Natalie Portman: Taking Over a Theater Near You

No one is more exciting in film than Natalie Portman at the present time. I've been known to say Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith is my all time favorite movie, but after Black Swan, Padme has a definite edge on Darth Vader. 
Other than her role as a disturbed ballerina, Portman stars alongside Ashton Kutcher in the comedy No Strings Attached, being released in the US January 21st. Portman can also be seen playing nurse "Jane Foster"  in the May 2011 action thriller, Thor with Anthony Hopkins and Chris Hemsworth. Coming Spring 2011, look for Portman to play with James Franco and Zooey Deschanel in the romantic comedy Your Highness. 
Portman is slated to be nominated for an Oscar for her role as "Nina" in Black Swan. Natalie's powerful performance left me and theaters full of movie-goers everywhere speechless. To move from such a powerful film to a laugh out loud comedy, then to an action thriller, shows Portman's versatility as an actress. She can sign on to any film she wants and conquer her role. I'm marking 2011 "The Year of Natalie Portman."

Red Dawn 2011

Chris Hemsworth, the hunky star of Thor will save the world (and production companies) one film at a time. A remake of the 1984 classic Red Dawn, will star Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck, and Connor Cruise (son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman). The actors went through some intense training for these roles, and production was intricate to say the least.
 In the 2011 version, a group of teenagers save their town from Chinese invaders, slightly different than the original, which featured a Russian invasion. Some government conspiracy theories have been going around as to the reason why the film was not yet released, but in reality, MGM has been hovering in the realm of bankruptcy.
The film was shot in Mount Clemens Michigan. You can read some local details of the filming here. Michigan has been a prime spot for filming in recent years due to its cost efficiency and great locations. Hopefully the film will be released in the near future. For now we have a dedicated film follower giving updates on Red Dawn's progress  here.      

What will 2011 Entertain Us With?

Thor: A comic book classic starring Chris Hemsworth and Anthony Hopkins. Liam Hemsworth tried out for this film, but his older brother won the battle. This film has been buzzed about for over a year, and its coming to a theater near you May 2011!  


LOL: A remake of a 2008 French film starring Miley Cyrus, Ashley Greene, Demi Moore, Douglas Booth, and Adam Sevani. When Cyrus signed onto the script, Hollywood was abuzz, since her character kisses a girl, smokes, and has sex. I say, "Hannah who?" This comedic flick has a great storyline, and is sure to hit close to home for mothers and daughters everywhere.

Joe Jonas' Solo Album: I was never sure if the middle Jo Bro could measure up to his younger brother Nick's talent and suave. After some solos in Camp Rock 2, I'm sure there is plenty of space in the music world for a solo side project from Joe Jonas.


Justin Bieber's 3-D Concert Movie: 3-D Concert movies are the new smart phones for musicians. Girls everywhere will get to be with Justin via the big screen this coming Valentine's Day.

So Undercover: For someone who said she was "taking a break", Miley Cyrus sure is working a lot. Starring Cyrus, Kelly Osbourne, and Joshua Bowman, this action-comedy directed by Tom Vaughn will hopefully be a better view than the ever so hyped about Bounty Hunter.

Demi Lovato: Ms. Lovato is set to release a new album in 2011 and will also tour (minus some Jonas Brothers) to promote her new tunes.


Smurfs: Katy Perry as a Smurf. Enough said.


Taylor Swift's World Tour: Bringing Fearless everywhere. You too can breathe the same air as Taylor Swift.
