List of new movie releases for 2011

Here are the new movie releases for this year and they are:
  
Hanna starring Cate Blanchett and Eric Bana

Hottie Eric Bana (Erik) trains her 16-year old daughter Hanna to be the best killer for Marissa (Cate Blanchett) who is currently a top performer in an intelligence agency. When Erik was tracked by Marissa to be located somewhere in the woods where the father and daughter resides, her team finds that the house is empty of a father, but still they discover his daughter, alone and crying.


Like any other intelligence agency, Marissa’s team got the child and being the daughter of a rogue asset, she was locked up in a secure facility. The action starts when Hanna asks for Marissa yet Marissa sends a fake one. Hanna assassinates her and escapes—just like she and her father planned.

There be Dragons starring Charlie Cox, Wes Bentley and Dougray Scott

There be Dragons is a phenomenal drama that should be required to watch by everyone who always desires to have a drop of conspiracy in the movies that they watch. Charlie Cox (Josemaria) plays a very different role compared to the film Stardust, the one he was first famous for. This time, he portrays a young priest that is trying to make things right—out of the grounds where he does not belong—in the streets of politics.

Josemaria’s best friend’s son, many years after the Spanish Civil War, investigates his canonization. Robert (Dougray Scott) is a journalist who tries to get into the details of Josemaria’s death and soon discovers that his investigation gives small pebbles that lead to his father. Robert discovers the relationship of his father and the soon to be saint, and finds out that at any time, forgiveness never fades.

Immortals starring Henry Cavill and Kelan Lutz

Immortals is Hollywood’s own rendition of the Greek Mythology classic of the story of Theseus. After Clash of the Titans, producers once again try their brilliance in creating another timeless tale so that the story could still live on from generation to generation. Now that we are living in a world of 3D, there sure are astonishing visual effects.

Stardust’s Humphrey (Henry Cavill) take the lead as he plays Theseus, and is accompanied by one of Twilight Saga’s star vampires,  Kelan Lutz as Poseidon.

Worst movie trailers of 2010

While superb movie trailers can wow us in a second and make us jump from our seats to rush to the nearest theater and buy a premiere ticket for that upcoming movie we just watched a teaser of, a badly edited and poorly created movie trailer can make also make us tell our friends to not watch that particular movie. We might even post in Facebook or Twitter how disappointed we were upon seeing that sneak peek.

This may also contribute to the movie being a flop, and the low gross is hard to project, even from the international market. Here’s a couple of the worst movie trailers last 2010.

Country Strong starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Leighton Meester and Tim McGraw

Though we know that Paltrow and Meester are just charming actors that will entice viewers to watch the movie upon just seeing that they are a part of it, the trailer is not going to convince you to watch it at all.

Wrapped up in a conflict of a has-been, fallen country star that is now entwined with a rising country singer to the manager that is the husband, it could not even get any worse when another country singer was born in the persona of a former beauty queen. And the trailer didn’t seem to get that across.

Grown Ups starring Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, Kevin James, David Spade, Chris Rock and Salma Hayek

The movie is hilarious. We already know that when we see an Adam Sandler film. But we have to give credit for Sandler’s appeal or else the movie might have no audience because of its trailer.


Because of the death of their former coach in basketball when they were 12, five friends unite on a 4th of July holiday and try to get along with each other again. This time, with their extended family of parents, spouses and children that prove that time does not change friendship.

Charlie St. Cloud starring Zac Efron

One of the mistakes a movie trailer creator might make is not being able to capture the attention of the audience—and worse, not making a mark. Charlie St. Cloud definitely does not have a recall.

It’s a good thing that Zac still has a following because of his High School Musical image, or else the movie could have grossed none.

Latest movies for 2011

The latest movies for this year do not only consist of stories that have been around for a couple of years—like Pirates of the Caribbean: on Stranger Tides or Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. They are also made up of first time storytelling drama that was never seen before. Even a sequel to the Fast and the Furious franchise has a new approach to the car-chasing action that they even changed the title.


Hall Pass starring Owen Wilson

Yep we will be seeing or hearing—more of Owen Wilson this year. He is not only the voice of the car race superstar Lightning McQueen in Cars 2, but is also the frontman in Hall Pass, a film about two husbands that are itching to get freedom and more romance out of their marriages that their wives decided to give them a hall pass. A hall pass is a week of freedom: you get to do whatever you want without being reprimanded of the consequences.

So Rick, together with his best friend enjoy the privilege and get it on until their wives begin to want what they got.

Cowboys and Aliens starring Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford

Just when we thought Harrison Ford is too old to make movies, we thought wrong. He is former 007 agent James Bond Daniel Craig’s (in Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale) co-star in a new movie produced by the legendary Steven Spielberg Cowboys and Aliens.

In old 1800s, an alien spaceship crashes in the Wild West and plans to take over the whole world. It’s up to consistent rivals to make peace with each other before they lose the ground that they always fight about.

Fast Five starring the cast of the Fast and the Furious plus The Rock

With The Rock as the new addition to the star-studded cast of Fast Five, the movie certifies more action as he clashes with Vin Diesel (Dominic) and his team of highly-skilled car racers. With an ex-cop (Paul Walker) who went on undercover for a long time in Dominic’s group, Hobbs (The Rock) should double the effort and pick up the speed of the investigation to catch the bad guys.
