May Releases
May's here, and it's bringing more than flowers this time. After the big superhero stink kicked up by last month's Infinity War, many fans are ready to settle down a bit and laugh with everyone's favorite R-rated "hero" in his second film showing, Deadpool 2. Other big news is Star Wars's nostalgia grasp examination of the early life of arguably its most famous icon, the late great Han Solo. Other debuts include a gender-flipped version of the 1987 classic Overboard, and Melissa McCarthy's single-mom comeback tale in Life of the Party.
On television, May 6th brings new STARZ dramedy Vida about two estranged Mexican-American sisters returning to Los Angeles to bury their deceased mother, only to discover that she had a few buried secrets of her own.
In the world of video games, the long-awaited launch of the full release of Conan: Exiles will hit the nexus of platforms come May 8th. This brutal survival game with multiplayer options caused a bit of a stir with its early access launch last year, but now gamers will get the full monty (in more ways than one) as they trek across the open-world madness of the Barbarian's storied homeland.

So April's showers have left a few puddles in their wake. Will May bring the expected late spring blooms? If so, they're already off to a good start, with Guardian of the Galaxies Vol. 2 storming into theaters this coming Friday. Tailing close behind is Alien: Covenant, the follow-up to Ridley Scott's Prometheus and another notch in his pre-Alien prequel series. And, of course, the obligatory sequelitis diagnosis rounds out the big-name movies, with the latest Pirates of the Caribbean and Diary of a Wimpy Kid hedging in the last two weeks of the month.
Among the hot new games set to premiere this month, two stand out: Injustice 2, a sequel to the 2013 DC hero hit Injustice: Gods Among Us; and Prey, a re-imaging of the 2006 first-person shooter of the same name.

Ah, May. Spring's in full swing, the birds are singing, the trees are blooming...and superheros are busy smashing face in head-to-head brawls. The cinema stories for this month will undoubtedly revolve around the Marvel flicks positioned at the front and tail ends: Captain America: Civil War, out this week, and X-Men: Apocalypse on the 27th. Beyond that, we also got a couple of angry birds, a few nice guys, and the third DLC from Fallout 4, Far Harbor.
