Spring movies are rarely noteworthy, but there are a few coming out in the next couple of months I’d like to see, including Starsky and Hutch, Spartan, Hellboy, Kill Bill Vol. 2, and The Punisher That last one is on the list only because I can’t imagine how Frank Castle can be translated to screen — I think he is one of the least sympathetic superheroes ever created. Don’t get me wrong — I think that’s a good thing, I just don’t see it going over well with movie audiences.

The San Fransisco Chronicle has a spring movie sneak peek to help you get up to speed.
