Films To See From 2008 By Dotty: Best Films

By Kerri Climbes

I have put together a sampling of movie hits for 2008. This list consists of the movies I enjoyed watching this year. I hope you find some films here that are good viewing.

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS: Wild and crazy nights in Las Vegas are normal. Barely remembering what had happened, Jack and Joy get up the next day and find out that they are married. When they win a $3 million jackpot, each thinks they deserve the prize, so they ask a judge for a decision. It is decided that for the next few months they must stay together, and give their marriage a chance. 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.

FORGETTING SAHRAH MARSHALL: Following a tough split with Sarah, a TV sitcom actress, Peter eventually decides to escape to Hawaii to get past the break up. As one might expect, when he arrives at his hotel, the first people he sees are the woman who just left him and her new man, who is a mega rock star. This film is a fun filled romantic comedy.

TROPIC THUNDER: With an abundance of acting talent this outrageous flick is a claasic parody of popular war films. To get a realistic performance from his crew to make a true epic masterpiece, the now venturesome director into the middle of nowhere, and leaves them on thier own. The object is to overwhelm them into producing a war classic, which hidden cameras will capture. Incredibly, because the director walks over a land mine and is blown apart, the spoiled actors are on their own, and they are covinced everything is just an act, but the bullets flying are actually real. Great cast with incredible make up for Robert Downey Jr.and Tom Cruise.

10,000 B.C.: This cinematic production will take you back almost 12,000 years. When mysterious warlords from another tribe storm the Yaghai people, they capture, among others, Evolet. A strong young hunter, D'Leh, who loves Evolet, organizes a band of hunters to chase down these warmongers, and rescue Evolet and the others.

THE DARK KNIGHT: In this film Batman, and Lt. Gordon and D.A. Harvey Dent, are on a mission to clean up Gotham City. This has effectively reduced crime, but now a new super criminal arrives on the scene, and starts a crime spree. Batman has his work cut out him now, as the Joker has unleashed his criminal insanity on Gotham City.

MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA: As you might imagine, this is the sequel to the big hit film Madagascar. Our cast of lost animals, Alex (Lion), Marty (Zebra), Glorial (Hippo), and Melman (Giraffe) are ready to go back to the the Central Park Zoo in NY, and go back to the lives they know. Instead, thanks to those wacky Penguins again, they are heading off to their true homeland, Africa.

GET SMART: Maxwell Smart (agent 86) is here again, "and loving it". KAOS vs CONTROL, agents hidden in plants, and all the great one liners. It is worth the look back at the antics of Maxwell Smart.

BOLT: Bolt: This movie is a movie for the whole family. Bolt, is a dog who is an actor, who in his TV show, has superpowers. His problem is that he honestly believes he has superpowers. After he is unexpectedly thrown into the real world, he discovers that he is just a dog. Now, trying to get back home, he is aided by a cat named Mittens, and an overweight hampster named Rhino.

WALL-E: This picture is an animated, comedy, adventure, sci-fi. 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 any signs of life, Walle-E has a friend. When the spaceship returns for Eve, Wall-E somehow get on the ship, and thus starts the adventure of his robot life.

Many people will buy films, and views them on their home entertainment system. A more recent method for getting films is by downloading them directly from online sources. Online providers have websites that with a membership, you can download virtually any movie ever made.
