<i>Star Trek</i>: With <i>X-Men Origins: Wolverine</i>, <i>Star Trek</i> and <i>Terminator Salvation</i> all opening within the first twenty-one days of the month, May has the feel of Geek Apocalypse.

Early word on the franchise reboot has been strong and you can practically smell the popcorn coming off the trailer. Dare we say: beam us up? (May 8th)

Break out the SPF 50! The summer movie season starts in earnest this weekend with the openings of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and, frankly, we could not be more excited.
