By Fran Masks

I have put together a sampling of the movies released this year (2008). These are some of the motion pictures that I think you might like. I'm sure that you can find some films here that you will enjoy.

BOLT: Bolt: This film is a fun animation. Bolt is a dog actor, who plays the role of a dog that is a super hero dog. The thing about Bolt is that he honestly believes he has superpowers. When, by chance, he is finds himself in a real world situation, he realizes that he is just a dog. Needing to find his way home, he is aided by a cat named Mittens, and an overweight hamster named Rhino.

WANTED: Wesley Gibson is about to learn that his long lost father is an assassin. When his father is killed, Wesley is basically forced into the secret society of killers that his dead father was involved with. He is asked to become the professional killer that that he was destined to become. After that, everything becomes extremely complicated. Enjoy this roller coaster ride.

THE CHRONICALS OF NARNIA, PRINCE CASPIAN: Just one year has passed in "real" time, when Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are mysteriously pulled back into Narnia. Prince Caspian has blown Susan's magic horn, praying that he will be saved. In their one year at home, centuries have passed in Narnia, but they have been called back to rescue Narnia from an evil fate. With the help of the best fighters in the Narnia, including a very brave mouse, they conquer their foes and free Narnia.

Jumper: Nearing death by drowning, David realizes something incredible. He has the ability to transport 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 years of "jumping" around the planet, he is exposed to hunters that think jumpers are a threat, and need to be eliminated. He must fight for his life, as these paladins 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. Wall-E, a trash collecting robot, is assigned to clean up the planet. Years later, when a robot named Eve shows up searching 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 stows away, and begins an exciting new life.

THE DARK KNIGHT: Batman, and law enforcement officials, are on a mission to clean up Gotham City. Things are going very well, until a new criminal mastermind shows up, and starts a crime spree. Batman has his work cut out him now, as the Joker is dispensing his criminal plots on the big city.

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS: Wild and crazy nights in Las Vegas are normal. Young partiers Joy and Jack wake up to discover that they are married. When they win a $3 million jackpot, there is a debate on who gets the money, so they ask a judge for a decision. The strange ruling is that they must stay together for six months, and try to make their marriage work. With an eye on the jackpot, they conspire to make each other quit the marriage, as they are both determined to wind up with all the money.

TWENTY ONE: The basis for this film is the true story about M.I.T. students who created a team of blackjack winners. This team of blackjack players learned to beat the game, and then performed an assault on the casinos. To be successful in Las Vegas, where players who beat the game can be banned from playing, they created false identities, and used complex signals to avoid detection. This movie is based on the best selling book that tells how the M.I.T. teams took it to the casinos.

10,000 B.C.: This movie will take you back almost 12,000 years. When rival hunters storm the Yaghai people, they ride off with some of the people, including the lovely Evolet. D'Leh, a young hunter who deeply cares for Evolet, leads a group of hunters to pursue the warlords, and save her, and the rest of the captured tribe members.

Many people will buy these movies, and views them on their home entertainment system. An increasingly popular way to get movies is by using down loading technologies from the internet. Online providers have websites that will download virtually any movie ever made. - 17943
