Think Like a Man (March 9) - Based on Steve Harvey's best-selling relationship advice book, Think Like a Man promises to do for bromance what Waiting to Exhale did for female bonding. The film stars a who's who of Black romantic comedies, including Taraji P. Henson, Michael Ealy and Sanaa Lathan. (Photo: Courtesy Screen Gems Pictures)

Battleship (May 18) - We'll admit: we're excited for this film adaptation of the popular board game not for the big ships or special effects, but to catch Rihanna in her debut big-screen role as an army weapons specialist. The usually scantily-clad superstar dresses down for the tough-girl part and even endured boot camp to get into character. Bad ass! (Photo: Courtesy Battleship Delta Productions)

Men in Black III (May 25) - It's been fifteen years since the first Men in Black film hit theaters, kicking off Will Smith's nearly unbroken string of blockbuster hits. MIB3 brings even more star power and special effects to the franchise, but the most impressive trick is that the filmmakers made Smith appear as young as he did when he starred in the original.(Photo: Courtesy Columbia Pictures)

Prometheus (June 8) - Alien director Ridley Scott goes back to his sci-fi horror roots with Prometheus, and he's backed up by an outstanding cast: Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron and Idris Elba battle to save the human race, and look damn good doing it.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation (June 29) - This flick is pure popcorn, and drops in theaters right around the time when school's out and temperatures get searing hot. Along with two hours of air-conditioning, audiences will also get Dwayne Johnson flexing his muscles and RZA playing someone called "Blind Master." You could do a lot worse with twelve bucks.(Photo: Courtesy MGM Pictures)

The Dark Knight Rises (July 20) - Four years after Heath Ledger's history-making performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight, Batman goes three rounds with two new troublemakers: Bane, a terrorist leader come to wreak havoc in Gotham City, and Catwoman, also known as God's gift to latex.

The Marriage Counselor (July 27) - Will Tyler Perry's romantic comedy survive Kardashian-gate? The visionary's controversial decision to cast the celebutante in a film about marriage is ironic at best, but could cost him the handful of viewers who vowed to boycott her presence. However, the people who will turn out simply to catch Kardashian's "acting" debut should more than make up for the haters.(Photos from left: Brad Barket/PictureGroup, Fame Pictures)

Total Recall (August 3) - We're not gonna lie: we don't expect this reboot of the 1990 action flick made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger to be, you know, good, but the idea of Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale trying to save the world in catsuits gets our pulse going quicker.(Photo: Courtesy Sony Pictures)

Cloud Atlas (October) - Halle Berry has been extremely selective about her choice of roles over the last decade (Lord only knows how New Year's Eve made the cut), and we're thrilled for her return to serious drama in Cloud Atlas, co-directed by the filmmakers behind Run Lola Run and The Matrix. With a plot that crosses both space and time, this one will be a brain-twister.(Photo: Courtesy Warner Bros Pictures)

I, Alex Cross (November 8) - Tyler Perry reprises the role Morgan Freeman played in Kiss the Girls for this murder mystery, which follows a D.C. detective (Perry) as he tries to track down the killer who murdered someone in his family. Co-star Edward Burns hyped Perry's performance by telling us, "people are going to be really shocked." (Photo: Courtesy QED International Pictures)
