To Be Released: 2011

It's a new year, which means a new era of movie releases. Here is a preview of what's to come. Good and bad.

Your Highness - James Franco and Danny McBride star in this medieval stoner epic directed by David Gordon Green ('Pineapple Express'). Natalie Portman will also be in it--so my best friend, Patrick, will really like this one. Estimated Time of Release: April 8th.

X-Men: First Class - The X-Men saga continues back in time with Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy taking on the roles of young Professor Xavier and Magneto. Check out the sexy cast. ETR: June 3rd.

One Day - A story about two best friends who find out that they're meant to be together starring Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway. If you've ever seen a movie, you've already seen this one. ETR: Not listed.

Cowboys & Aliens - An alien movie taking place in the old west starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde. This is based off a graphic novel, but still the most original movie of the decade. ETR: July 29th.


Captain America: The First Avenger - Christ Evans, aka The Human Torch, has taken on a second alter-ego as Captain America. Also, Hugo Weaver plays The Red Skull. This will be an amazing movie, see it. ETR: July 22nd. Not soon enough.

Breaking Dawn - Finally, the Twilight series draws to a close. Thank God. I've only seen the first two movies but I'm pretty confident she'll pick Edward. If you're a fat girl who shops at 'Hot Topic', you'll see this movie. ETR: November 18th.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 - Probably the most anticipated movie of the year. This series has taken up a decade of our lives. That's half my life! It's like half my soul is being torn out. Who will live? Who will die? Who will get to touch Emma Watson's breasts? What happened to Richard Harris? Find out July 15th.

Other movies: The Hangover 2, The Green Lantern, Of Gods and Men, Rango, Scream 4, Thor, Winnie the Pooh, The Smurfs, Alvin and the Chipmunks 3D, Final Desination 5 (why?), Paranormal Activity 3, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Spy Kids 4.

See a trend? The movies that stick out the most are familiar titles from comic books or cartoons, or they're tired teenage slasher sequels. In 2012, we will run out of reusable ideas and be forced to use our creativity. Then the world will end.
