As I write this blog entry, 2010 is coming to a close and New Year's is right around the corner. After enjoying Tron: Legacy last week with family and friends, I started to wonder what will be the holiday movie blockbuster next year. From there it was a short trip to wonder what the entire year's worth of movies would be that interest me. So the list that follows is exactly that: dates and names of movies that I'm looking forward to in 2011 and beyond. Of course the dates get a little more fuzzy the farther out it is, so take them with a grain of salt. If I've missed any, please be sure to let us know in comments. If you're interested in some in particular, let us know that, too! Here's hoping that 2011 will be a great movie year!

Thanks for the research, Shooter! I think I’m most excited about: The Green Hornet, Paul, Cowboys & Aliens, Conan, Star Trek 2, Dark Knight Rises, The Hobbit, and Dune.
I’m also interested in Your Highness, which Sean turned us on to. According to imdb, it has a release date of April 8.
Incidentally, Super 8 was partly shot in Weirton, WV, near where I’m from, so I’ll definitely be in the theater for that.
As I look over the list, however, I’m saddened by the lack of original titles. Everything already seems to be branded, and I’m getting tired of that.
