Sweet! Is it finally the third blood and ice cream, or just another thing they're doing?LogicNProportion said:2011 is looking damn good for movies.
I can't stop smiling, especially for Simon Pegg & Nick Frost's Paul. I've missed those two...
Things to Come

- Start date
Sucker Punch looks amazing. I'm curious to see if it's a success or failure, but I will definitely enjoy it either way. It's like they took everything that was ever awesome and put it all in the same movie. Cannot wait.
Can't wait for Paul, Captain America, and Thor, but everything else leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Another Pirates movie? Nah. Transformers? Pssh. Hopefully some good under-the-radar movies will pop up.

The B-52s. The Samurai robots. The dragon. The mobsters. The chicks. Its so weird I have to see it.Gunnyboy said:
New Transformer movie...maybe it will be on par with the first? I thought the first was okay, and it's hard to mess up Shockwave...(turns back to Shockwave spotlight comic...that was epic)hmmm...(sends Michael Bay a copy of said comic for guidance). He's still supposed to be a major villain right?
Your Highness looks like a rental. Not sure I want to pay theater prices, but I'll definetly try to rent it.
Green Hornet might be the same way, but I'll probably still see it in theaters if the reviews are decent.
Does anyone have the faintest idea of what Sanctum is? Besides having divers?
And then Captain America, Thor, and Green Lantern. Two of those will most likely be awesome. The third is a solid maybe...
Looks at third page...
Oh dear god. Yet another movie that will lead gullible people to say "Oh noes...Everyone in the south is a backwards redneck who can't form logical sentences and loves the confederacy *GASP* [sub](not sarcastically, for air)[/sub] and wants all democrats to die and forms lynch mobs and everyone is a racist and everyone is evil! OH NO!
Seriously, the only time this has worked was that family guy episode. They go to the south, made a bunch of jokes based off of stereotypes, but gave the people redeeming qualities at the end. It's extremely bad when the best case of stereotyping the south (from my experience) is Family Guy.
Yeah, that film isn't looking to push any buttons. Ugh..won't be able to say the region I live in/political stance for another year after this comes out.
Hmm? You said there's a Bieber movie, a new Twilight film, Big Momma, and a Smurfs movie? I don't recall reading that. You must be delusional.

January: I will see The Mechanic, and I will probably hate it.
February: I highly doubt that I'll enjoy this Unknown more than I did the 2005 movie with the same title.
March: I can't decide which movie I'm more excited for, Sucker Punch or Paul.
April: I still cannot get over that title. I'll see it, I'll hate it, I'll forget it, in that order.
May: This is the first I've heard of Priest. I doubt I'll like it unless they go full camp and ramp up the goofiness.
June: I have been looking forward to First Class since I first read about it on IMDB not long after I saw X-Men 3.
July: Why did it take so long before someone thought to mag a big budget showdown between aliens and cowboys?
August: Fright Night is getting a remake? Good. That'll give me incentive to watch the original, a movie I've owned for about 9 months.
September: The original Straw Dogs is a movie I really want to see. Now I suddenly have a deadline to see it...
October: Well, I do love Paul W.S. Anderson more than the average bloke, so I'll give this a shot.
November: I hated Happy Feet. There's a decent chance I won't see it's sequel.
December: So far the odd-numbered Mission Impossible movies have been the good ones. Will this even-numbered M:I buck the trend?
Coincidentally, I was 12 years old for two days in 2001[footnote]for those of you who aren't good at math and don't know the Gregorian calendar, this means my 23rd birthday is tomorrow.[/footnote]. At the time I didn't know who Vin Diesel was and I was more a fan of the 'Taker and The Big Show in the WWF.

Hadn't heard Favreau walked from Iron-Man 3 yet. Good for him. You could see the Marvel vs Director struggle in IM2, what with all the shoe horning. They kept that one afloat in the end, I don't see it holding up in another installment though. Stark should do his thing in the Avengers and then let Iron-Man rest for a while. Yeah, right, fat chance... Marvel is taking the same approach with its movies as it did with its comics. It'll all come crashing down soon and then they'll have to reboot the lot.
Please prove me wrong.
Your Highness = Zooey and Natalie in a Tenth Kingdom-esque thing? What the? Why haven't I heard of this yet? Why isn't Kiera Knightley in this as well so they can complete my fave actress trifecta? Ditch the guys while you're at it. Who needs them? Then add Kate Beckinsale while you're at it. I can also see this movie failing horribly. Like Rutger Hauer's sad appearance in the above mentioned film.
Fast Five is hilarity on wheels. Its irony hopped up on dope with a hula hoop. And a load of guys who'll make this a profitable movie will entirely miss this aspect and create an entirely surreal mini-universe at each showing.
August's line-up made me laugh out loud. Dear me, does that month always get saddled with the stuff they've got left over after the real blockbusters opened in July? It reads like the list of worst stuff of the year all balled up into one month so you can just skip visiting the cinema then entirely and be done with it.
The Three Musketiers with Orlando Bloom? That's basically a remake of the Disney version then. And they'll never beat that one. "Rochefort? Isn't that a smelly kind of cheese?" "All for one and more for me!"
Might see:
Pirates of the Carribean 4 (hey Kiera!)
Your highness
Sucker Punch
Men Who Hate Women (I really don't like the title Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Blomkvist is your main character and Salander is his Kato to Green Hornet style uber-sidekick, it's only in the second movie/book that Salander takes the main stage, not in the first, it changes your perspective on the movie even if you know nothing about it... Blah. Whatever.)
Definately will see:
All the super-hero stuff and Harry Potter.

I dont know who pointed it out before
but there was a question posted in the escapist about the most used tropes that you were tired of, and one guy said "Orange and Tan"
and that... well... after seing all the preview clips Bob posted, i am fairly certain that he is right...
damn...
anyway, back on topic, i loved the stuff going on the super hero scene, and Muppets can never be bad, looking forward for this year hits.

Well it looks like a few good ones interspersed with shit, like all years.
Also I'm a hella glad Paul comes out in the UK in Feb, Valentines day to be precise.

I'll admit my curiousity was piqued when you mentioned a Fright Night re-make. But I'm hoping to all things holy that...
1.) Michael Bay and Robert Pattinson will be kept away from the film at all times.
2.) They keep the film's setting firmly in the 80's - because the script doesn't translate well into a post 9/11 setting. (IIRC) Let's learn from the Nightmare on Elm Street debacle.
3.) Do not make it darker and gritter or lighter and fluffier as it was.
I guess what I'm ultimately trying to say is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Charm? The movies are dull and without a bit of emotion. Lisbeth is one feminist caricature and the story is incredibly weak. I really wished Fincher was doing something else than this dreck. BTW when the hell has Fincher done a typical love story? And one involving serial killers? You serious?Sean.Devlin said:
The original film turned me off from this movie it was so bad. Zallian is adapting straight from the book though and not the first film.
Thor, Captain america, all the big geek cinema this year. Oh, and that little picture called "The Avengers".
I still don't get what's up with Red Riding Hood
really, I don't
all I've seen is that they made the wolf into a werewolf, and that Red Riding Hood is in love of some guy, who I'm willing to bet $50 that he's the wolf boy

it IS the same guy who directed Twilight, after all
