Sure there are a couple of big tentpoles on my list, but by and large the early action movie offerings aren’t really catching my attention too much (you’ll notice- despite my review of it yesterday- that Amazing Spider-man 2 never made it on here). I don’t think there’s any reason for it; there are plenty of good blockbusters out in the wild this year, but not as many as I remember from my teenage years. Thankfully the indie scene is more than willing to offer some alternatives, so there are still some nice options on the table as I wait for the big guns to hit the screen.
