By Firan Hungey

This is a small selection of movie hits for 2008. I have chosen a few of the movies I found entertaining in this years crop. Hopefully you will see some films here that are good viewing.

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS: Wild and crazy nights in Las Vegas are normal. Young partiers Joy and Jack get up the next day and find out that they are married. When they win a $3 million jackpot, the question is who should get the money, so they try to settle it in court. The strange ruling is 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 wind up with all the money.

10,000 B.C.: This film will take you back 1,000's of years. When a warlike tribe storms the Yaghai people, they kidnap the beautiful Evolet. D'Leh, a young hunter who is in love with her, leads a group of hunters to pursue the warlords, and save her, and the rest of the captured tribe members.

TWENTY ONE: Twenty One basically recounts an amazing true story about M.I.T. students who created a team of blackjack players that beat the casinos. These college kids prepared and then enacted an assault on the casinos. To beat the games in Vegas, where card counting can get you banned, they had to change casinos often, and disguise themselves, so they wouldn't get caught. Twenty One is based on the book that explains how these kids made millions playing blackjack.

THE DARK KNIGHT: In this film Batman, and law enforcement officials, are taking the major criminals off the streets. This has effectively reduced crime, until a new criminal mastermind shows up, and things get a lot worse. Batman is in a battle now, as criminal mastermind, the Joker, has released an overwhelming assault on Gotham City.

WANTED: Wesley Gibson is about to learn that his long lost father is an assassin. His father is killed, and now he is being recruited into the secret society of killers that his dad was a member of. He now will become the assassin that is in his blood. From there, things get very complex and twisted. Enjoy this roller coaster ride.

WALL-E: This picture is an animation comedy. Everyone has been removed from Earth because it had become a big pile of trash. Wall-E, a trash collecting robot, is assigned to clean up the mess. Years later, when a robot named Eve shows up searching for any signs of life, Walle-E has a friend. When the spaceship returns for Eve, Wall-E somehow get on the ship, and starts an incredible adventure.

Jumper: Nearing death by drowning, David Rice (Hayden Christensen) learns he has an unbelievable ability. He has the ability to teleport himself to anywhere he desires to be, anytime he wants. He then comes to learn that he is not the only one that has this ability. After he becomes used to jumping around the world, he learns that there are people that are trying to rid the world of jumpers. Now he is in a fight for survival, as these paladins believe he should die.

GET SMART: Maxwell Smart, as agent 86, is at it again, and he has us right where he wants us. It is about the evil organization (KAOS), vs the good guys (CONTROL), the shoe phone, and all the classic quotes. It's a trip down memory lane to 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 come up with some cash soon. What's their solution? Easy, make porno flicks. As you might expect this is a perfect environment for lots of laughs.

Most people buy or rent these movies, and view them on their home entertainment system. A new way people are acquiring movies is through downloads from the internet. There are websites that will download tons of different movies.
