Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2011: Simon Curtis’ My Week With Marilyn
With her perf in Blue Valentine, you can say I've joined the Michelle Williams bandwagon...so I'll be looking forward to her next roles especially a toughie like this one. Add this to the film history buff in me and the fact that I've always had a preference for snapshot biopics (where elements of one's life are covered in less than a month) and I'm officially curious about Curtis' feature film debut.
Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2011: Miguel Arteta’s Cedar Rapids
We had this on our list last year and it slightly fell in the rankings, but one gets the sense by the look of the trailer that this goofy-looking, BlackList favorite is the anti-thesis of Up in the Air and comes from the same cloth as The Hangover -- not a bad pairing of films for what could be a career re-launch for indie helmer Miguel Arteta.
Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2011: Guy Maddin’s Keyhole

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2011: Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris
Soderbergh might be fed up of the movie a year pace, but then you have someone like Woody who keeps churning them out.

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2011: Jason Reitman’s Young Adult
In six short years Reitman has given us plenty to munch on with Thank You for Smoking (2005), Juno (2007) and Up in the Air (2009) and if I had to put money on it, this might just be the film that has the least appeal but might score the filmmaker his highest praise. Returning to a female protag via his Diablo Cody, apparently this tackles some of the darker sides of the human condition and might just make us forget about all the terrible career choice moves Charlize Theron has made since winning Oscar. I'm calling this the dark horse pick for 2011.
