This is a short list of the movies released this year (2008). This list consists of the movies I enjoyed watching this year. I hope you find a couple of movies that are good viewing.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH: Searching for his lost brother, professor Trevor Anderson travels to Iceland, and that sends him into the depths of our planet. This is another version of the 1959 film, which was about the science fiction book by celbrated writer Jules Verne. Starring Brendan Fraser and Josh Hutchinson.

STEP BROTHERS: When two child like older men, who both live at home with one parent, are now going to share a room because their parents marry, big problems loom. Put Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as the key players, and the table is set for lots of laughs. This seems like a must see for a good time this year.

HAMLET 2: Dana Marshz, formerly a small time actor, has found himself teaching the high school theater classes to uninterested students. When the high school loses a major building, the administration decides the acting classes will have to go. With a challenge now in front of him, he plans to keep the school from dropping his classes by producing Hamlet 2, a sequel to the original work, which he writes himself.

TROPIC THUNDER: Overloded with good actors the genre of the film is a parody of recent war movies. To get a realistic performance from his spoiled actors to make a true epic masterpiece, the seemingly bold director into the wild jungle, and leaves them there by themselves. He hopes to frightnen them into the realism needed for a graet war film, which hidden cameras will capture. Unbelievabley, as the director blows up on an old French land mine, the crew is left on its own, and they think there acting, but the bullets flying are actually real. Stars include Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., and Tom Cruise.

BOLT: Bolt: This film is a fun animation. Bolt, is a dog who is an actor, who plays the role of a dog that has super hero dog powers. The thing about Bolt is that he really thinks he has these powers. When, by chance, he is thrown into the real world, he realizes that he is only a normal dog. On a journey to get back home, he is aided by Mittens, the cat, and Rhino, the hampster.

MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA: This is obviously the next edition to the animated smash hit Madagascar. Our four animal stars want to return to New York’s famous Central Park Zoo, which is home for them all. Instead, with the Penguins leading them astray, they are heading off to their true homeland, Africa.

THE CHRONICALS OF NARNIA, PRINCE CASPIAN: It is one year later, in there “regular” lives, when Edmund, Peter, Susan, and Lucy are mysteriously pulled back into Narnia. Prince Caspian has blownn Susan’s magic horn, in a desparate plea for help. 100’s of years have passed since they left Narnia, but they have been called back to save Narnia from the evil Telmarines. With the help of the brave warriors of Narnia, they will fight for the future of Narnia.

10,000 B.C.: This movie takes us back to prehistoric times. When rival hunters storm the Yaghai people, they capture, among others, Evolet. A strong young hunter, D’Leh, who is in love with her, organizes a band of hunters to chase down these warmongers, and save her, and the rest of the captured tribe members.

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS: It was a wild night in Las Vegas. Young partiers Joy and Jack wake up and soon realize that they had married each other the night before. When they win a $3 million jackpot, each thinks they deserve the prize, so they ask a judge for a decision. The strange ruling is that for the next few months they must stay together, and try to make their marriage work. With lots of money at stake, they conspire to make each other quit the marriage, as they are both determined to get the money for themselves.

Most people buy or rent films when the come out on DVD, and watch them at home. A more recent method for getting films is by using down loading technologies from online sources. There are websites that will download tons of different movies.
