This list consists of my must see movies of 2008 in order from least to greatest.

  • 10. Get Smart
This looks like a decently funny movie with fun actors.
                  

  • 9. Choke
I’m reading the book right now and it’s amazing, I’m just a bit worried about the director.
                 

  • 8. Hancock
Looks pretty funny, while at the same time, kinda stupid, but I think Will Smith was the right pick for the part.
                

  • 7. Wall-E
There has not been one pixar movie that I didn’t like. I don’t think this will be any different.
               

  • 6. The Incredible Hulk
The first one sucked, sure, but that’s the whole reason they’re remaking it. Oh, and Edward Norton is an amazing actor.
              

  • 5. The Road
I’m about to read this book, it’s by Cormac McCarthy (author of No Country For Old Men), if it’s half as good as No Country, it’ll be amazing.
(No Trailer Out Yet)
  • 4. Quantum of Solace
I can’t wait for this movie, Casino Royale was my favorite Bond movie.
(No Trailer Out Yet)
  • 3. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 
I love David Fincher as a director and this might be his best since Fight Club.
             

  • 2. Burn After Reading 
The Coen Brothers are amazing and this movie looks amazing.
            

  • 1. The Dark Knight
I can not wait for this movie, it will be spectacular.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian Review

Let me start by saying that the first one was much better and if you disagree with that comment then you won’t agree with this review much at all. I feel that they tried way too hard with the action in this one, they just threw a bunch of action scenes at you and it really took away from the simplistic plot that they had. The villain was just annoying in this one, he didn’t make me fear for the main characters at all, especially when you compare him to the white witch from the first one. He was afraid to fight a thirteen-year-old boy, if that’s not scary, then I don’t know what is (sarcasm). What really threw me away from the liking of this movie though was the fact that the only cool character basically wasn’t in it. Aslan the lion played by Liam Neeson, who’s an amazing actor, was barely in it and I was hoping for a lot more from him. I will say that the biblical symbolism was pulled off really well in this movie and there were some good scenes. The song at the end was very unnecessary also.

Grade: C-
