Quick Synposis of everything I've seen release in 08, and watching Vicky Cristina Barcelona tonight...

1. The Dark Knight **** as good as it gets
2. Slumdog Millionaire **** masterpiece!
3. The Wrestler *** ½ A powerful and heartbreaking story
4. WALL-E *** ½ funny, quirky, satirical work of Pixar brilliance
5. Forgetting Sarah Marshall *** ½ funniest Apatow production yet
6. Quantum of Solace *** ½ Daniel Craig kicks ass
7. Iron Man *** ½ fairly light and fun blockbuster, chemistry between Downey and Paltrow shines
8. Hamlet 2 *** ½ the quirkiest movie of the year, Rock Me Sexy Jesus is worth the price of admission by itself
9. W. *** ½ well-cast and intriguing look into George W. Bush’s life
10. Pineapple Express *** ½ my 2nd favorite performance of the year by James Franco
11. Curious case of Benjamin Button *** well-done but lacking an element of greatness
12. Tropic Thunder (move up) *** not all of it sticks, but a great cast is hilarious when it does
13. Cloverfield *** yes, PG-13 movies can still be scary, and the shaky camera is effective
14. Appaloosa *** unconventional western with a great cast and some effective dialogue
15. The Incredible Hulk *** Memo to Ang Lee: this is how the Hulk should be done
16. Step Brothers *** so over-the-top, juvenile, and amateurish that it works
17. Burn After Reading *** bizarre but entertaining, interactions between Pitt and Malkovich are hilarious
18. Get Smart ** ½ if you like Steve Carell, you’ll like it
19. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian ** ½ not bad with some unexpected humor but ultimately forgettable
20. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ** biggest letdown of the year besides Harrison Ford – memo to George Lucas, please retire
21. 21 ** mediocre Vegas wannabe
22. Semi-Pro * ½ who knew Will Ferrell could be so unfunny?
23. Strange Wilderness * really, really stupid

Need To See:
Gran Torino, Milk, Doubt, Frost/Nixon, Rachel Getting Married, Man on Wire

Probably Want To See:
Happy-Go-Lucky, The Visitor, In Bruges, Synecdoche New York, Let The Right One In

Maybe:
Revolutionary Road, Valkyrie

[ljshorty89]

I heard Valkyrire was mediocre. Apparently Tom Cruise was too big for the part, and ruined the feel of the movie.

The Dark Knight
Cloverfield
Quarantine

[Buckcheeks]

I haven't seen it, but why Wanted over TDK?

Because the main character, although sort of dorky, pulls off being a complete bad ass.

Though I wouldn't rank it above The Dark Knight, it was still a great movie.

[Buckcheeks]

I only saw a handful of movies in theaters this past year..

The Dark Knight
Twilight
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
You Don't Mess With the Zohan(hahaha..horrible)

It was a good movie. I didn't read the books, though, but my girlfriend and her friends all said it wasn't as good as the book, but was still good.

They have to get a new Jacob for the next movie, though.
