April:
Fast and Furious (April 3)
TK's take: I was a fan of the original Fast and the Furious and must say am kind of eager to see this movie. This movie brings back all the familiar faces in which is sure to be a movie loaded with hot babes and fast cars. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are forced to team up again as another enemy presents itself to them. From what I hear this looks to be the final movie in this franchise and should go out with a bang. From what the trailers show, this movie looks to be chalk full of action and insane looking cars. Worth checking out!

Adventureland (April 3)
TK's take: This movie looks hilarious, and how can it not be? This movie is helmed by the director of 'Superbad' so you know it's going to be funny. The cast is full of familiar faces including Ryan Reynolds, Kristen Stewart, Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig. The movie focuses on a college graduate who just doesn't have the money or the skills to go on his dream vacation so as a result has to find a job. He takes a low paying job at this theme park and there meets some people he never knew existed. This movie should be full of laughs and one-liners and is one I'll definitely be checking out.

Observe and Report (April 10)
TK's take: Seth Rogen fans will flock to this movie, and that includes me. The trailer that was attached to 'I Love You, Man' had me laughing out loud more then once and the movie looks to be amazing, and far better then Paul Blart: Mall Cop, or whatever that movie was called. Anna Faris, Ray Liotta and Michael Pena also star. Rogen plays a rather proud head of security mall guard who is determined to find a male flasher and bring him to justice and will stop at nothing to accomplish it. I think that putting Rogen and Faris together is going to be quite a comedy dynamic duo and should lead Observe and Report straight to the top of the box office and be another hit for Rogen and co.

State of Play (April 17)
TK's take: This movie looks worth seeing strictly for the cast it boasts. Russell Crowe, Rachel McAdams, Jeff Daniels, Jason Bateman, Helen Mirren and Ben Affleck all star in this drama. This movie centers around a Congressman's mistress who is murdered and a investigation is launched. The movie dives into the twisted world of politics and secrets will be uncovered that no one knew existed and if let out would be devastating. If you're a fan of drama and suspense this movie looks to deliver in both categories and will definitely be a must see this April.

The Soloist (April 24)
TK's take: This movie was originally supposed to be released around Christmas last year but was pushed back because the studio thought it would make more money if released during the spring. This movie generated a lot of Best Picture buzz when it was screened and who could blame it? The movie stars Robert Downey Jr., and Jaime Foxx. Downey plays a journalist who comes across a homeless man playing his violin (Foxx). We learn that he was once this musical prodigy but a series of events unfolded that led him to lesser circumstances. Together the two form this amazing relationship as Downey's character sets out to help Foxx's character become known not only to him but to share his gift with the world. This movie should definitely be considered again for not only best picture but for it's acting as well. This movie will certainly be one of the better movies of the entire year!
