TOP 5 MOVIES OF 2011

1. The Green Hornet

Cast: Seth Rogen, Cameron Diaz, Edward James Olmos, Edward Furlong, Tom Wilkinson

I already made a couple of teaser posts for the Green Hornet. Of course, we’re all rooting for Kato. Sorry Hornet. Let’s watch the trailer below…

2. Green Lantern

Remember Deadpool in that crappy Wolverine Origins movie? Yeah, he’s playing Hal Jordan in Green Lantern. There’s also a rumored Deadpool movie also in the works. I hope this doesn’t suck.

3. X-Men: First Class

Studio: 20th Century Fox
Director: Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, Layer Cake)
Cast: Aaron Johnson, James McAvoy
Scheduled Release Date: June 3, 2011 (IMDB link)

Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-MEN.

From IMDB, we know that these original batch of X-men will be in the movie; Beast, Angel, Prof. X, Cyclops, Iceman, and maybe even Jean Grey. We’ll see. No trailer yet as of this writing.

4. Captain America: The First Avenger

Studio: Paramount Pictures
Director: Joe Johnston (The Wolfman, Hidalgo, Jurassic Park III, Jumanji, The Rocketeer)
Cast: Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Hugo Weaving, Tommy Lee Jones, Stanley Tucci, Hugo Weaving
Scheduled Release Date: Jul 22, 2011

Chris Evans (Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four) stars as Captain America. After being deemed unfit for military service, Steve Rogers volunteers for a top secret research project that turns him into Captain America, a superhero dedicated to defending America’s ideals. No official trailer yet.

5. Thor

Studio: Paramount Pictures

Chris Hemsworth, the dude who played Kirk’s father in Star Trek is playing the God of Thunder. What’s also good about this movie is that we’ll see Anthony Hopkins play Odin. Woot! Mjolnir FTW! Natalie Portman is also in the movie. Can’t wait.
