Movies You Can Get Online

By Brian Hines

I have made a sampling of the movies released this year (2008). I have chosen a few of the movies that I think you might like. I hope you find a couple of movies that are good viewing.

PINEAPPLE EXPRESS: Heavy pot smoker Dale Denton has just witnessed a bad cop, and a big time dealer, murder someone. The killers know he has seen the killing. Sure that he has been spotted, he drops his joint of pineapple express, and gets away fast. The marijuana is particular enough, that it is possible to find out who has it. The "fun" is on, as Dale and his dealer Saul are on the run.

TWENTY ONE: This movie tells the actual tale of M.I.T. wiz kids who built a team of blackjack winners. This team of blackjack players learned to beat the game, and then performed an assault on the casinos. To beat the games in Vegas, where players who beat the game can be banned from playing, they had to change casinos often, and disguise themselves, so they wouldn't get caught. This movie is based on the best selling book that tells how the M.I.T. teams made millions playing blackjack.

ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO: The bills aren't getting paid and Zack and Miri, roomies who have been friends since grade school, are desperate to make some money. What will they do? Simple, make a dirty movie. As you might expect this situation makes for a fun movie.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH: On a mission to discover what happened to his brother, Professor Trevor Anderson travels to Iceland, and that leads him to the center of the earth. This is a newer edition of the original 1959 movie that was created from the classic novel by celebrated writer Jules Verne. Directed by Eric Brevig, and starring Brendan Fraser.

Jumper: Nearing death by drowning, David Rice (Hayden Christensen) learns something incredible. He can actually teleport himself to anywhere he desires to be, anytime he wants. Later, he becomes aware that he is not the only one that has this capability. After he becomes used to jumping around the world, he finds out that there are those that think jumpers are a threat, and need to be eliminated. He must fight for his life, as the hunters try to track him down.

THE CHRONICALS OF NARNIA, PRINCE CASPIAN: Just one year has passed in there "regular" lives, when Edmund, Peter, Susan, and Lucy are mysteriously pulled back into Narnia. Prince Caspian has blown Susan's magic horn, praying that he will be saved. 100's of years have passed since they left Narnia, but they now return to save Narnia from the evil Telmarines. With the help of the brave warriors of Narnia, they will fight for the future of Narnia.

ROLE MODELS: Danny and Wheeler, a couple of energy drink sales people, are facing jail time after trashing the company truck. The option to get out of going to prison is by doing community service. They are assigned to work as mentors with difficult children in a big brother type situation. This is a good situation for some good laughs.

WALL-E: This film is an animation comedy. Everyone has been removed from Earth because it had become a big pile of trash. Waste removal robot, Wall-E, has been left to clean up the planet. When Eve, another robot, arrives looking to see if the planet can sustain any life, Wall-E finally has some company. Eventually, when Eve is recovered by the craft that sent her, Wall-E somehow gets on the ship, and starts an incredible adventure.

TROPIC THUNDER: Overloaded with good actors this movie is a classic parody of popular war films. Things are going bad, so to get his super star cast to make a first rate war movie, the now venturesome director into the wild jungle, and leaves them there by themselves. The plan is to scare them into the realism needed for a great war film, which hidden cameras will capture. When the director steps on an old land mine and dies, the actors are now truly on their own, and they are convinced everything is just an act, when things start to get very real. Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., and Tom Cruise star.

Most people buy or rent these movies, and views 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.
