May's coming up really quick which will unofficially start the summer movie season. Here's a preview of the movies I'll probably be watching plus others that are making headlines this summer.

The Lizzie McGuire Movie - Hilary Duff has made it into the big leagues. Her whole career revolves around Lizzie McGuire from how she became famous to the start of her singing career. It's only natural that Disney wants to see how she does in the feature film market. She experienced mild success co-starring with Frankie Muniz in Agent Cody Banks and this starring role should perform even better, but please, someone tell her to stop singing. (May 2)
