SPONSORED ENTRY: The Sorcerer's Apprentice
If you go hog wild over Hogwarts, or freak out over the Cirque du Freak series, or thank the gods for The Lightning Thief, then you're probably psyched about the new movie The Sorcerer's Apprentice hitting theaters July 14th.
In this movie, Balthazar (played by Nicholas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern day New York City. He's trying to defend the city from his nemesis Maxim (played by Alfred Molina whom you may remember as Doc Ock in Spiderman 2!) but he can't do it alone. So he recruits a boy named Dave, a self-proclaimed physics nerd who has no interest in being a hero. Mix in some magic, lots of action, great CGI effects, and of course the ancient evil forces of darkness, and what do you get? The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Plus, the movie was created by the same people who did National Treasure (rated PG), including the uber-famous Jerry Bruckheimer who did the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy (rated PG-13) and Armageddon (rated PG-13). Ok, enough name dropping.

Take a look at this action shot straight from the movie. Alfred Molina is the fire-breathing, evil villain who battles Balthazar and Dave. But you might not think so from this picture. What do you imagine he is thinking? Leave your caption in the Comments!

That book looks like an awesome book to read this summer. I love adventure books. Especially when something happens that the hero has to fix.

okay then! COOL, I guess!
well my question is how do they even write this thing???? I have actually seen The Lightning Thief and by what I have heard The Sorcerer's Apprentice is going to be even better! I am so excited but Im surprised I had only heard of this movie couple times, and I would have never imagined it would be on the Scholastic Summer Reading blog! Of course I would rather read the book but after that it is always cool to watch the movie to have a better imagination of it. In fact I am in the fourth grade and most people in my class are in book club (unfortunately I am not!)and I think the last book they read was The Lightning Thief! Well anyways the blog was good and I will see you soon!!! ;)
