Movies-and-More: May 2008
This is a new monthly feature that I will be posting at the beginning of each month, highlighting the releases of film, books and music to earn the "And-More" aspect of this blog. Comics are my true passion, but I do have other interests, so below you will find release dates, my box office predictions and trailers for films, as well as release dates for CDs, books and DVDs, among other things...
