 I'm sure that in the sea of sf and superhero blockbusters this summer, you will find some time to watch a few smaller movies with deeply inspirational stories. Here's HOLLYWOOD SPY's selection:

WEAVING LOVE IN 360

 First, here's an unusual drama by Oscar nominated director Fernando Meirelles (THE CONSTANT GARDENER). Titled 360, the film will open in cinemas August 3rd featuring a rather stunning cast

 lead by Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins, Oscar Nominee Jude Law, Oscar winner Rachel Weisz and young Ben Foster.  Inspired by Arthur Schnitzler's classic "La Ronde", screenwriter Peter Morgan and director Fernando Meirelles' 360 combines a modern and dynamic roundelay of stories into one, linking characters from different cities and countries in a vivid, suspenseful and deeply moving tale of love in the 21st century. Starting in Vienna, the film beautifully weaves through Paris, London, Bratislava, Rio, Denver and Phoenix into a single, mesmerizing narrative. If I got it right the film weaves together the stories of an array of people from disparate social backgrounds through their intersecting relationships.

TIMOTHY GREEN

Opening August 15th is THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN You can check out the interestingly intriguing trailer for this

enchanting, inspiring, and magical story about a happily married couple, Cindy and Jim Green (Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton), who can't wait to start a family but can only dream about what their child would be like. When young Timothy (CJ Adams) shows up on their doorstep one stormy night, Cindy and Jim, and their small town of Stanleyville, learn that sometimes the unexpected can bring some of life's greatest gifts. The cast of Disney's drama also includes Dianne Wiest, Ron Livingston and rapper Common.

HOPE SPRINGS

 Yet, another of the inspiring films hitting cinemas August 10th is HOPE SPRINGS in which Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones

 play Kay and Arnold, a devoted couple: decades of marriage have left Kay wanting to spice things up and reconnect with her husband. When she hears of a renowned couple's specialist (Steve Carell) in the small town of Great Hope Springs, she attempts to persuade her skeptical husband, a steadfast man of routine, to get on a plane for a week of marriage therapy. Just convincing the stubborn Arnold to go on the retreat is hard enough - the real challenge for both of them comes as they shed their bedroom hang-ups and try to re-ignite the spark that caused them to fall for each other in the first place.

SPARKLE

I'm sure you will agree with me that musical films are always great inspiration and on August 17th you will be able to check out SPARKLE in cinemas. Featuring the last role of Whitney Houston ever, and set in the 1960s, the story of the film follows three sisters who form girl group and soon become Motown sensations, but fame becomes a challenge as the close-knit family begins to fall apart. The lead role in the movie is played by amazing music star and huge talent Jordin Sparks. Another music star Cee Lo is also in the cast of the film.
