Carenza's List Of 2008 Movies: The Dark Knight

By Derek Fisher

I have put together a short list of movie hits for 2008. I have chosen a few of the movies I enjoyed watching this year. I hope you find a picture or two that are good viewing.

Jumper: During a near death experience, David Rice (Hayden Christensen) learns something incredible. He now knows he can transport himself to anywhere he desires to be, anytime he wants. He then comes to learn that he is not alone in having this capability. After years of "jumping" around the planet, he learns that there are people that think jumpers are a threat, and need to be eliminated. He now must battle for his life, as those people believe he should die.

BOLT: Bolt: This film is an animated comedy. The star is dog actor Bolt, who plays the role of a dog that is a super hero dog. His problem is that he honestly believes he is this super hero dog with superpowers. When he is accidently put into a real life situation, he realizes that he is only a normal dog. Now, trying to get back home, he finds help, in the form of a cat named Mittens, and an overweight hampster named Rhino.

THE CHRONICALS OF NARNIA, PRINCE CASPIAN: Just one year has passed in there "regular" lives, when Edmund, Peter, Susan, and Lucy are mysteriously pulled back into Narnia. Running for his life, Prince Caspian has blown the magin horn, in a desparate plea for help. 100's of years have passed since they left Narnia, but they now return to save Narnia from the evil Telmarines. With the help of the the bravest in the forrest, including, a dwarf, the centaurs, and a very skilled mouse, they will fight for the future of Narnia.

WANTED: Wesley, an office worker going nowhere in life, learns that the father he never knew, is an assasin. His father has been murdered, now Wesley is asked to join into the secret society of killers that his dead father was involved with. He is transformed from a nobody office worker into the killing expert that that he was destined to become. From that point on, this movie gets extremely complicated. Enjoy this roller coaster ride.

THE DARK KNIGHT: In this film Batman, and law enforcement officials, have been taking down the criminal elements of the city. Crime is now down, until a new criminal mastermind shows up, and starts a crime spree. Now, Batman really has his hands full, as the Joker is dispensing his criminal plots on the big city.

TWENTY ONE: This movie tells an amazing true story of M.I.T. wiz kids who built a winning formula to beat blackjack. These college kids learned to beat the game, and then performed a ruthless attack on the tables. To beat the games in Vegas, where players who beat the game can be banned from playing, they devised signals, disguises, and even fake drivers liscenses, to keep from being banned. Twenty One is based on the book that tells how the M.I.T. teams took it to the casinos.

10,000 B.C.: This film takes us back almost 12,000 years. When mysterious warlords from another tribe storm the Yaghai people, they capture, among others, Evolet. D'Leh, a young hunter who deeply cares for Evolet, organizes a band of hunters to chase down these warmongers, and rescue Evolet and the others.

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS: Wild and crazy nights in Las Vegas are normal. Young partiers Joy and Jack 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 the question is who should get the money, so they ask a judge for a decision. It is decided that for the next few months they must stay together, and see if they can settle their differences. With lots of money at stake, they each try to get the other to give up, as both desire to get the money for themselves.

WALL-E: This picture is an animated, comedy, adventure, sci-fi. Everyone has been removed from Earth because it had become a big pile of trash. Wall-E, a trash collecting robot, is assigned to continue cleaning. Years later, when a robot namend Eve shows up searching 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.

Many people will buy films, so they can see them in the comfort of their living rooms. A new way people are aquiring movies is by downloading them directly from online sources. There are websites that offer downloading of virtually any movie ever made. - 17944
