By Mary Haler

I have put together a short list of the movies released this year (2008). These are some of the films that I think you might like. I'm sure that you can find a picture or two that are good viewing.

10,000 B.C.: This film sends us back 1,000's of years. When rival hunters invade the Yaghai tribe, they kidnap the beautiful Evolet. D'Leh, a young hunter who is in love with her, organizes a band of hunters to chase down these warmongers, and save her, and the rest of the captured tribe members.

WANTED: Wesley Gibson is about to learn that the father he never knew, is a contract killer. When his father is killed, Wesley is basically forced into the organization that his dead father was involved with. He is asked to become the professional killer that that he was destined to become. From there, things get extremely complicated. Enjoy this roller coaster ride.

THE CHRONICALS OF NARNIA, PRINCE CASPIAN: It's only about one down the road in their normal lives when, the four saviors of Narnia, Lucy, Susan, Peter, and Edmund magically reappear in Narnia. Prince Caspian has blownn 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 rescue Narnia from an evil fate. With the help of the best fighters in the Narnia, including a very brave mouse, they will fight for the future of Narnia.

Jumper: Nearing death by drowning, David Rice discovers he has an unbelievable ability. He has the ability to teleport himself to any place he wants to go, at any time. He then comes to learn that there are others with this ability. Unfortunately, after a few years of fun, he learns that there are people that think jumpers are a threat, and need to be eliminated. Now he is in a fight for survival, as the hunters want him dead.

WALL-E: This picture is an animation comedy. 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. Eventually, when Eve is recovered by the craft that sent her, Wall-E stows away, and begins an exciting new life.

BOLT: Bolt is a fun animation. Bolt, is a dog who is an actor, who in his role on television, has superpowers. His problem is that he honestly believes he has these powers. When he is accidently finds himself in a real world situation, he realizes that he is just a dog. On a journey to get back home, he is aided by Rhino and Mittens, his newly found hampster and cat friends.

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS: It was a wild night in Las Vegas. Young partiers Joy and Jack wake up and soon realize that they had married each other the night before. After winning a huge jackpot, each thinks they deserve the prize, so they ask a judge for a decision. It is decided that they must stay together for six months, and give their marriage a chance. With lots of money at stake, the battle is on as both want to have the cash for themselves.

TWENTY ONE: The basis for this film is the true story about M.I.T. students who created a winning formula to beat blackjack. This team of blackjack players learned to beat the game, and then performed a brilliant run at the blackjack tables. To be successfull in Las Vegas, where players can be banned for winning with card counting skills, they created false identities, and used complex signals to avoid detection. Twenty One is based on the book that tells how the M.I.T. teams made millions playing blackjack.

THE DARK KNIGHT: Batman, and law enforcement officials, have been taking down the criminal elements of the city. Crime is now down, but now a new super criminal arrives on the scene, and starts a crime spree. Batman is in a battle now, as criminal mastermind, the Joker, has released his criminal insanity on Gotham City.

These days just about everyone buys or rents these movies, so they can see them in the comfort of their living rooms. A more recent method for getting films is by using down loading technologies off websites. There are websites that with a membership, you can download virtually any movie ever made.
