Big Movies of 2011 @ Girl-Doll Fashion Gossip

I was looking through a movie blog recently and started to get excited. This is going to be a great year for movies!

Breaking Dawn Part I

After Eclipse, I’ll admit I’m excited to check out the first of the final installments of Twilight. The third book and (and currently the third movie) was my favorite of the four, but there are so many interesting things in the fourth book, I’m beside myself with curiosity just to see how they put it all together. Don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but I’m especially looking forward to some feathers flying, some imprinting and Bella’s transformation. Of course you probably already know that it won’t be finished until 2012, but at least this bit should make things interesting. Breaking Dawn I is released on November 18.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Sadly Orlando Bloom won’t be returning, but Johnny Depp will be along with Geoffey Rush. Captain Jack Sparrow and Barbossa are searching for the fountain of eternal youth, but so are Blackbeard and his daughter – the ever delightful Penelope Cruz. I’ll certainly miss Orlando, but this promises to be an interesting experience in its own right. Pirates comes out on May 11.

X-Men: First Class

It’s another X-Men prequel! This one should be a bit more engaging than the last - at least I hope it will be. So far we know that there’s a great director, the movie is set in the 1960’s and Kevin Bacon is the bad guy. I don’t see Hugh Jackman in the lineup, which is always depressing for me since he’s so dreamy, but I’ll survive without him throughout this one at least. It comes out on June 3.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part II

It’s time to finish the most impressive movie series of all time. Even if you didn’t care much for the books early on, at this point you have to at least be curious to see how it all ends. I spend the last thirty minutes of part one waiting for it to cut off, and I’m very anxious to finish this once and for all. It’s rumored that the final fight between Voldemort and Harry is actually expanded from what’s in the book, which will certainly be fun to watch as well.

Transformers: The Dark of the Moon

It’s another Transformers! The third installment of the popular series is due out on the first of July this coming summer and it’s going to be interesting. Megan Fox had a beef with the director so she was not-so-graciously fired from the movie. This time the love interest is a new girl named Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and critics are hoping this one will be more about the Transformers and less about Shia LaBeouf’s personal drama, although I’m okay either way.

Thor

I’m admittedly a total geek, and I love the combination of mythology and superhero that Thor represents. With a nicely star-studded cast, Thor promises to be an interesting watch. Of course, for those of you who are in the know on this Avengers stuff, Thor is one of the Avengers who will (hopefully) be showing up in a movie featuring all of the heroes someday, so a big fingers crossed that this one is awesome for that purpose, too. Thor comes out at the end of July on the 28th.

Captain America

Hey look, another Avenger! Captain America is another super hero guy, although this time he’s not a Norse god like Thor, he’s a super soldier created by the American government. Captain America is a big studly thing dedicated to protecting the American way of life. Originally designed in the 1940’s, Captain’s specialized body is able to survive being frozen for decades before he’s reborn/defrosted as the very first Avenger who will hopefully also join forces with the Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and a few others some day in movie by that name. Captain American is released on July 22.
