Films To See From 2008

By Orion Hears

I have made a short list of movie hits for 2008. These are some of the movies I found entertaining in this years crop. Hopefully you will see some films here that you will enjoy.

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS: I guess it was a typical night out in Vegas. Young partiers Joy and Jack get up the next day and find out that they are married. After winning a huge jackpot, each thinks they deserve the prize, so they ask a judge for a decision. It is decided that they must stay together for six months, and try to make their marriage work. With an eye on the jackpot, they each try to get the other to give up, as both desire to have the cash for themselves.

HAMLET 2: Unsuccessful actor Dana Marshz has moved on to teaching theater classes at the high school to bored and unmotivated kids. When they lose a building at the campus, the administration decides the theater curriculum will get the axe. Wanting to fight, he is on a mission to save the theater classes by producing Hamlet 2, an original interpretation of the Shakespeare classic, which he writes himself.

TROPIC THUNDER: With an abundance of acting talent this outrageous flick is a classic parody of popular war films. To get a realistic performance from his crew to make a true epic masterpiece, the now venturesome director into the middle of nowhere, and leaves them on their own. The object is to overwhelm them into producing a war classic, which hidden cameras will capture. Incredibly, because the director walks over a land mine and is blown apart, the spoiled actors are on their own, and they are convinced everything is just an act, but the bullets flying are actually real. Here?s a great cast with incredible make up for Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise.

10,000 B.C.: This movie will take you back almost 12,000 years. When a warlike tribe attacks the Yaghai's, they kidnap the beautiful Evolet. A strong young hunter, D'Leh, who is in love with her, leads a group of hunters to pursue the warlords, and rescue Evolet and the others.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH: On a quest to find his brother, Professor Trevor Anderson goes on a mission that sends him into the depths of our planet. This is a remake of the 1959 film, which was about the classic work by Jules Verne. Directed by Eric Brevig, and starring Brendan Fraser.

MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA: This is obviously the continuation to the highly acclaimed Madagascar. Our four animal stars want to return to New York's famous Central Park Zoo, from their first adventure. Instead, as the Penguins are up to their old tricks, they will wind up going to have more adventures first.

THE CHRONICALS OF NARNIA, PRINCE CASPIAN: It is one year later, in their normal lives when, the four saviors of Narnia, Lucy, Susan, Peter, and Edmund are mysteriously pulled back into Narnia. Fearing for his life Prince Caspian has blown the magic horn, praying that he will be saved. In Narnia, 1,300 years have passed since they were Kings and Queens, but they have been called back to rescue Narnia from an evil fate. With the support of the best fighters in the Narnia, including a very brave mouse, they will fight for the future of Narnia.

BOLT: Bolt: This film is a fun animation. Bolt, is a dog who is an actor, who in his TV show, has superpowers. The thing about Bolt is that he is convinced he has these powers. After he is unexpectedly finds himself in a real world situation, he discovers that he is only a normal dog. Now, trying to get back home, he is helped by a cat named Mittens, and an overweight hamster named Rhino.

WALL-E: This film is an animation comedy. Mankind has left Earth, since it had become a pile of rubbish. Wall-E, a robot built to remove trash, has been left behind to clean up the planet. When a recon robot (Eve) appears, checking for any signs of life, Walle-E has a friend. When Eve is retrieved by the spaceship that sent her, Wall-E sneaks aboard, and begins an exciting new life.

These days just about everyone buys or rents these movies, so they can see them in the comfort of their living rooms. A more recent method for getting films is through downloads from online sources. The internet has many websites that will download virtually any movie ever made. - 16039
