The Hangover wasn't just the #1 surprise hit of '09, it was the most successful comedy of ''all time'' (just under $300) at the box office, then went on a killer run on DVD that could have expanded its audience even further. But despite all the love for the original, is America begging to see more of the same just two years later? (I'm thinking... yes.)

Of this season's four superhero films, its Hal Jordan's movie that has the highest expectations... but will that result in the highest gross?

Looks like this will be the funniest of Marvel's '11 trilogy, but I have to say I'm looking forward to the other two options a little bit more, myself. Plus, how unfair is it that Ryan Reynolds gets to be The Green Lantern ''and'' Deadpool within the same comic universe? Some people just have all the luck!

Marvel has spent the last three years gearing up for its blowout all-star event "The Avengers", which arrives next Summer. Half of that superhero team had already been established in their own films (Hulk, Iron Man/Nick Fury/Black Widow), so they set up films for the other half here in 2011 (Thor, Hawkeye, Captain America). If Thor finds enough of an audience (and I think they will), people will probably want to check out the final piece of the Avenger puzzle as well. I also like the positioning for this release- yes it gets overshadowed by Potter at the start, but if reviews are favorable Captain America could stay in theaters all the way through the end of August since there will be no other AAA release to kick it out.

Olivia Wilde! Sam Rockwell! Harrison Ford! And a flipping ''alien spaceship versus Wild West posse'' showdown. The weirdness level is so high that I'm easily more fascinated by this movie than anything else coming out this Summer; I might have to see it just to confirm to myself that someone actually made it.

Now I know what you're thinking: "How could there possibly be another Apes movie after the way Burton and Wahlberg murdered the franchise back in 2001?" The answer is that this is a far-distant ''prequel''- it takes place in 2011 San Francisco, where doctors are genetically engineering a new drug that could potentially cure all forms of brain disease. But of course they have to test this procedure out on monkeys, and when the apes begin to develop human-like characteristics, well....

Rudd's one of the funniest guys around. Also the three sisters are played by Elizabeth Banks, Emily Mortimer, and Zooey Deschanel, who's in a lesbian relationship with Rashida Jones. Yowza!

Also, one more guess: I predict that 2011 will be the '''biggest Summer ever''' in terms of total gross at the box office, surpassing the record set back in 2007!
