May is gearing up to be a good months for comedy and superhero fans everywhere. May’s comedy slate consists of Neighbors, a film about Seth Rogen battling a neighborhood frat menace (played by Zac Efron) who is wrecking havoc on Rogen’s cul de sac with his wild parties and reckless antics. The film is being produced by Rogen and his writing partner Evan Goldberg, the duo behind such hits as Pineapple Express (2008) and This is The End (2012), so it should stand out as a solid early summer hit. Family Guy and Ted (2012) creator Seth MacFarlane will return to the silver screen as a director/actor on May 30th in A Million ways to Die in The West, a film that appears to just be about the ridiculously dangerous nature of the wild west. A Million Ways will feature the likes of Neil Patrick Harris, Charlize Theron, Sarah Silverman, and the incomparable Liam Neeson. Based on the trailer the film will basically be a live action family guy story set in the west, so if you’re a fan of MacFarlane’s  moronic   unique sense of humor this is the film for you.

Super hero fans will get a double dose of Marvel next month with the X-men Brigade and everyone’s favorite webslinger Spiderman return to the screen within three weeks of each other.  The Amazing Spiderman 2 hits theaters on May 2nd and features Spiderman (Andrew Garfield) pit against Electro, played by Jamie Foxx, in a battle royal that spans across the streets of New York City and features some other familiar Marvel villains. The X-men will hit the screen in X-men: Days of Future Past in a story that is just as confusing as the title sounds. The movie insider.com synopsis for the film states that “The story is partially set in an alternate future where surviving mutants have been penned in concentration camps, giant robots called Sentinels patrol America, and most of the X-Men have been hunted and killed. In the present day, the X-Men were forced to stop a key event from unfolding in order to keep that future from occurring”, so basically this is going to be a wild time travel story where nothing makes sense. Regardless of this I’m sure the film is going to have cool special effects, battle scenes, and some crazy explanations for why they had to time travel, so it’s worth seeing just for that. Days of Future Past hits theaters May 23rd.
