• X-Men Origins: Wolverine
You've been waiting for it. I've been waiting for it. Everyone (except those naughty folks that saw the leaked version) has been waiting for it. This month, we finally get to see if the wait has been worth it.

Hugh Jackman takes the step away from the original X-Men franchise to share some Wolverine history and possibly lead us down the dicey path to a zillion other X-Men Origins films. It would be cool to see a Magneto or Cyclops film, I guess, but do we really care about the origins of Bolt or Emma Frost? (By the way, Videohound has a great list of Origins movies they'd like to see. I'm in total agreement on a Kill Bill Origins: Bill)

Alamo Drafthouse (both locations) will have special midnight screenings on opening day.

Opens: May 1
Who should see it? Mutants and those who love them

• Star Trek
I'm hoping this movie (the eleventh film in the Star Trek franchise) will surprise me and break the Star Trek movie curse. Especially since we lost Ricardo Montalban, one of the stars of the greatest Star Trek movie of all time, earlier this year.

Alamo Drafthouse (both locations) will have special midnight screenings on opening day.

Opens: May 7
Who should see it? Trekkies (or are they calling themselves 'Trekkers' again?), sci-fi buffs, Fantasy Island enthusiasts

• Angels & Demons
Enough already with the Dan Brown best sellers.

For possibly the first time in my life, the Pope and I are in total agreement. Neither of us will probably see this movie. (Maybe I should invite him over for wine and a DVD instead? Rosemary's Baby perhaps?)

First it was Opus Dei, now it's the Illuminati. Tom Hanks walks around looking like he just wet himself, while nonsensical "mysteries" involving numbers, religion, not-so-secret societies and/or famous artwork are revealed.

BTW, Dan Brown just finished his third Langdon book. Damn.

Opens: May 15
Who should see it? Dan Brown."So you say the restroom is over here, right?"

• UP
Pixar can do no wrong in my book. Likewise for Christopher Plummer, Ed Asner and Delroy Lindo.

If this movie sinks instead of floats, I'll likely blame it on Disney.

Opens: May 29
Who should see it? Anyone with a heart. Or a grandpa.

• Terminator: Salvation
Know what's funny? When corporations team up with movie studios to bring you ridiculous contests. This time Pizza Hut brings you a chance to win a trip to the Hollywood premiere of Terminator. Because mass market pizza and murderous death machines have a lot in common.

Opens: May 21. And if your name happens to be Sarah Connor or John Connor, you get a free pizza or something.
Who should see it? Apparently children, since it has an official PG-13 rating.

• Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past
Look, it's John Tucker Must Die except with middle-age actors. Has Jennifer Garner's career latched on to the anchor that is Ben Affleck's career and is now plummeting to the murky depths of Gigli-esque romantic tragedies comedies? Or was she just distracted by the fact that Matty McConaughey has a shirt on?

Opens: May 1
Who should see it? Ben Affleck and anyone who has Failure to Launch in their Netflix queue.

• Drag Me to Hell
First of all, this movie looks awesome. And I mean awesome in a 'back to the old horror flick formula' sort of way. Though it is possible that the scariest thing in the trailer is Justin Long's haircut. Sam Raimi rocks my world (And Spiderman 3 never happened).

Opens: May 1
Who should see it? People who like to be scared stupid. Or people who want to avoid Hell.
