April showers bring May films











summer comes early for Hollywood. forget June 21, with big summer movies being released, the official start of the season is now May. last May saw Iron Man and the year before that Spiderman 3. this year there are four big ones.





X-Men Origins: Wolverine. not the worst movie i've ever seen, but i was a little disapointed. do not see it unless you like the X-Men movies.

Star Trek. AWESOME!!! i've never been a trekkie. the older films i've seen are ok. however, this reboot is just what Dr. McCoy ordered. if this team can live long and prosper with more films in the future, beam me up. (i am officically a nerd).

Angels and Demons. very good. the parts of the book i thought were lame and would slow down the film were taken out. a very good quick-paced thriller.

Terminator Salvation. off the hook! at first, i have to be honest, i was skeptical. Mc "Charlies Angels" G was directing. those movies weren't the worst ever, but not the material you want to see someone doing before a Terminator film. that being said, it was excellent. i hope this team can make another film or two as well.
