2013 LATE SPRING MOVIE GUIDE

America’s Greatest Family Resort prepares for an Epic start to summer, inviting imaginative characters along for the most thrilling ride. Our shore-loving cast shouts Now You See Me, now you don’t to studio movie executives on their way to our beach haven, thrilled to be on vacation from harsh lights and Hollywood drama. Fortunately, they arrive long Before Midnight, following a Strek Trek Into Darkness that reveals sparkling sunlight. Summer has yet to turn on The Heat, as a soft sea breeze welcomes them to town. They quickly learn Rodeo Drive’s got nothing on Asbury Avenue and spend much of their spring break shopping and sightseeing. Trading their movie passes for beach tags, the cast glows straight into the summer of 2013, surrounded by soothing natural sunbeams, as well as their own supernatural starlight.

Before following the light to the nearest star-studded movie theater, please check your local listings for release date changes…

Industrialist Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man (3, Robert Downey, Jr., opens May 3rd) finds strength at the Ocean City Triathlon/Duathlon after enduring a personal attack at the hands of The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) and must rely on his own special survival skills to save his loved ones.

Also heard throughout the wooded area are Beyonce Knowles and Steven Tyler.

A group of illusionists (including Woody Harrelson and Isla Fisher) catch sight of summer at Martin Z. Mollusk Day before pulling off bank heists during their performances, declaring Now You See Me (opens June 7th) to the amazement of the FBI agents on their trail (including Mark Ruffalo).

Before becoming gainfully employed at Monsters Inc., and spending their salaries at the Boardwalk & Downtown Merchant Table Sales, best friends Mike and Sully (voices of Billy Crystal and John Goodman) were competitive students at Monsters University (opens June 21st).

The (comedic) Heat (opens June 28th) is on during the Unlocking of the Ocean and Business Persons Plunge for both a tense FBI agent (Sandra Bullock) and a testy Boston cop (Melissa McCarthy) forced to work together to bring down a drug lord.

Time spent beneath The SUN and stars has done wonders for the movie gang, who unanimously declare Word War Z on studio sets and script reading. To celebrate their brief-retirement, The Great Gatsby throws the greatest party on the Boardwalk, where the Man of Steel and Iron Man (3) entertain the crowd by lifting family-friendly rides off the ground. Meanwhile, the students from Monsters University pretend they’re not afraid to reach for the sky on the great Ferris Wheel. As the partygoers sail (in Nights in Venice) toward another fabulous Ocean City season, they wish upon the brightest star their time by the sea will last all summer long…
