"The Land Before Time" (May 1)

"Mystic River" (May 1)
This tense crime thriller by Clint Eastwood stars Sean Penn as an ex-con who sets out to find his daughter's killer after she's murdered.

"Notting Hill" (May 1)

"Zombieland" (May 1)
Director Ruben Fleischer combines zombie know-how with comedy to deliver a fun addition to the post-apocalyptic genre. And it doesn't hurt that Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin are all great in it too.
"Layer Cake" (May 13)

"Sleight" (May 16)
This clever drama follows a street magician (Jacob Latimore) whose illegal activities lead to his sister being kidnapped, at which point he has to use his skills in magic to save the day.
