movies of 2011.

Okay, so, I'm fairly new to this going-to-the-movie-theater business. As a kid I grew up watching the same movies, pretty much; Disney, mostly. Beauty and the Beast, Mary Poppins, Toy Story. We loved musicals (Sound of Music) and Jane Austen (Pride&Prejudice, over and over). Awesome movies, of course. But now that I'm older, I can also look forward to movies coming up! :) I thought I'd share my thoughts on some of the ones I'm particularly excited about.

5. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides


Johnny Depp is brilliant. We all know this. I'm a huge fan of the 1st Pirates movie, and mostly it's because of Johnny. I really didn't like the 3rd movie, and mostly it's because of Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightly. So guess what? They're not in this one! Which means with a good script, it could be just as good- or better than, Curse of the Black Pearl.

4. The Muppets


I don't know much about this movie in particular, but I do know about the muppets. Kermit the Frog's gonna be in this one, thank goodness, and that's all I need to know! It'll be released in November, though, so that's a while away.

3. Winnie the Pooh


I love Winnie the Pooh. I even wrote a post about it, as you may have seen. Now, this has the potential to be really good or really bad. So far, what I've seen is really good. It looks to be a bunch of stories from the books wound together to make an epic plot. Fingers crossed!

2. Cars 2


Of course. Pixar is amazing. But for me, Cars 1 wasn't that amazing. A sequel? Ehh. But hey, I said that about Toy Story 3, and it turned out to be my favorite Pixar movie. So I'm highly anticipating this film anyway!

1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2


There's a certain crowd of people who are really looking forward to this one... and I'm in that crowd. It's the final film in the series, and a long time coming. There's been some ups and downs, but so far the movies have been pretty good. Deathly Hallows looks like it'll be the best yet. Can't wait!

As you can see, I'm a pretty mild movie watcher. Not a big fan of thriller/action movies. Oh well :)

    Ah I am SO excited for Cars 2. Unlike you, I loved the first one and I can't wait to see this one. I hadn't heard about Winnie the Pooh - that looks like another fun one.

    I loved the Pooh movies growing up, but when I was ten or so and got hold of my dad's compendium of every original Pooh story ever written, along with the original illustrations PLUS the complete poems of A.A. Milne, I sort hold anything else a grade down. However the new movie may be a good one, considering the upward trend in good plots lately.
