Every year Hollywood studio's battle it out to make the best blockbuster movies, but seem to be using the same storyline, but with different actors. But do they honestly not think the viewer realizes this? Lets look at the evidence of movies which came out the same year and with the same concept. Deep Impact and Armageddon. Two movies about meteors crashing into Earth and destroying us all. Then we had Mission to Mars and Red Planet. Two movies about exploring planet Mars. We also had Volcano and Dante's Peak. A disaster movie about volcano's destroying towns. And the list goes on and on. Which brings me to my next point. Next year we are going to be bombarded with two movies about casual relationships in 2011. One will star Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher the other will star Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake. One will come out in January 2011 the other late September 2011. It will be a battle to find out which one will rein supreme at the box office. Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher star in "No Stings Attached" about a girl and a guy who only want the physical without all the emotion attachments relationships bring. But guess what? One wants more and there is the premise of No Strings Attached. Now for the premise of "Friends with Benefits." Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake star in Friends with Benefits about two best friends who decide to get physical and wonder if their friendship will survive. Hmm sounds very familiar. I for one will probably check out the Mila Kunis version of the movie. Not only do I think she is on fire with her movie selection of late and a darn good performer the movie will also star Emma Stone (reason enough already) her Easy A co-star Patricia Clarkson, Woody Harrelson (one of my fav's) and even Jenna Elfman. See the trend in Hollywood continues. It usually is a case of which does better at the box-office that decides which studio will win out with their version. Both movies open in 2011.
