As far as I can recall, I have never written a spring preview, because the season has always been nothing but a dumping ground for movies the studios knew wouldn’t fare well against the competition during any other time of year. American distributors have been trying for years to change that, though, by dotting the February through April months with releases that entice more moviegoers to the theater. This year, the spring season (as defined by the movie calendar) releases range from genuinely promising to at least interesting.
