The wafting warm weather is nearly here and it is time for the thoughts of all to turn to... movies. Yes, the summer movie season is about to descend upon the film-going public in force over the next few months, with the release of the box-office blockbusters. The opening of the Vin Diesel/Paul Walker sequel, Fast Five, last week and the much anticipated Thor this week has the cycle already off to a good start, but there is much more to come.
Here is a sample of some of the more interesting flicks to watch out for.
