The summer movie season begins with Thor, But also we get a romantic comedy with Jim from the office and another comic adaptation that probably should have been given a second thought.

These are the movies that were released on Friday, May 6th 2011

Thor – Rated PG-13

Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is sent to Earth by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) for being a jerk.  There he finds love in the guise of Natalie Portman.  This is all based off the Marvel Comic book.  And thus begins our road to The Avengers.  This will connect with Iron Man and the forth coming Captian America movie.  What I am looking forward to his how Shakespearen director Kenneth Branagh will handle this comic book adaption.  From the looks of the trailers it looks good.

Verdict – The summer is here with the year’s first blockbuster.  I will be watching and saying thou a lot.

Something Borrowed – Rated PG-13

Ginnifer Goodwin gets drunk and hops in the sack with Kate Hudson’s Fiance.  Hijinx ensues and John Krasinski co stars.  With this cast I think I could be enjoyable.  But if anyone is phoning it in, it will be very horrible.

Verdict – I guess I should take my Mom to something she would watch

Jumping The Broom – Rated PG-13

Two family’s get together for a wedding where their family will become one.   That is all I know about this movie.  I never heard of it being released and I couldn’t find much information accept that it is based on a book.

Verdict – It’s got Angela Bassett in it so I cannot be terrible.

Box Office Top 5 Movies In The Country
1.  Fast Five – Rated PG-13
2.  Rio – Rated G
3. Madea’s Big Happy Family – Rated PG-13
4. Water For Elephants – Rated PG-13
5. Prom  – Rated PG

In not so surprising fashion Fast Five takes #1.  Rio hangs around and Madea just keeps hanging around which is not surprising at all.  What I am shocked about is Hoodwinked 2 coming in at 6.  I expected the bad reviews but only making a shade over 4 million surprised me.  I guess everyone would rather watch Rio or Hop.  Thor should crush all in its path next week.

These are the movies released on DVD the week of May 3rd, 2010

The Green Hornet – Rated PG-13

I look pass the mixed reviews and still want to see this.  Probably because I remember the old TV show on some channel growing up.  It made its money back and then some so that tells me that it is probably entertaining but not good.

The Dilemma – Rated PG-13

Kevin James and Vince Vaughn in the same comedy movie?  Sign me up.  Much like Green Hornet the mixed review do not faze me.

Next week Natalie Portman has sex with Ashton Kutcher.  That’s not right.  She should be doing that with me.  A female Rated R sex comedy and Paul Bettany faces off against vampires.  FINALLY! I was supposed to see this last August.
