Movies: Upcoming Films

Now that the film award season is finished, there a hint of well timed explosions and vulgarities in the air. Therefore, today I will take a look at some of the big upcoming films, and see what is in store for us.

Battle: Los Angeles
Mix the plot of Independence Day, change the main group of heroes from Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum to Michelle Rodriguez and a bunch of tough soldiers, shift the attempted "realistic" factor to Cloverfield/District 9, add big battles and colorful alien explosions and you've got Battle: Los Angeles.

From what I've read, don't go into this movie expecting Oscar winning story-lines and acting, as this movie, said to be a better version of Skyline, is made with solely sci-fi military action in mind.

In Theaters March 11th

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Captain Jack Sparrow and the crew, minus Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan, head out to find the Fountain of Youth, fight Zombies, pirates, the British, blah blah - It's essentially the same format as every PoTC film so far, with a new goal and a few new villains. Not to say that's a bad thing. Why fix what isn't broken? And let's not kid ourselves, we all are going to see it, so I'm just hoping its as fun as the previous installments, and that we get a lot more Keith Richards. 

PS: While looking the IMDB, I stumbled upon an interesting catch that I'm surprised I didn't spot. Geoffrey Rush of The King's Speech plays Captain Barbossa! 

In Theaters May 20th

Bad Teacher
A comedy about a slack teacher who uses their students to achieve some self-serving goal, and hilarity ensues? Yes, I know I just described quite a bit of movies, School of Rock comes to mind, but this one is VULGAR!

Anyways, this movie is sizing up to be the next big thing, with a great cast - Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, and Jason Seagel. I'm just hoping this trailer didn't show all the funny stuff, because this movie has a lot of potential!

Could you please hold my ball-sack while I watch this trailer? Haha.

What do you think of these movies? Any good upcoming movies out that I didn't show here that are worth mentioning?
