THE GIRL IN THE BASEMENT
MOVIE NEWS:
We Are the Night
Release date: May 27, 2011
Starring: Karoline Herfurth, Nina Hoss, Anna Fischer, Jennifer Ulrich, Max Riemelt
This stylistic German vampire flick is new to me and was already released overseas and us Yanks are just now getting a chance to see it as it hits theaters in a limited release. I’m not a big fan of Vampire movies that are made to look “cool,” but seeing as this is from Germany I will reserve judgment until I actually see it.
X- Men: First Class
Release date: June 3, 2011
Starring: James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Kevin Bacon, Caleb Landry Jones, Nicholas Hoult,January Jones, Lucas Till
A telling of the early days of Professor Xavier’s X-Men we get to witness the rise of the original X-Men members in addition to the rise of the steel bending villain Magneto. Here’s hoping this one’s better than the atrocious X-Men 3.
Super 8
Release date: June 10, 2011
Starring: Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning, Amanda Michalka, Noah Emmerich, Ron Eldard
JJ Abrams hits us with another Alien monster flick with Super 8. Not much is known about the film's monster(s?) as the script and any creature sketches have not been made public.
Trollhunter
Release date: June 10, 2011
Starring: Otto Jespersen, Glenn Erland Trosterud, Hans Morten Hansen, Johanna Mørch, Tomas Alf Larsen
Norway is not only good for black metal but apparently for well made monster films as I have heard nothing but good buzz surrounding Trollhunter. The film was shot with a small budget but you really can’t tell when you see what was put in to the film.
The Green Lantern
Release date: June 17, 2011
Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Tim Robbins, Angela Bassett
It’s about time the Green Lantern has his own feature length film. My only concern is Ryan Reynolds ability to pull off the portrayal of Hal Jordin while not trying to turn it too much into a comedic performance. I also have an issue with him being both Deadpool and Green Lantern.
