By Derek Fisher

I have put together a short list of movie hits for 2008. I have chosen a few of the movies I enjoyed watching this year. I hope you find a picture or two that are good viewing.

Jumper: During a near death experience, David Rice discovers an amazing thing. He has the ability to actually teleport himself to any place he wants to go, at any time. Eventually, he discovers that he is not alone in having this skill. After he becomes used to jumping around the world, he finds out that there are those that think jumpers are a threat, and need to be eliminated. Now he is in a fight for survival, as those people try to track him down.

BOLT: Bolt: This movie is an animated family comedy. The star is dog actor Bolt, who in his role on television, has superpowers. His problem is that he really thinks he has these powers. After he is unexpectedly finds himself in a real world situation, he realizes that he is only a normal dog. Needing to find his way home, he is aided by a cat named Mittens, and an overweight hampster named Rhino.

THE CHRONICALS OF NARNIA, PRINCE CASPIAN: It is one year later, in "real" time, when Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are teleported back to Narnia. Fearing for his life Prince Caspian has blownn the magic horn, hoping to be saved. In Narnia, 1,300 years have passed since they were Kings and Queens, but the four legendary characters have be summoned back to save Narnia from the evil Telmarines. With the support of the brave warriors of Narnia, they will fight for the future of Narnia.

His father has been murdered, now Wesley is asked to join into the secret society of killers that his dead father was involved with. He is transformed from a nobody office worker into the killing expert that that he was destined to become. From that point on, this movie gets extremely complicated. Enjoy this roller coaster ride.

THE DARK KNIGHT: This time 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 things get a lot worse. Batman has his work cut out him now, as the Joker is dispensing his criminal insanity on Gotham City.

TWENTY ONE: This movie tells an amazing true story of M.I.T. wiz kids who built a winning formula to beat blackjack. These college kids learned to beat the game, and then performed a ruthless attack on the tables. To beat the games in Vegas, where players who beat the game can be banned from playing, they devised signals, disguises, and even fake drivers liscenses, to keep from being banned. Twenty One is based on the book that tells how the M.I.T. teams took it to the casinos.

10,000 B.C.: This cinematic production sends us back to prehistoric times. When rival hunters storm the Yaghai people, they kidnap the beautiful Evolet. A strong young hunter, D'Leh, who is in love with her, organizes a band of hunters to chase down these warmongers, and rescue Evolet and the others.

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS: Wild and crazy nights in Las Vegas are normal. Young partiers Joy and Jack wake up and soon realize that they had married each other the night before. They wind up winning a large jackpot at the slot machines, but the question is who should get the money, so they ask a judge for a decision. It is decided that for the next few months they must stay together, and see if they can settle their differences. With lots of money at stake, they each try to get the other to give up, as both desire to get the money for themselves.

WALL-E: This picture is a science fiction adventure in animation. Everyone has been removed from Earth because it had become a big pile of trash. Wall-E, a robot built to remove trash, has been left behind to clean up the mess. Years later, when a robot namend Eve shows up searching for any signs of life, Wall-E is finally not alone.
