Movies 2011

Hello again!

I love watching movies, even if i don't get a chance to see many in the theaters.  We have a Netfilx account and we watch several movies and TV series every week.  I also read a lot of books that get turned into movies, but that is a post for another day.  

These are the movies that will most likely get added to our Netflix list and moved to the top as soon as possible.

 Water for Elephants came out April 22.  I heard about this movie form a Twilight blog because it starts Robert Pattinson and saw it was a bookso I read it.  I really did like the Story.  I have heard good things about it so far, and Rob, in an interview, said he really liked working with the animals.  

 Fast Five comes out on April 29.  This is the fifth in a series of movies starring Vin Diesel.  The women who watch these movies by choice, and not because their male counterparts force them to, do so because of Diesel or his co-star Paul Walker.  Me, I am in it for the cars!  

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides comes out May 20.  I want to see this one because it is a continuation of a very good series.  I am extremely disappointed that Orlando Bloom isn't in it though.

The Hangover II comes out May 26.  I loved the first installment of this series.  It was so funny, and made me wish I could go to Vegas!  Alas, I am a "responsible adult", and don't get to lose myself in this kind of insanity.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon comes out on July 1.  I just love how this series looks and sounds!  The special effects are always done so well, and I like the soundtracks too!  Speaking of soundtracks, I heard Linkin Park also has a song in this one, which excites me because I really enjoyed "New Divide".

Abduction comes out September 23.  This looks like an exciting action movie starring Taylor Lautner.  I'm not gonna lie, I want to see this movie because of him.  It looks like a good movie too, but I kinda hope he takes his shirt off. 

There are a couple kids movies coming out this summer that everyone in my house wants to see.  It would be so cool if one of the drive in's nearby could do a double feature with them.  

Kung Fu Panda May 26

Cars June 23

We really like comic book movies around here.  My husband read a lot of comics as a kid, and I am sure my son will when he gets a little older.  Personally I just love the stories.  Thor, May 6, The Green Lantern on June 17, and Captain America: The First Avenger July 22 all look to be really good movies.  I am sure they will be a big hit. The one I really want to see is X-Men First Class.  This one comes out on June 3

 There are a few others closer to the end of the year that I am also really excited about.  I don't have trailers for them yet, but I will link you to their IMDB pages for information.  As soon as their are trailers I will update this post. Final Destination 5, August 26, Puss In Boots, November 4, The Greatest Muppet Movie Ever Made, November 23, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows December 16 all should be big hits.  I can't forget about the other HUGE movie series spawned by a great series of books.  The first half of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn hits theaters on November 23.  You can keep up dated  here or, here.  I will of course post a trailer as soon as there is an official one. 

Last, but certainly not least, at least to me, is the grand finale to the decade long Harry Potter movie franchise.  I LOVE these books, and I have enjoyed these movies too.  I am going to be really sad to see the series end.  This one, I promise you, I will see in the theaters.  I am hoping we can go see it in IMAX.  Anyway, this movie comes out on July 15.  The first trailer came out tonight.  Enjoy!

What do you think?  Are there other movies that I missed?  Let me know and I will look them up!

Hope
