Downloading Divx Movies Reviews

By Veronica Simmons

This is a small selection of movie hits for 2008. I have chosen a few of the movies I found entertaining in this years crop. I'm sure that you can find a picture or two that are good viewing.

THE DARK KNIGHT: This time Batman, along with Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, are taking the major criminals off the streets. Things are going very well, until a new criminal mastermind shows up, and attacks the city. Batman has his work cut out him now, as criminal mastermind, the Joker, has released his criminal plots on the big city.

STEP BROTHERS: Two forty year old child adults, who still live with their single parents, are now going to share a room because their parents marry, you have one crazy situation. Casting John Reilly and Will Ferrell acting as these two idiots, and the conditions are right for a very fun film. This movie is a must see for a good laugh in 2008.

FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL: After suffering a devastating break up with Sarah, a TV sitcom actress Peter (Jason Segal), decides to take a vacation to the Hawaiian Islands to get over his misery. Of course, upon checking into the resort, the first thing he sees is the woman who just left him and her new lover, a rock star super stud. This movie has all the ingredients of a thoughtful romantic comedy.

TROPIC THUNDER: With a star studded cast this film is a parody of recent war movies. To recover from a lost cause, and to get his spoiled actors to make a first rate war movie, the now venturesome director puts them into the wild, leaving them to fend for themselves. His plan is to frighten them into producing a war classic, which will be caught on hidden cameras in the area. When the director blows up on an old French land mine, the actors are now truly on their own, and they are convinced everything is just an act, but things are getting very, very real. Stars include Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., and Tom Cruise.

INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL: Indiana is back in action, after a 19 year break. This is the latest film about the adventures of Indiana Jones. In this movie Mr. Jones battles the Soviets. This time everyone is searching for ancient relics called the Crystal Skulls, and the powers they might possess.

Jumper: During a near death experience, David Rice discovers an amazing thing. He has the ability to transport himself anywhere, anytime. Later, he becomes aware that he is not alone in having this skill. After he becomes used to jumping around the world, he finds out that there are those 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 CHRONICALS OF NARNIA, PRINCE CASPIAN: It's only about one down the road in "real" time, when Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are mysteriously pulled back into Narnia. Running 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 now return to rescue Narnia from an evil fate. With the aid of the brave warriors of Narnia, they conquer their foes and free Narnia.

IRON MAN: Playboy, engineer genius, Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.) is kidnapped by Afghan rebels. They try to force him to build weapons for the insurgent group. He was wounded when his convoy was attacked, and has shrapnel stuck in his chest. To survive his injuries, and break away from his enemies, he creates a suit made of armor, which protects and strengthens him. Iron Man is born.

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS: It was a wild night in Las Vegas. Barely remembering what had happened, Jack and Joy wake up and soon realize that they had married each other the night before. They wind up winning a large jackpot at the slot machines, but each thinks they deserve the prize, so they try to settle it in court. The strange ruling is that the two must stay married for a few months, and give their marriage a chance. With an eye on the jackpot, they conspire to make each other quit the marriage, as they are both determined to have the cash for themselves.

Many people will buy films, so they can see them in the comfort of their living rooms. An increasingly popular way to get movies is by downloading them directly from online sources. The internet has many websites that offer downloading of virtually any movie ever made. - 17944
