So far, the movies to date for the year are: 2011 Already released: Green Hornet - Jan 14: Directed by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Be Kind Rewind) Seth Rogen (Pineapple Express, Superbad)as Britt Reid/The Green Hornet.  Jay Chou as Kato: The Green Hornet’s Asian valet and martial artist sidekick.  The newspaper publisher and his valet moonlight as a dynamic duo to fight crime, specifically a gangster villain that will attempt to join all of the mafias of Los Angeles together to form a “super-mafia.” Seth Rogen better not muck this film up. The Green Hornet was campy, at best, but Bruce Lee the once living legend made it larger than life.  Rogen’s popular with the counter culture crowd, making slackerdom and dope now a cultural mainstay, is great as dude-comedy, but let’s hope he doesn’t ruin the one chance this movie has of making a hit. THOR - May 6 -3D and 2D: Directed by Kenneth Branagh. Below, the Los Angeles Times came out with this new photo from Marvel Studios’ Thor. Chris Hemsworth (Cpt. Kirk’s father in recent Star Trek movie) is Thor, seen kneeling before Odin (Anthony Hopkins) as Loki (Tom Hiddleston: Magnus Martinsson in Wallander), left, looks on. Also stars Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgard, Jaimie Alexander, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Idris Elba, Clark Gregg and Colm Feore.Thor, son of Odin, is an arrogant, reckless warrior whose actions reignite an ancient war between the Asgardians and .. (the frost giants?). Thor is punished, banished, cast down to Midgard (Earth, whereas the gods live in Asgard) where the trash hang out, by his father Odin and is forced to live among us humans (yuk). A beautiful, young scientist, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman rawrrrr), is the love interest here. But she isn’t wearing the young Catholic girl outfit she wore in “V.” Extremely excited to see! Odin (Anthony Hopkins, Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) Thor Kneeling Before Odin - Loki Watches X-MEN: FIRST CLASS - June 3: BRYAN SINGER (director X-Men & X2) AND Kick-Ass director MATTHEW VAUGHN plan on creating a movie based on the beginning of the classic X-Men comic mythology. Before there was Professor X and Magneto, Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr were young men discovering their mutant powers for the first time. Before they became archenemies, they were the best of friends, working together, with other mutants, to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. … I don’t know, this has a really big chance of ending up really stupid.  70% chance of these guys forcing this thing hoping to ride the mutant cash train instead of relying on a real story.  I hope I’m wrong. Coming soon: Green Lantern- June 17: From the cover of the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, “Ryan Reynolds stars as Hal Jordan, a cocky test pilot who becomes a ring-wearing intergalactic superhero in this massive sci-fi epic from director Martin Campbell (Casino Royale). Though Reynolds has prior experience in the superhero realm from his role as Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, playing Green Lantern involved some major challenges, like getting hurled through the air on a wire at up to 60 feet per second to create the illusion of flight. “The first time you do it, you’re seriously considering an adult diaper,” Reynolds says. Still, he couldn’t resist the chance to play the beloved DC Comics hero, whose power ring can conjure virtually anything he can dream up. “Will and imagination are his superpowers,” Reynolds says. “We need a circus of Timothy Learys to think of things Hal would invent with his ring.”” .. Super Extremely excited to see… but the costume sucks eggs!  COME ON! You tell me he doesn’t look like Will Ferrell! That IS NOT the GL costume we have come to expect, and that mask sucks! Green Lantern Transformers 3 - July 1:… WAS extremely excited to see Megan Fox! AGAIN! But she just pulled out. DAMNIT! Word on the street is Tobey Maguire will be taking her place. Let’s hope they don’t ruin the franchise with the 3rd movie. Cowboys & Aliens - July 29:… meh… have to read up on it first. The First Avenger: Captain America - July 22: …  Super Extremely excited to see Red Sonja - 2011 : Starring Megan Fox (Jonah Hex, Transformers 1, 2, 3) … Extremely excited to see Megan Fox!  AGAIN
