We’re at a great time of the year vis a vi movies. The horses are approaching the starting gate, so to speak, and all the big summer blockbusters will soon open, week after week after week, all the way through to September.

Unlike the December movie avalanche, when studios' "quality" films arrive, looking for Oscars -- this is the time the big studios roll out their blockbusters. Most won't win nominations beyond technical achievements. But they sure will attract millions.

First up, of course, are movies like "Iron Man," "Speed Racer" and "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian." Even bigger is likely to be "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." The movie version of "Sex and the City" will surely appeal to a different audience but for a romantic comedy sort of film, with no special effects, it's likely to be a blockbuster as well.

"The Incredible Hulk," "Get Smart" (taken from the TV comedy co-created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry) "The Love Guru" with Mike Myers, and "You Don't Mess With the Zohan" with Adam Sandler will be among June's biggest opening.

The Fourth of July falls on a Friday this year; perfect for a huge weekend at the movies. The month will bring, among others, "Hancock" with Will Smith, who only makes big movies, Heath Ledger and Christian Bale in "The Dark Knight," and another "X Files" movie subtitled: "I Want to Believe."

August brings another "Mummy" movie and a Seth Rogen comedy called "Pineapple Express". Those are just a few of the many movies we'll be covering in "REEL TALK." Let the movie avalanche begin!
