I have put together a short list of the more popular movies put up on the big screen in 2008. I have chosen a few of the films I enjoyed watching this year. Hopefully you will see some films here that you will enjoy.
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: Grief stricken from a break up with Sarah, a TV sitcom actress, Peter decides to go on a trip to the Hawaiian Islands to get past the break up. As you might guess, when he checks into the resort hotel, the first thing he sees is his ex girlfriend and her new lover, who’s bigger than life. This film is a classic romantic comedy.
WANTED: Wesley Gibson is about to learn that his father, who he never really knew, is a contract killer. His father has been murdered, now Wesley is asked to join into the organization that his dead father was involved with. He now will become the asassin that he was meant to be. From there, things get very complex and twisted. Hang on to your seat.
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.
JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH: Searching for his missing brother, professor Trevor Anderson goes on a mission that leads him to the center of the earth. This is a remake of the original 1959 movie, that was created from the brilliant book by celbrated writer Jules Verne. Starring Brendan Fraser and Josh Hutchinson.
MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA: As the title suggests, this is the continuation to the animated smash hit Madagascar. Our cast of lost animals, Alex (Lion), Marty (Zebra), Glorial (Hippo), and Melman (Giraffe) want to return to New York’s famous Central Park Zoo, and go back to the lives they know. Instead, due to the Penguins, they find themselves going to have more adventures first.
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.
ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO: Rent is over due and Zack and Miri, life long platonic friends who live together, need to make some money. What will they do? Oh, thats easy, make pornos. Obviously this is a perfect enviornment for a funny film.
STEP BROTHERS: When two 40 year olds, who each live with their single parents, will now have to share a bedroom because their parents marry, you can only imagine the mess. With Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in those roles, and this seems to be a great recipe for a funny movie. This movie is a best bet for a good time this year.
Many people will buy films, and watch them at home. A new way people are aquiring movies is through downloads off websites. The internet has many websites that offer downloading of virtually any movie ever made.
