2011 Films!

It's 2011. And that means a whole new year with lots and lots and lots of films to watch. So here is my list of the announced titles I found interesting. Enjoy.


Will be good, no matter what-



1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2- It’s ending *a happy sniff*. The series which made me who I am, and defined my whole generation comes to an end this year. Biggest cinematic event ever.

2. The Green Hornet- Seth Rogen, Christoph Waltz and Jay Chou in a Michel Gondry film. And have you seen the trailer? It’s epic!!
3. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo- David Fincher <3. Rooney Mara in one of the most coveted roles in recent cinematic history, and Daniel Craig too. Let’s hope the credits would say- from the Oscar-winning director of The Social Network.

4. The Ides of March- George Clooney’s political Drama, starring Ryan Gosling, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Chris Pine, Paul Giamatti and Marisa Tomei. *shudders with joy*

5. X Men: First Class- Starring the two men who I predict will rule the film charts this year- James McAvoy as young Proffesor X and Michael Fassbender as young Magneto.

6. Fright Night- Anton Yelchin starring as a popular high school boy whose new neighbor is a vampire, played by Colin Farrell. Cool or what? It also stars Doctor Who’s David Tennant and Mclovin!

7. Your Highness- From the creators of Pineapple Express, stars James Franco and Natalie Portman. ‘Nuff said.

8. A Dangerous Method- A story about Sigmund Fred and Carl Jung. Starring Michael Fassbender, Viggo Mortensen, Keira Knightley and Vincent Cassel. Such a good feeling about this film!

9. Restless- Gus Van Sant’s romantic drama that looks an awful lot like Harold and Maude.

10. Sherlock Holmes 2- RDJ, Jude Law, Stephen Fry, Rachael McAdams and Guy Ritchie. Gah, the awesomeness!

11. Hop- Russel Brand playing an animated rabbit!! I just died of excitement.

12. Rango- Johnny Depp playing an animated chameleon, directed by Gore Verbinsky. Same reaction as above.

13. The Tree of Life- The trailer is just beautiful. Terrence Mallick’s drama starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn.

14. Super 8- The damned teaser trailer had me at the edge of my seat. All I know is that it has Elle Fanning and made by J.J. Abrams.

15. Beginners- The plot summary had me rolling with excitement. Starring the lovely Ewan McGregor, Christopher Plummer and Melanie “Shosanna” Laurent.

16. Hesher- Joseph Gordon-Levitt looking like a bum, and Natalie Portman. Oooh.

17. Crazy, Stupid, Love- Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling in one film!

18. The Three Musketeers- Oh just the cast is making me earthquake. Logan Lerman, Matthew Mcfayden, Orlando Bloom and best of all, Christoph Waltz.

19. Arthur Christmas- Animated film about Santa’s misfit son with voices of James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Bill Nighy and Jim Broadbent.

20. The Rum Diary- Johnny Depp’s much anticipated role.






Really hope that they’ll be good, but have a bad feeling that they might suck-


1. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides- I don’t know. I can’t help it. The trailer looks too much and Rob Marshall is a bit dramatic.

2. Hangover 2- It’s just so hard to match up to the first part, especially because it is a comedy. I think they’re gonna fail.

3. The Beaver- It looks interesting and I love Jodie Foster, but Mel Gibson’s kinda nuts.

4. On The Road- Adapting a book like this, with so much cultural influence, seems pretty impossible. And I just cannot see Garrett Hedlund and Kristen Stewart as Dean Moriarty and Marylou.

5. Transformers: Dark of the Moon- The teaser trailer was plain awful. The new female lead seems dismal. I don’t know how Michael Bay and Shia Labeouf are going to pick it up from the slightly bad Transformers 2.

6. Paul- I really want this to rock, especially because of the Shaun of the Dead team and Greg Mottola of Superbad and Adventureland, but the trailer looks really random.

7. Jane Eyre- Again, adapting a book like this, and that too in a two-hour film. It has Michael Fassbender, Mia Wasikowska, Jamie Bell and Dame Judy Dench though.

8. Captain America: The First Avenger- I don’t like the superhero. But I have faith in Chris Evans.

9. Water for Elephants- The trailer looks boring, but I know the plot, which is infinitely interesting. This film is resting on my faith in Christoph Waltz.

