In the following pages, we’ve set out a small sample of what you can expect to see at the movies this summer, from A to X-Men. With M:I-2 already in theatres, the action season has hit full-throttle — but what may surprise you are all the romances, children’s films, auteur directors, and comedies coming your way. They’re all over the map. They’re raring to go. And they’re always subject to change — so although these Austin release dates are correct as of press time, don’t be surprised if Mr. Studio Suit pulls a switcheroo on some of these dates come July or August.
