I have put together a sampling of the movies released this year (2008). I have chosen a few of the motion pictures I found entertaining in this years crop. I hope you find a picture or two that are worth watching.

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. When they win a $3 million jackpot, the question is who should get the money, so they ask a judge for a decision. It is decided that the two must stay married for a few months, and see if they can settle their differences. With an eye on the jackpot, they each try to get the other to give up, as both desire to get the money for themselves.

WANTED: Wesley Gibson is about to learn that his long lost father is an assassin. His father is killed, and now he is being recruited into the group of assassins that his father was a part of. He now will become the killing expert that he was meant to be. From that point on, this movie gets very complex and twisted. Hang on to your seat.

THE DARK KNIGHT: In this film Batman, and Lt. Gordon and D.A. Harvey Dent, have been taking down the criminal elements of the city. Things are going very well, but now a new super criminal arrives on the scene, and things get a lot worse. Now, Batman really has his hands full, as the Joker is dispensing his criminal insanity on Gotham City.

TWENTY ONE: This movie tells the true story of young college kids who created a team of blackjack players that beat the casinos. These college kids planned, trained, and executed a ruthless attack on the tables. To beat the games in Vegas, where players who beat the game can be banned from playing, they created false identities, and used complex signals to avoid detection. This movie is based on the best selling book that explains how these kids took it to the casinos.

10,000 B.C.: This cinematic production sends us back to prehistoric times. When a warlike tribe invade the Yaghai tribe, they capture, among others, Evolet. A young hunter named D'Leh, who is in love with her, leads a group of hunters to pursue the warlords, and rescue Evolet and the others.

Jumper: Nearing death by drowning, David realizes something incredible. He can transport himself to any place he wants to go, at any time. Eventually, he discovers that there are others with this capability. After years of "jumping" around the planet, he finds out that there are those that want him, and all the jumpers wiped out. He must fight for his life, as the hunters try to track him down.

WALL-E: This film is an animation comedy. Mankind has left Earth, since it had become a pile of rubbish. Waste removal robot, Wall-E, has been left to clean up the mess. When Eve, another robot, arrives looking for signs of life on Earth, Wall-E is finally not alone. Eventually, when Eve is recovered by the craft that sent her, Wall-E somehow get on the ship, and begins an exciting new life.

THE CHRONICALS OF NARNIA, PRINCE CASPIAN: It's only about one down the road in "real" time, when Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are teleported back to Narnia. Prince Caspian has blown Susan's magic horn, in a desperate plea for help. 100's of years have passed since they left Narnia, but the four legendary characters have be summoned back to rescue Narnia from an evil fate. With the support of the bravest in the forest, including, a dwarf, the centaurs, and a very skilled mouse, they battle to free Narnia.

BOLT: Bolt: This movie is an animated family comedy. Bolt is a dog actor, who in his TV show, has super hero dog powers. His problem is that he is convinced he is this super hero dog with superpowers. When he is accidentally thrown into the real world, he realizes that he is only a normal dog. Needing to find his way home, he finds help, in the form of a cat named Mittens, and an overweight hamster named Rhino.

These days just about everyone buys or rents films, and watch them at home. A more recent method for getting films is through downloads from online sources. The internet has many websites that with a membership, you can download tons of different movies. - 17944
