20th Century Fox won't stop giving action packed and more movies for kids and adults for this year 2011, although the list is not that long compare to other movie outfits but I have a big feeling that one or two of their line up of movies are one of the most anticipating movies for this year, well, for comic book fans and animation lovers. More movies are coming in for this year as 20th Century Fox gives another set of laughs, drama, suspense, sci fi and some Oscar nods. One of the start for 20th Century Fox of this year is the movie with Jack Black in Gulliver's Travels and coming this week is a drama-love story with Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway in Love and Other Drugs.
I'm also incuding in my movie watch list the titles of - Black Swan, Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2, What's your number, X-men: First Class, Rio, The Sitter, Mr. Popper's Penguins, and I'm also curious on this movie called "Caesar: Rise of the Apes", as they used the same tech effect in Avatar.
