Things to Look Forward to For 2011

I liked 2010. It was a really good year for me. Maybe it was not that nice to you and that’s really sad, but hey, we have another year to look forward to. Let’s all see the world in a new light this new year and begin throwing away goodness at people’s way. That way, we can ensure a really peaceful world. Or maybe we can just continue drinking beer and smoking pot (I don’t smoke weeds, okay) the entire year and hope the Philippines gets better. Yeah, let’s do that.
Also, there’s a bunch of interesting stuff coming this 2011, so that’s probably some motivation to still live. Here are some of them.
I’ve researched a couple of cool (at least they look cool) films that are set to air next year. There are some superhero movies in the likes of The Green Hornet (January), Thor (May), Green Lantern and X-Men: First Class (June), and Captain America (July). Super 8, a J.J. Abrams sci-fi movie is also up for June and I have a feeling that it’s gonna be awesome. What I’m totally psyched about, though, is the Simon Pegg-Nick Frost comedy Paul (March). I really wish they screen that film here. The much-anticipated Black Swan that stars Natalie Portman is also set for February. Jane Eyre, the famous novel I don’t think I’ll ever read, was again adapted for the big screen (just like every other good novels) and is to be aired in March. Plus, there will be shitloads of chick flicks and movies in stupid 3D.
A couple of ridiculous movies are also to be screened in 2011. There’s Winnie the Pooh (July), a few movies that will star Taylor Lautner, The Smurfs (August), The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (November), lol.
Speaking of that, sequels—there will be tons of them, as usual (because we can’t get enough of ~good~ movies). Ong Bak 3 will be aired in January; Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2 in March; Scream 4 in April; Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Kung Fu Panda 2 and The Hangover 2 in May; Cars 2 in June, Transformers 3 and the last Harry Potter movie in July (boohoo for all you Harry Potter fans, lol); Spy Kids 4 and Final Destination 5 (how many do you guys need, seriously) in August; Paranormal Activity 3 and Saw 8 in October; Happy Feet 2 and Twilight something in November; and finally Alvin and the Chipmunks 3, Sherlock Holmes 2, and Mission Impossible 4 in December. What, effort.

As for music albums, there’ll be a new one from Cake and The Strokes this January. I just care for Cake’s, though. R.E.M. is also bound to release their 15th in March. The fourth studio album of Arctic Monkeys (I don’t listen to them, really) is due in May. Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Fiona Apple, Beastie Boys, Kanye West, and Death Cab for Cutie will all come out with new albums this coming year. And of course, LADY GAGA.
I want to tell you about the upcoming shit from the local scene, but I swear to god it’s difficult to find sources. The only thing I found was GMA7’s 2011 teleserye line up. You want that? I don’t. Just go here.
Personally, I only look forward to these things for the new year:
- Cake’s new album
- Tilda, a new HBO series starring *ehem* Ellen Page
- Paul
- The Hangover 2
- A better Philippines
- Metro Manila Film Festival 2011 (loljk)
So that is all. It is so effortful, this post. But anyway, Happy New Year everyone! May you all prosper and live peacefully in 2011. Cheers to you all!
Unfathomable







Ellen Page really is your crush, eh? :))
