MOVIES THAT I SHOULD SEE IN 2011 AND WHY!
1. True Grit
- I know I still haven’t seen it. Will it live up to the Wayne epic-ness? I will soon find out.
2. The Tree of Life
- Terrence Malick doesn’t make too many movies. You may have heard of such movies as “Badlands” and “The Thin Red Line” which were all Terrence’s efforts. This one seems like a good addition to his body of works.

3. Your Highness
- Danny McBride (Tropic Thunder, East Bound and Down) and James Franco (127 Hours) are teaming up with director David Gordon Green once more (Pineapple Express). It will undoubtedly be one hilarious ride. But what’s that you say? They’re accompanied by Zooey Deschanel and Natalie Portman? Sign me up.

4. The Grandmasters
- I don’t know if any of you have seen “Ip Man” with Donnie Yen (there are two parts out already), but those two movies kicked ass. For those who don’t know, Ip Man is the one and only that trained the great Bruce Lee his tricks. This movie is another adaptation of the grandmaster (hence the title), but this time is directed by another legend, Wong Kar Wei. All you martial arts movie fans should be excited about that fact. Side note, Donnie Yen is doing a remake of “One armed warrior”. Should be interesting.

5. Sucker Punch
- Zack Snyder will direct Superman soon, but before that, he’s coming out with this all-girl cast movie. Having seen his past movies, I just want crazy slow-mo action with all of these girls.

6. A Dangerous Method
- The ever-so-crazy David Cronenberg (History of Violence, Eastern Promises, The Fly) is teaming up with Viggo Mortensen again for this story of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud. Of course, Jung and Freud gave birth to psychoanalysis, and because of that reason, this movie is going to be trippy. You all should do some background check on these characters before watching as a caution. Not to mention Cronenberg’s past movies.

7. Captain America: The First Avenger
- I don’t care too much about Thor, which is also coming out during 2011, but man, I am ready for some Captain America kicking ass during WW2. Hugo Weaving (look him up if you really don’t know him) plays The Red Skull. Perfection. Can’t wait.

8. X-Men: First Class
- Revamp the franchise… again! When in doubt, Hollywood just goes backwards and makes the older material darker and grittier. Not so much in this case, but I think this movie has legs to really keep the X-Men franchise going for quite some time. Am I excited? Yes. It’ll be good to see Dr. X doing more than rolling around in a wheel chair.

9. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
- The end is finally here. I would love to see Harry die and then come back to life. Oh wait, I forgot to say Spoiler Alert. Oops.

10. Moneyball
- A sports movie in the mix of high budget remakes and super hero movies. This depicts the story of Oakland A’s general Manager successfully attempting to put together a baseball club on a budget, by employing computer-generated analysis to draft players. This is a true story. Yay, Robin Wright (The Mermaid).
