Summer movies preview 2012

By Wesley Morris and Ty Burr, Globe Staff Remember last year when it seemed as though “Bridesmaids” would herald some exciting new era in which women would have a bigger stake in the summer? Oh well.

But really, it’s the summer boys’ club 2012. What follows is a seasonal guide to movies, plus everything else to expect when you’re expecting.
