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 movie sends us back 1,000's of years. When a warlike tribe invades the Yaghai tribe, they ride off with some of the people, including the lovely Evolet. A young hunter named D'Leh, who is in love with her, leads a group of hunters to pursue the warlords, and rescue Evolet and the others.

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: This time Batman, and law enforcement officials, have been taking down the criminal elements of the city. This has effectively reduced crime, but now a new super criminal arrives on the scene, and starts a crime spree. Now, Batman really has his hands full, as the Joker has unleashed his criminal insanity 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.

STEP BROTHERS: When two child-like older men, who each live with their single parents, will now have to share a room because their parents have wed, you can only imagine the mess. Having the combination of Reilly and Ferrell in those roles, and this has the makings for lots of laughs. This movie is a sure fire bet for a good time this year.

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.

Now he is in a fight for survival, as these paladins believe he should die.

The thing about Bolt is that he honestly believes he is this super hero dog with superpowers. After he is unexpectedly thrown into the real world, he discovers that he is just a dog.

Most people buy or rent these movies, and watch them at home. An increasingly popular way to get movies is by using down loading technologies off websites. There are websites that offer downloading of virtually any movie ever made. - 16755
