A rather gloomy box office in April inevitably leads to the blossoming month of May, and this year will be no exception. Last week Iron Man showed us that an ex-playboy with a substance abuse problem can play a fictional playboy with a substance abuse problem with superpowers and net over 100 million in one weekend. Join us on a fantastical spring journey that will take us to the future, Narnia, and even Connecticut (one of the settings for the highly anticipated Indiana Jones sequel).

Oh, and check out these YouTube trailers too.
