Movie Hits You Can View On The Web

By Orion Hears

I have made a short list of movie hits for 2008. These are some of the movies I found entertaining in this years crop. Hopefully you will see some films here that you will enjoy.

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS: I guess it was a typical night out in Vegas. Young partiers Joy and Jack get up the next day and find out that they are married. After winning a huge jackpot, each thinks they deserve the prize, so they ask a judge for a decision. It is decided that they must stay together for six months, and try to make their marriage work. 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.

HAMLET 2: Failed actor Mr. Marshz has moved on to teaching theater classes at the high school to apathetic students. When they lose a building at the campus, the powers to be feel the theater curriculum will get the axe. Now fully motivated, he tries to save the theater classes by producing Hamlet 2, an original interpretation of the Shakespeare classic, which is his own work.

TROPIC THUNDER: With an abundance of acting talent this outrageous flick is a classic 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 their 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 convinced everything is just an act, but the bullets flying are actually real. Here?s a great cast with incredible make up for Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise.

IRON MAN: Super stud, engineering expert, Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.) is captured by insurgent fighters in Afghanistan. He is instructed to create weapon systems for the insurgent group. He sustained injuries during his capture, and has shrapnel stuck in his chest. To survive his injuries, and escape his captors, he creates a suit made of armor, which protects and strengthens him. We now have another super hero, Iron Man.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH: On a quest to find his brother, Professor Trevor Anderson goes on a mission that sends him into the depths of our planet. This is a remake of the 1959 film, which was about the classic work by Jules Verne. Directed by Eric Brevig, and starring Brendan Fraser.

Jumper: During a near death experience, David Rice (Hayden Christensen) learns something incredible. He now knows he can actually teleport himself anywhere, anytime. Later, he becomes aware that there are others with this skill. Unfortunately, after a few years of fun, he is exposed to hunters that want him, and all the jumpers wiped out. Now he is in a fight for survival, as the hunters try to track him down.

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 have been called back to rescue Narnia from an evil fate. With the support of the best fighters in the Narnia, including a very brave mouse, they will fight for the future of Narnia.

BOLT: Bolt: This film is a fun animation. Bolt, is a dog who is an actor, who in his role on television, has super hero dog powers. The thing about Bolt is that he is convinced he has superpowers. When he is accidentally finds himself in a real world situation, 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 hamster named Rhino.
