April has not been a good month for films so far. "12 Rounds", "Adventureland", "Sugar", "Gigantic", "Observe And Report", "Dragonball Evolution" and "Crank 2: High Voltage" have all been released and have managed to fare rather badly at the box office so far this month for various reasons while really crappy flicks have dominated at the box office for the most part. This means that a lot of films will be out of theaters and on their way to your local mailbox via Netflix, Redbox or local Blockbuster (who are in trouble BTW) circa this July.
Since the quality independent films are already slated to come out on DVD this summer that means a shorter wait to see "Lymelife", "Sleep Dealer" and "American Violet". Since "State Of Play" has actually managed to find an audience it might not be released until August or so. Either way, these are the films that I'm actually looking forward to seeing . Add to that list "Tyson", "The Soloist" and I'm kinda intrigued about "The Informers" which could potentially go either way as well.
Right now, flicks like "Hanna Montana: The Movie" and the Zac Efron vehicle "17 Again" rule the box office and on Friday "Fighting" and "Obsessed" both open. I don't really expect either film to do well out of the gate and they both might just flop in their opening weekends. That'll just mean more titles available come July or August for me. Enough of my complaining about the quality of films currently in theaters and let's get to my recommendations already!Films I recommend in theaters (4.15.09-4.30.09) or to add to your queue early or for rental from either Netflix or Redbox:

Rent/Watch these movies at your own risk:
X-Men Trilogy [Blu-Ray]: Watch the X-Men films get progressively worse while they butcher the source material...this time in Blu-Ray!
Squidbillies, Vol. 2: Minya, this Squidbillies shit is retarded! © Cam'ron (sorta)
Bride Wars: You almost had me...Kate Hudson AND Anne Hathaway in the same flick? Nice try, though.
Hotel For Dogs: Minya, this Hotel For Dogs shit is retarded! © Cam'ron (kinda)
The Da Vinci Code [Blu-Ray]: The book was better. The book in Blu-Ray would be incredible! This movie, however sucks balls (no Annie Cruz)
The Uninvited: Pro: Elizabeth Banks was absolutely hilarious in this Con: This was a horror film and NOT a comedy.
17 Again: Minya, this Zac Efron shit is retarded! © Cam'ron (kinda sorta)
Obsessed: "90210" has taught us all that a Black man's penis can drive a White girl crazy. In this film, he didn't even get to stick it in yet! (allegedly).
Fighting: Minya, this Channing Tatum shit is retarded! © Cam'ron (beating a dead horse with another 1/2 dead horse until THAT horse is dead too)
Coming (relatively) Soon To A Theater (or computer) Near You:
One.
