COMING SOON: May 2011

Here we are. Finally. It’s summer, folks! Whether or not your climate shows it, your local theaters don’t care. From Asgardians to Pirates, the expected blockbusters are here, but among them are a load of limited release indies and docs that may wind up becoming sleeper hits. It actually looks like a pretty solid month in terms of variety. As usual, the IMDB links are provided below. What films are you most looking forward to in May?
