The best and worst summer flicks hollywood is coming, for better or worse

The summer of 2011 will bring some strange things to movie theaters:

Cowboys on horseback shot at by space ships.

Little blue men on a mission.

And Captain Jack Sparrow in pursuit of a mermaid.

But despite the oddities of the coming movie season, there's a cornucopia of films coming that will undoubtedly include some gems, some bombs and many, many movies somewhere in the middle.

Best Bets:

"Priest," with Paul Bettany. This tale of a retired priest who's been a veteran vampire hunter just looks fascinating in previews, and Bettany is one of the best action actors around.

"Larry Crowne," with Tom Hanks as a fired worker who goes to get a college degree, with Julia Roberts as his downer of a teacher. Hanks is perfect for his role as a positively upbeat guy who turns his teacher's world around.

"Bad Teacher" is about just that, but Cameron Diaz looks perfect as a shallow teach trying to win a contest and a rich suitor played by Justin Timberlake.

Could she recapture the crazy comedy of "Something About Mary"?

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" just has to end the series with a bang. The young actors have grown--literally and figuratively--and the story itself has everything you'd want to finish an epic series.

"The Help" has a great cast and is one of the most popular books of our time. Emma Stone and Viola Davis should become bigger names after this tale of African-American maids.

"Green Lantern" looks to be the best of the summer's comic-book flicks, a list that includes "Thor," an "X-Men" sequel, "Captain America: The First Avenger" and more.

"Lantern" has the appealing Ryan Reynolds, and previews have included some very cool special effects.

"Something Borrowed" has Kate Hudson as the spoiled gal she plays so well, and the under-appreciated Gennifer Goodwin as the friend she takes advantage of--this time, taking her man.

'Harry Potter' Star Emma Watson Drops Out of Brown University

"Harry Potter" star Emma Watson has confirmed she is leaving prestigious US university Brown, but her spokeswoman has denied reports the move is because of bullying, Sky News reports.

Vanessa Davies said there was no truth to the suggestion that the 21-year-old actress was taunted by classmates at the Ivy League institution in Providence, R.I.

Davies said Watson, who plays the character Hermione in the wizard movie series, has decided to pursue a different course of study not offered at Brown and will transfer to another university in the fall.

She added that Watson "has absolutely loved her time at Brown" and made many good friends there.

A source told the New York Daily News that fellow students would respond to Watson with quotes from "Harry Potter," saying "the most popular choice was, 'Three points for Gryffindor!'"

Watson took time out of her studies in March to focus on her acting career and admitted that her first days in college were difficult.

Emma Watson Is Finished With Brown, Not College

'Harry Potter' star Emma Watson, 21, recently announced a decision to take time off from her Ivy League education at Brown University in Rhode Island, due to professional demands on her time.

She began at college in 2009, but last month told fans on her official site she had hit the brakes on her studies. This weekend, a new Associated Press report [via the New York Times] clarifies Watson's plan.

The British actress' spokesperson, Vanessa Davies, now says that Watson is not returning to Brown at all. Instead, she will be transferring to another university this fall.

Although Watson has said that her introduction to campus life at Brown was "awful" (and football fans reportedly made her uncomfortable), the spokeswoman claims there's no truth to rumors that the movie star was "bullied" out of school. Davies says the actress wants to pursue a different course of study "not offered at Brown."

In autumn 2010, around the same time reports surfaced of an embarrassing nude photo going viral on campus, allegedly showing Watson with only a towel around her waist, the diplomatic star was nevertheless quoted in Marie Claire saying, "Brown has a real sense of community, and people are very protective of me. They really look out for me; they want me to feel like I'm part of it."

No longer a part of Brown's community, fans await news about where the studious Brit (and new face of Lacome) plans to crack the books next.

"Harry Potter" Star Emma Watson Quitting Brown University

Emma Watson is quitting Brown University to pursue an academic course not offered at the school, her spokeswoman has announced.

The spokeswoman, however, denied recent reports that the Harry Potter star was forced out of school because of bullying.

Emma, 21, was studying European women's history and drama at the Rhode Island Ivy League institution.

Last month, she announced her decision to take time off from the course to work on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, and attend to her other professional commitments.

A recent New York Daily News report suggested that Emma may have been unhappy at Brown University because she was not treated like a normal student. While answering questions in class, she would often be subject to jibes alluding to her role in Harry Potter.

A source told the New York Daily News: 'They would respond with a quote from Harry Potter. The most popular choice was, "Three points for Gryffindor!"'

The last movie in the hugely popular Harry Potter series is due to arrive in cinemas later this year, with Warner Bros. now considering re-making all the films in 3D.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is currently set to be the first movie in the series to be produced in 3D as well as 2D for its theatre release later in 2011.

Not one to give up on one of its main movie franchises, Warners is now rumoured to be looking to remake all of the past Potters for 3D cinema and Blu-ray re-releases in the future.

The news follows recent announcements from George Lucas' camp, who is planning to re-release 3D versions of the entire Star Wars series in cinemas in the near future.

Warners is yet to officially confirm or deny the rumours, but it is looking increasingly likely that all the past flicks in the series will get a new 3D airing at a cinema near you over the next year or two.

Or if you happen to be a massive fan of the boy wizard and his oh-so-smashing pals, plus have recently invested in a new 3D TV and Blu-ray player, you might want to start looking forward to a 3D Potter-thon in the comfort of your own home soon.

Emma Watson reportedly bullied at Brown. Can't she take a 'Harry Potter' joke?

Maybe Emma Watson has more in common with Hermione Granger than we thought.

The Daily Mail rumor mill has it that the "Harry Potter" star, who left Brown University in order to continue acting, may have been victim to some good old fashioned bullying. Reportedly, Watson was often subjected to snarky remarks from classmates, particularly while answering questions during lectures.

"They would respond with a quote from 'Harry Potter,'" a source says. "The most popular choice was, 'Three points for Gryffindor!'"

Watson was studying European women's history and drama at the Ivy league school and plans to continue her education.

"I will still be working towards my degree... It's just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought," she wrote on her website after announcing a hiatus from school. "As you know, I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I've had so much to juggle that being a student AND fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible."

A rep for the actress has yet to comment on the reports.

Bullying is no laughing matter, but after earning such a substantial chunk of change and jump starting her career as an actress -- we'd think the girl could handle a few "HP" jokes in stride.

In all fairness, she probably did receive a large amount of Hermione comments, but we seriously doubt that's what pushed her to leave. At least, we hope it wasn't.
