What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). It's a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. -- (C) Official Site",

Hi! This API is pretty much exactly what I want, but it only seems to show upcoming movies for this month, whereas on the site you can choose various month's upcoming movies. Is there anyway of choosing these months, or is it possible to show all upcoming movies for 2011? Many thanks

Hello! I have the same question that was asked 2 year ago. Is it possible to get all upcoming movies for whole year? Thanks.
