Spring 2011 Movie Preview

In the hopes of good movies actually coming out this year, below is your movie preview for this Spring (which technically starts on March 20th, but I've added in a couple movies that have already or will release before that date). There are some exciting movies to look forward to later this year, such as "The Smurfs," scheduled to release on August 3rd, and then some. For now though, here's your preview of some movies to anticipate within the next several months.

Please note: very few movies have been excluded from the lists below.

More important note: I obviously haven't seen these movies yet, unfortunately, and therefore can't recommend any of them to you. I'm just relaying the information., i.e., disclaimer: pay $11 at your own risk.
