This weekend is the kickoff of the eclectic summer movie season. In the coming weeks you can expect the likes of Ocean's 13, The Simpsons Movie and Knocked Up.

This weekend you won't be able to get away from Walt Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. It will be seen in 4,362 theaters, according to boxofficemojo.com. On the other end of the spectrum — artistically and commercially — Miramax's Golden Door will be seen in two theaters, with more additions as the summer rolls on.

I spoke with NPR's Bob Mondello. He has seen both movies and has a very personal connection to one of them. Take a listen.
