By Barry White

I have put together a sampling of the more popular movies put up on the big screen in 2008. This list consists of the movies I found entertaining in this years crop. I'm sure that you can find some films here that are good viewing.

10,000 B.C.: This cinematic production takes us back to prehistoric times. When rival hunters invade the Yaghai tribe, they kidnap the beautiful Evolet. D'Leh, a young hunter who loves Evolet, leads a group of hunters to pursue the warlords, and save her, and the rest of the captured tribe members.

WANTED: Wesley, an office worker going nowhere in life, learns that his long lost father is an assassin. When his father is killed, Wesley is basically forced into the secret society of killers that his dead father was involved with. He is transformed from a nobody office worker into the assassin that he was meant to be. After that, everything becomes extremely complicated. Enjoy this roller coaster ride.

THE CHRONICALS OF NARNIA, PRINCE CASPIAN: It is one year later, in their normal lives when, the four saviors of Narnia, Lucy, Susan, Peter, and Edmund are mysteriously pulled back into Narnia. Fearing 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 bravest in the forest, including, a dwarf, the centaurs, and a very skilled mouse, they conquer their foes and free Narnia.

Jumper: Nearing death by drowning, David Rice (Hayden Christensen) learns something incredible. He now knows he can actually teleport himself anywhere, anytime. He then comes to learn that he is not the only one that has this capability. 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. He now must battle for his life, as these paladins try to track him down.

WALL-E: This picture is an animated, comedy, adventure, sci-fi. Mankind has left Earth, since it had become a pile of rubbish. Wall-E, a trash collecting robot, is assigned to clean up the mess. When a recon robot (Eve) appears, checking for any signs of life, Walle-E has a friend. Eventually when Eve is recovered by the craft that sent her, Wall-E sneaks aboard, and begins an exciting new life.

BOLT: Bolt: This film is an animated comedy. The star is dog actor Bolt, who in his role on television, has superpowers. The thing about Bolt is that he honestly believes he has superpowers. When he is accidentally put into a real life situation, he realizes that he is only a normal dog. Needing to find his way home, he finds help, in the form of Rhino and Mittens, his newly found hamster and cat friends.

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS: I guess it was a typical night out in Vegas. Joy and Jack, who had just met, wake up to discover that they are married. 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 judge decides that for the next few months they must stay together, and give their marriage a chance. With an eye on the jackpot, they each try to get the other to give up, as both desire to wind up with all the money.

TWENTY ONE: This movie tells the true story of young college kids who built a team of blackjack winners. This team of blackjack players planned, trained, and executed an assault on the casinos. To play in Las Vegas, where players can be banned for winning with card counting skills, they devised signals, disguises, and even fake drivers licenses, to keep from being banned. This movie is based on the best selling book that tells how the M.I.T. teams made millions playing blackjack.

THE DARK KNIGHT: In this film Batman, and law enforcement officials, are taking the major criminals off the streets. Crime is now down, but now a new super criminal arrives on the scene, and attacks the city. Batman has his work cut out him now, as the Joker is dispensing an overwhelming assault on Gotham City.

Most people buy or rent films, so they can see them in the comfort of their living rooms. A new way people are acquiring movies is by using down loading technologies off websites. There are websites that with a membership, you can download virtually any movie ever made. - 15615
