Indi Summer Movie Guide

While I will probably be seeing several blockbusters this summer (Wolverine, Up, Star Trek, Harry Potter, etc.) it seems that there has been a plethora of potentially good smaller budgeted, indi-like films on the horizon. So here is a list of eight films I will be keeping my eye on (though will probably wait for DVD):
