This a short list of the more popular movies put up on the big screen in 2008. I have chosen a few of the motion pictures that I think you might like. Hopefully you will see a picture or two that you will enjoy.

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.

WANTED: A young, bored, office worker named Wesley discovers that his long lost father is a professional killer. His father is killed, and now he is being recruited into the group of assassins that his father was a part of. He now will become the professional killer that is in his blood. From there, things get complicated, and many twist and turns follow. Enjoy the ride.

THE DARK KNIGHT: 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 has his work cut out him now, as the Joker has unleashed his criminal insanity on Gotham City.

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 wiz kids learned to beat the game, and then performed a ruthless attack on the tables. To beat the games in Vegas, where players can be banned for winning with card counting skills, they created false identities, and used complex signals to avoid detection. This movie is based on the best selling book that explains how these kids made millions playing blackjack.

Eventually, he discovers that he is not the only one that has this skill. 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 the hunters try to track him down.

WALL-E: This picture is a science fiction adventure in animation. Mankind has left Earth, since it had become a pile of rubbish. Waste removal robot, Wall-E, has been left to clean up the mess. When Eve, another robot, arrives looking to see if the planet can sustain any life, Wall-E is finally not alone. When the spaceship returns for Eve, Wall-E sneaks aboard, and starts an incredible adventure.

THE CHRONICALS OF NARNIA, PRINCE CASPIAN: It's only about one down the road in "real" time, when Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are teleported back to Narnia. Prince Caspian has blown Susan's magic horn, in a desperate plea for help. 100's of years have passed since they left Narnia, but the four legendary characters have be summoned back to rescue Narnia from an evil fate. With the support of the bravest in the forest, including, a dwarf, the centaurs, and a very skilled mouse, they battle to free Narnia.

BOLT: Bolt: This movie is a fun animation. Bolt is a dog actor, who in his TV show, is a super hero dog. The thing about Bolt is that he really thinks he is this super hero dog with superpowers.
