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: 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.

TROPIC THUNDER: Filled with great actors the genre of the film is a classic spoof. Things are going bad. To get his super star cast to see the movie be a success, the seemingly bold director into the wild jungle, and leaves them on their own. He hopes to overwhelm them into producing a war classic, which will be caught on hidden cameras in the area. When the director blows up on an old French land mine, the spoiled actors are on there own, and they start acting, thinking it's a big set, but things are getting very, very real. Written, directed, and acted in, by Ben Stiller.

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.
