Durmada's Movies To Watch In 2008: Chronicals of Narnia

By Derek Fisher

This is a small selection of the movies released this year (2008). I have chosen a few of the motion pictures I found entertaining in this years crop. I'm sure that you can find a couple of movies that you will enjoy.

Jumper: During a near death experience, David Rice discovers an amazing thing. He has the ability to actually teleport himself to any place he wants to go, at any time. Eventually, he discovers 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 those people try to track him down.

BOLT: Bolt: This movie is a fun animation. The star is dog actor Bolt, who plays the role of a dog that has super hero dog powers. The thing about Bolt is that he really thinks he is this super hero dog with superpowers. When he is accidently finds himself in a real world situation, he realizes that he is only a normal dog. Now, trying to get back home, he is aided by a cat named Mittens, and an overweight hampster named Rhino.

THE CHRONICALS OF NARNIA, PRINCE CASPIAN: It is one year later, in "real" time, when Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are teleported back to Narnia. Prince Caspian has blownn Susan's magic horn, praying that he will be saved. In their one year at home, centuries have passed in Narnia, but the four legendary characters have be summoned back to rescue Narnia from an evil fate. With the aid of the brave warriors of Narnia, they will fight for the future of Narnia.

WANTED: Wesley, an office worker going nowhere in life, learns that his father, who he never really 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 is in his blood. From that point on, this movie gets very complex and twisted. Hang on to your seat.

THE DARK KNIGHT: This time Batman, and law enforcement officials, have been taking down the criminal elements of the city. Crime is now down, but now a new super criminal arrives on the scene, and things get a lot worse. Batman has his work cut out him now, as the Joker is dispensing his criminal insanity on Gotham City.

TWENTY ONE: The basis for this film is the actual tale about M.I.T. students who built a team of blackjack winners. This team of blackjack players prepared and then enacted a brilliant run at the blackjack tables. To beat the games in Vegas, where card counting can get you banned, they had to change casinos often, and disguise themselves, so the wouldn't get caught. This movie is based on the best selling book that explains how these kids made millions playing blackjack.

10,000 B.C.: This movie takes us back to prehistoric times. When a warlike tribe invade the Yaghai tribe, they capture, among others, Evolet. A strong young hunter, D'Leh, who is in love with her, leads a group of hunters to pursue the warlords, and save her, and the rest of the captured tribe members.

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS: Wild and crazy nights in Las Vegas are normal. Joy and Jack, who had just met, wake up to discover that they are married. After winning a huge jackpot, each thinks they deserve the prize, so they try to settle it in court. The strange ruling is that they must stay together for six 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 have the cash for themselves.

WALL-E: This picture is a science fiction adventure in animation. Everyone has been removed from Earth because it had become a big pile of trash. Wall-E, a robot built to remove trash, has been left behind to clean up the mess. Years later, when a robot namend Eve shows up searching for any signs of life, Wall-E is finally not alone. When the spaceship returns for Eve, Wall-E stows away, and begins an exciting new life.

Most people buy or rent films, and views them on their home entertainment system. An increasingly popular way to get movies is by using down loading technologies from online sources. There are websites that will download virtually any movie ever made.
