Phillip's Flicks
With Phillip Moss
Dear Movies Goers,
I am very excited about the month of May and all the “cool” movies that will be in the theaters! My main highlights will be “Iron Man”, “Speed Racer”, “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” and “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”.
I think I am more excited about the new Indiana Jones movie than any of them (although I will be seeing all of them) because it has been 20 years since the last “Raiders” movie. I am anxious to see what Steven Spielberg and George Lucas has come up with in this classic montage! Of course, it's going to be between “Chronicles” and “Indiana” at the box office this month for 1 st place; can't wait to see the results!
Other movies of May are: “Possessions”-5/1, “Spring Breakdown”-5/1, “Redbelt”-5/2, “Made of Honor”-5/2, “Son of Rambow”-5/2, “What Happens In Vegas”-5/9, “Surfwise”-5/9, “The Tracey Fragment”-5/9, “The Fall”-5/9, “College”-5/11, “Sex and the City: The Movie”-5/30.
The weather is getting nicer and warmer; get out and enjoy a flick this month, especially the ones listed below which are recommended for the whole family!

See you at the Theater!
Peace out,
