Check These Out In Cinemas Near You!

2011 promises to be another great or not greater year at the movies. This month only we have the remake of The Green Hornet, then we have an action movie in the form of Faster starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson along with other movies that might or might not interest you. Next month we have The Mechanic, also an action flick lead by Jason Statham and Sanctum, an action thriller film produced by James Cameron, the director of 2009's Avatar.

Now those are the movies that I think would make January and February interesting before we arrive to Summer, where all these what I'd like to call 'popcorn movies' come out to entertain us.

Now, to the main purpose of this new post of mine. I'd like to give you a preview of the movies that will premier in March and April. These movies are in my opinion are the warm up flicks prior to 'kick off' in May. I won't highlight them all, I'm only showing you the movies that made my movie sense tingling. 

MARCH

APOLLO 18 (March 11)

Ever wondered why the Apollo 18 expedition to the moon was scrapped? Are you even aware of the existence of Apollo 18? I know I don't. Well, don't worry because this movie would show you why the mission was cancelled. Spoiler, it has something to do with aliens. Produced by Timur Bekmambetov and directed by Trevor Cawood, this is a video documentary of the expedition of their first encounter with the aliens. Intriguing. Little is known of this movie so far.

Notice the footprint?

 

BATTLE: LOS ANGELES (March 17)

Starring Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight) as the leader of a squad of soldiers battling it out with an alien invasion. This is another movie about aliens but this time they are invading us, well America actually. This is a war movie but with the addition of aliens to it. Feisty, love it.

The teaser trailer was up online for quite some time now. Judging from the trailer, it looked like it could be a good entertainment with explosions everywhere. I'm going to check this out when it comes out. Oh you can watch the trailer below, courtesy of YouTube.

SUCKER PUNCH (MARCH 24)

This is a Zack Snyder movie and every single one of his movies were a feast to the eyes. From 300 to Watchmen, they all have stunning visuals and graphics and Sucker Punch is no exception. 

The premise of this movie is that it's about a young girl who has a dream world that provides an escape from the reality. She is unrestrained by the boundaries of time and space where she can go wherever her head tells her to. Thus, we have an adventure in the making.

The trailer itself was enough to convince me that this is a Zack Snyder's flick. It has a samurai with a mini gun, monsters in Nazi gear and dragons! Check it out below. 

APRIL

RED RIDING HOOD (April 21)

This movie is an adaptation of the folk tale of the same title but they made it into a horror movie. Yes, a horror movie. Basically it's about a village set in medieval time, Daggerhorn which is under threat by a werewolf. Thus, the villagers seek the assistance of a hunter to deal with that creature. Oh, there's also a love story between Valerie (Amanda Seyfreid) and a wood cutter. Basically, this is like a new Twilight only that there's a girl wearing the red hood. Interesting to see how it unfolds.

You can watch the trailer below.

THOR (April 28)

We already had Marvel's characters came to life in cinemas with the likes of Spiderman (my personal favourite), Incredible Hulk, Ironman and now it's Thor's turn to be the saviour to mankind. This is basically an origin story where a warrior god named Thor who was arrogant and then banished from Asgard to Earth. He becomes their ultimate protector where he battles the forces of evil sent from the villains of his world.

I'm pretty sure there will be loads of action in this movie but I'm not too sure whether it's going entertain me much. We'll see.

But I can say that the trailer looked good though.

* Well folks, these are the movies which I think will entertain us before May. I'm not saying that all of them will be quality movies but they looked good on trailers. Here's hoping that they will be worth every penny spent. Bring on March and April!
