This a sampling of movie hits for 2008. These are some of the movies I found entertaining in this years crop. Hopefully you will see a couple of movies that you will enjoy.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH: Searching for his brother, professor Trevor Anderson explores caves in Iceland, and that leads him to the center of the earth. This a new version of the 1959 production, that was formed from the brilliant book by celebrated writer Jules Verne. Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutchinson, Anita Briem, and Seth Myers star in this adventure film.

WALL-E: This picture is an animated, comedy, adventure, sci-fi. Earth has been left behind, an uninhabitable wasteland. Wall-E, a robot built to remove trash, has been left behind to clean up the mess. Years later, when a robot named Eve shows up searching for any signs of life, Wall-E is finally not alone. Eventually, when Eve is recovered by the craft that sent her, Wall-E somehow get on the ship, and starts an incredible adventure.

HAMLET 2: Unsuccessful actor Dana Marshz has moved on to teaching the high school after classes to students who just don't care. When they lose a building at the campus, the school administration feels that the after curriculum will get the axe. Wanting to fight, he sets out to keep the school from dropping his classes by producing Hamlet 2, a new version of the classic, which he creates.

TROPIC THUNDER: With a collection of acting greats this outrageous flick is a classic parody of popular war films. To get better results from his underachieving super stars to see the movie be a success, the desperate director into the jungle, and leaves them there by themselves. His plan is to shock them into producing a war classic, that will be recorded on hidden cameras. Unbelievably, as the director walks over a land mine and is blown apart, the crew is left on its own, and they are convinced everything is just an act, but the bullets flying are actually real. Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., and Tom Cruise star.

ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO: The bills are piling up and Zack and Miri, roomies who have been friends since grade school, need to make some money. The answer? Easy, start making pornos. Obviously this a perfect environment for lots of laughs.

Jumper: During a near death experience, David Rice discovers an amazing thing. He now knows he can transport himself to anywhere he desires to be, anytime he wants. Later, he becomes aware that there are others with this ability. After years of "jumping" around the planet, he is exposed to hunters that are trying to rid the world of jumpers. He now must battle for his life, as these paladins believe he should die.

GET SMART: Maxwell Smart (agent 86) makes a return to the big screen, "and loving it". KAOS vs CONTROL, gadgets galore, and the cone of silence. It's a trip down memory lane to look back at the 1960's spy spoof series.

PINEAPPLE EXPRESS: Underachieving pothead Dale has just witnessed a crooked cop, and a big time dealer, commit a murder. He was spotted witnessing the crime. Knowing they've seen him, he unwittingly throws down his joint, a unique version called pineapple express, and runs. The pot is so unique, that the bad guys can trace it. The chase is on, the bad guys are hunting, and Dale and dealer Saul are on the run.

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. When they win a $3 million jackpot, each thinks they deserve the prize, so they try to settle it in court. The judge decides 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 get the money for themselves.

Many people will buy these movies, so they can see them in the comfort of their living rooms. A more recent method for getting films is by using down loading technologies from the internet. There are websites that with a membership, you can download virtually any movie ever made. - 15634