10. Bel Ami- Again, I have very less faith in Robert Pattinson, and Uma Thurman out of Tarantino films. But the plot’s super sexy.

11. The Wolverine- Darren Aronofsky is going to make it. It’s definitely gonna be a love-it-or-hate-it film.

12. Thor- Once again I don’t like the superhero or Chris Hemsworth. Natalie Portman might save it.

13. Red Riding Hood- It looks cool and has Amanda Seyfried and Gary Oldman and a couple of really hot guys, but it’s made by the director of Twilight and may suck, big time.






Films that I’m pretty sure will suck so bad, that it’ll become a necessity to see them-


1. Sucker Punch- What is going on in Zach Snyder’s head? The trailer looks retarded.

2. Green Lantern- Oh look, Ryan Reynolds is Ben 10!

3. I Am Number Four- See below.

4. Beastly- Alex Pettyfer is the oddest leading man in Hollywood. He cannot act, has never delivered a hit film, but keeps getting roles, just because he is smoking hot. Kind of excited about Diana Argon, NPH and Mary-Kate Olsen though. ( Considering both films)

5. Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World- What? Why? Stop!

6. Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn- No comments

7. Cowboys and Aliens- It looks mental, but it has cult hit written all over.

8. Season of the Witch- Nicholas Cage- what happened to your Adaptation days?

9. The Apparition- It has some dumb plot, but it also has Tom “Malfoy” Felton.

10. From Prada to Nada- HAHAHAHA…look at the name.

 

Other films I am looking forward to- (I’m just going to comment on a few)


1. No Strings Attached- Super-duper hot.

2. Waiting For Forever- It’s finally going to come out.

14. The Help

15. Drive- Can’t wait. Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan.

16. Anonymous- Fantastic concept about a man who actually wrote all of Shakespeare’s stuff. Starring Rhys Ifans.

17. Dream House

18. Contagion- What a cast- Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Lawrence Fishburn.

19. Wanderlust

20. Puss in Boots- Better be good. Shrek Forevere After left a bad taste in my mouth.

21. Happy Feet 2- Yaaay! And it has Brad Pitt. I do not approve of the 3-D thing though.

22. Gnomeo and Juliet- James McAvoy, in another animated film which is about rival garden gnomes.

23. The Greatest Muppet Movie Ever Made

24. Hugo Cabret- Martin Scorcese’s next.

28. What’s Your Number?

29. Rise of the Apes

30. Cars 2

31. Kung Fu Panda 2

32. One Day- I swear I’d thought of this story atleast 3 years ago.

33. This Means War- Oh so epic- Chris Pine and Tom Hardy fighting over Reese Witherspoon.

34. My Week with Marilyn- Emma Watson’s new flick, with Michelle Williams as the gorgeous Marilyn Monroe.

35. My Idiot Brother- Paul Rudd starrer, have a really good feeling about it.

36. We Bought a Zoo

37. Midnight in Paris- Woody Allen’s next with Marion Cotillard, Michael Sheen and Rachel McAdams.

38. Arthur- Russel Brand and Helen Mirren in one film!

39. Melancholia

40. Mars Needs Moms


Films I might watch, but no pressure really-


1. Immortals- Sounds an awful lot like the terrible Clash of the Titans.

2. New Year’s Eve- As much as I love him, Garry Marshall should learn from his previous mistakes (Valentine’s Day)

3. Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol- What a gay name. Why is Brad Bird making it?

4. Just Go With It- Stolen from a Hindi film.

5. Perks of Being a Wallflower- Whatever happened to it starring Logan Lerman and Emma Watson. I fail you.

6. Wanted 2- The first one was way too OTT.

7. Scream 4- Bleh.

8. Fast Five- Seriously STOP.

9. Big Momma’s: Like Father like Son- *gagging from the bile rising in my throat*

10. Source Code- Again bleh, even though it stars Jake Gyllenhaal.

11. Final Destination 5- The summary reads, “The fifth installment of the franchise in which teens escape a deadly accident only to later discover that death is hunting them down.” We’ve already seen this for the first 500 installments. Enough is enough.
