I am looking forward to many, many things in 2011. New classes, new experiences, new movies and renewed creative juices. We’ll see, anyway. It seems there’s a huge amount of remakes, prequels/sequels (no surprise), movies about aliens, superheroes, assassins, ghosts, and multiple personality disorders. Here’s the short list of what I’m looking forward to seeing this year:
The Green Hornet - Jan 14 – why? Michel Gondry directs.
Ip Man 2 – Jan 28 – The first one is the best kung fu movie I’ve ever seen. Hoping part deux will be just as good.
Sucker Punch – March 25 – It looks pretty badass, but during the course of watching the trailer, I changed my mind about 5 times.
Hanna – April 8 – Coming of age assassin story. We’ll see how it plays out.
Water for Elephants – April 22 – purely here because I heard good things about the novel. Possibly interesting to see Pattinson in something where he doesn’t have fangs.
The Hangover, Part II - May 27 – The first one cracks me up. My hopes are not as high for this, but I’ll still see it.
The Tree of Life – May 27 – First Malick movie in a long while.
Super 8 – June 10 – Directed by J.J. Abrams, who still seems to be on an alien kick.
Green Lantern – June 17 – Ryan. Reynolds.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II – July 15 – The last chapter.
Cowboys & Aliens – July 29 – Cats and dogs living together… mass hysteria!
Columbiana – September 2 – Another assassin story penned by Luc Besson.
Here’s what I haven’t seen yet from 2010, but hope to catch soon.
1. black swan
2. true grit
3. blue valentine
4. tron
5. tangled
6. the fighter
7. winter’s bone
8. somewhere
9. the king’s speech
10. howl
11. 127 hours
Anything that I’m overlooking that I should see??
