has four bedrooms, a gorgeous master suite, a mantle carved of marble in the living room, an all-white kitchen, and views of the Hollywood sign. Outside, it has a lovely manicured lawn, a pool, and a spa, as well as a cabana for outdoor gatherings. With a net worth close to $200 million, she can have all the fancy features she wants!

June is just the start of the classic box office success season, and with these stars leading the way, it’s likely to be an excellent year for movies. The talent, legacy, and creativity of the likes of Scarlett, Harrison, and the rest will bright up the silver screen and keep us entertained all summer long!
