Favorite Films In 2008 By Bryn: Full Downloads

By Perry White

I have made a sampling of movie hits for 2008. These are some of the movies that I think you might like. I hope you find a couple of movies that are worth watching.

ROLE MODELS: Danny (Paul Rudd) and Wheeler (William Scott), who promote an energy drink, are going to see some hard jail time because they binged, and trashed the company truck. The only way to avoid serving jail time is to perform 150 hours of community service. Their task will be to become mentors in a big brother type situation. The stage is set for some good comedy.

IRON MAN: Playboy, engineer genius, Tony Stark is taken hostage by Afghan fighters. They command him to create weapon systems for the insurgent group. He was hurt while he was being captured, and he has shrapnel lodged in his chest. To save his life from this injury, and escape his captors, he creates a suit made of armor, that makes him super strong. Iron Man is born.

FORGETTING SAHRAH MARSHALL: Overwhelmed with grief after a devastating break up with his girlfriend Sarah, an actress in a chessy sitcom, Peter eventually decides to take a vacation to Oahu to recover from his depression. As one might expect, upon checking into the resort, he looks up and sees his ex girlfriend and her new lover, who is a mega rock star. The stage is set for a classic romantic comedy.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH: On a quest to find his brother, science professor Trevor Anderson sets out on a journey that puts him on a journey to the center of earth. This is another version of the original 1959 movie, which was about the science fiction book by highly acclaimed author Jules Verne. Cast includes Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutchinson, Anita Briem, and Seth Myers.

TROPIC THUNDER: With an abundance of acting talent we soon see this movie is a spoof on many of the most popular war movies. In order to inspire his underachieving super stars to make a first rate war movie, the frantic, and abused, director Damien Cockburn into the wild, and leaves them on thier own. The plan is to shock them so they will produce a work of genius, which hidden cameras will capture. Unbelievabley, as the director steps on an old land mine and dies, the crew is left on its own, and they think there acting, but things are getting very, very real. Written, directed, and acted in, by Ben Stiller.

STEP BROTHERS: When two 40 year olds, who still live with their single parents, find themselves having to live in the same room because their parents marry, you have one crazy situation. Put Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly acting as these two idiots, and this seems to be a great recipe for a funny movie. This film is a best bet for a good time this year.

Jumper: While almost drowning, David realizes an amazing thing. He has the ability to actually teleport himself to anywhere he desires to be, anytime he wants. Later, he becomes aware that he is not alone in having this skill. After years of "jumping" around the planet, he learns that there are people that think jumpers are a threat, and need to be eliminated. Now he is in a fight for survival, as the hunters want him dead.

THE INCREDIBLE HULK: This film tells us the tale of Dr. Bruce Banner (Edward Norton), who, because of a gamma ray experiment gone bad, has been changed into the Incredible Hulk. The film is about the marvel comic hero, the Incredible Hulk. Key cast members are Edward Norton, Tim Roth and Liv Tyler. Louis Leterrier directed this movie. The film style is sci-fi/action-thriller.

INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL: The Indiana Jones movies are back, after a few years off. This is the latest film about the adventures of Indiana Jones. In this movie Indiana battles the Soviets. This time, it's off top the amazone to search for the Crystal Skulls, and the secrets they carry.

These days just about everyone buys or rents films when the come out on DVD, 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. Online providers have websites that with a membership, you can download almost any film you can think of. - 16039
