Where Next For Film?

Tomorrow sees the release of Captain America: The First Avenger, pretty much the last 'big' release of the Summer of Film. Though you might think that would mean a lot less trips to the cinema in the remaining months of 2011, nothing could be further from the truth. Here are all the reasons why you'll want to be sitting in front of a big screen again very soon...
AUGUST- Packed with low-key releases that I'd like to think are potential sleeper hits, next month Super 8, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Cowboys & Aliens, Glee: The 3D Concert Movie, Conan the Barbarian, The Inbetweeners Movie, The Change-Up, Final Destination 5 and Spy Kids: All The Time In The World hit cinemas, so think of it as a conclusion to the Summer of Film whereby you get the chance to see some brilliant new entries not tied to any one franchise or money-making target.
SEPTEMBER- Probably the least packed of the next five months, we've only got small comedies like I Don't Know How She Does It and horrors such as Fright Night and Shark Night 3D to look forward to. Keep an eye on the schedules, though, as there might be something to surprise you!
OCTOBER- There's a little more to see here, including The Three Musketeers, Paranormal Activity 3 and Johnny English Reborn, but as you'll see in a sec it's the concluding months of the year that boast the most for everyone.
NOVEMBER- Here we've got a few familiar sequels, both animated (Puss In Boots, Happy Feet Two) and 'real-world' (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part One, Piranha 3DD), inevitably gearing up for the cold Christmas season where we all head back into the warmth...
DECEMBER- This is where the fun is at! Look out for New Year's Eve (a spiritual sequel to the hit 2010 comedy Valentine's Day, starring Ashton Kutcher and Zac Efron), Alvin & The Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked (though quite possibly its very own shipwreck), Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Adventures of Tintin and War Horse, all making their way to the big screen to send off 2011 with a bang!
2012- Why I am mentioning next year already? Check out this list of its packed number of releases to find out: Underworld: Awakening, The Woman In Black, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 3D, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, The Muppets, Dr Seuss' The Lorax, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, The Hunger Games, two action-orientated Snow White flicks, The Pirates: Band of Misfits, Wrath of the Titans, Titanic 3D, Scary Movie 5, The Avengers, Battleship, Men In Black 3, Madagascar 3, Prometheus, The Amazing Spider-Man, Ice Age: Continental Drift, The Dark Knight Rises, The Bourne Legacy, GI Joe: Retaliation, The Expendables 2, Resident Evil: Retribution, Dredd, Bond 23, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part Two, Life of Pi and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Excited yet?
