MBJ's Top 10 Movies of the Year

Well, it's that time of year again. Say hello to my top 10 movies of 2008.

10. Kung Fu Panda

This was a surprising movie

for me, because I thought it

would be silly kids movie, but

I thought it was really funny,

and, to be honest, I thought the

action sequences were

better than a live-action film.

9. The Chronicles of Narnia:
Prince Caspian

Actually, to me this film was

disappointing, but the action

(especially in the last 20 minutes)

saved the movie. Disney sure

loves Narnia, and the last 20

minutes made me want to see

it again. I can't wait for the 3rd

Narnia!

8. Valkyrie

An important movie that is

a must-see for war fans.
This movie was important.

had a good message and heart,

and Tom Cruise gave the most

effort in this performance in his

career.

7.Eagle Eye

A very good action-thriller

movie with great twists,
acting, and action that made

this an exhilarating movie. Shia

LaBeouf is an excellent movie star.

6. Indiana Jones and the

Kingdom of the Crystal

Skull

This movie, in my opinion,
is the best Indiana Jones

movie. Great action,

story, and Harrison Ford

is one of my favorite actors.

Indiana Jones is back!

5. The Incredible Hulk

Better than the 2003

version, this packs up

the action, excitement,

and adventure to this

very good movie.

Summed up in one word,

INCREDIBLE!

4. Iron Man

This movie was amazing

and broke the rules

on superhero film making.

Iron Man is one of the most

believable superheroes

ever, and the action is

amazing!

3. Max Payne

Quite possibly the best

video-game movie

I have ever seen.

Great story, and even

better action, this movie

is a fun, exciting, and amazing

movie. Mark Wahlberg is

excellent as Max Payne.

2. Quantum of Solace
The best action sequences

in a James Bond movie ever.

It's a tie with Casino Royale,

but the action was amazing,

Daniel Craig is great, and

had a satisfying ending.

This movie is worth seeing

for just the action sequences.

1. The Dark Knight

This is my favorite movie

of all-time. Ever since July 18th,

this has been my favorite movie

ever. Saw it 3 times in theaters

and saw it 5 times on DVD.

This movie had intense, thrilling

action scenes, amazing story,

best villain ever, and just summed

up to my favorite movie of all-time.

Honorable Mentions:

Hancock

WALL-E

Journey to the Center of the Earth

The Spirit

Valkyrie Review

Thanks for checking my review of the movie, Valkyrie.

The Good: This movie is NOT an action movie. You might be expecting action, but you're not going to get much. What you'll see is an important true story about the operation to assassinate Hitler.

Tom Cruise is one of my favorite actors. He was breathtaking in this role. He took it seriously, and delivered an important character.

This movie about made me cry. The ending is one of the most the most unpredictable, sad, and bravest part of a drama/thriller I have ever seen.

I love the movie's message. It's a spoiler, so I won't give it away.

The Bad: This movie was quite boring at a few parts. You sort of yawn and wish they would've skipped this scene.

Overall: Valkyrie is an important, serious, and unpredictable movie. Tom Cruise was excellent, the story was phenomenal, and this is a movie that about made me cry. Maybe quite boring at some parts, but this is one of the most important movies you'll ever see. See this movie because it's important to know what bravery, justice, and freedom mean. 8.5/10.

The Spirit Review

Thanks for checking out my review of the Spirit.

The Good: The action of the film was cool and stylized. I loved the slow motion fight scenes, and the explosions.

This actor is really impressive as the Spirit. I think Gabriel Macht will be a fine actor in other movies.

The visuals with unique and beautiful. I loved the look of this movie.

The Bad: The dialogue was laughable and silly. These lines are so cheesy and fake, you lose touch with the movie's humor and visuals.

The acting was laughable (except Gabriel Macht). These actors seem to make their characters unmemorable.

The story is hard to get. You try to keep up with it, but they just keep twisting the plot and I didn't think the story was all that good.

Overall: I'm a little bit dissapointed. I liked the action and visuals in this movie, but they got beaten by the incomprehensible story and the dialogue. 7/10.

The Spirit Trailer

Look at this AWESOME trailer for The Spirit.

SEEING THREE MOVIES!

They are...

The Spirit

Valkyrie

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Best Christmas Ever

I will always remember Christmas 2008. This was easily the best Christmas ever. We had a before Christmas, Christmas, and are going to have an after Christmas. What I mean is that before Christmas, we got a new TV and a new computer. This Christmas I got...

Blu-Ray Player

Hancock Blu-Ray

Ice Age Blu-Ray

24 Seasons 4-6 (Now I have the whole collection.)
