Vicky Cristina BarcelonaVicky Cristina Barcelona

This one is my favorite of 2008. Excellent movie by Woody Allen. Javier Bardem once again in a brilliant interpretation.
The Dark Knight (Widescreen Single-Disc Edition)The Dark Knight (Widescreen Single-Disc Edition)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $4.25
Batman The Dark Knight is the best action/superhero movie of 2008. Better than Incredible Hulk or Iron Man and much better than the frustrating Speed Racer. Heath Ledger, as The Joker, is the best villain of the year.
The Bank JobThe Bank Job
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $1.08
Jason Statham excellent in this movie, based on an unbelievable true story.
Definitely, Maybe (Widescreen)Definitely, Maybe (Widescreen)
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $2.33
A funny comedy about relationships.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Single Disc)Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Single Disc)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.93
The return of Dr. Jones...this is not "Raiders of the Lost Ark" but it is very good to see Indy in some action again.
Mamma Mia! The Movie (Two Disc Special Edition)Mamma Mia! The Movie (Two Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $10.88
Very funny and surprising comedy based on the songs by ABBA. Some of the songs written in 70's just fit perfectly to this movie.
Kung Fu Panda  (Widescreen Edition)Kung Fu Panda (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.00
Tai Lung is a superb villain. He deserves a superb hero like the Panda Po. Very good movie, the best animation of the year.
In BrugesIn Bruges
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $2.44
A different movie. From a light start to a tense situation, while we go on a virtual tour sightseeing the city of Bruges.
Get Smart (Single-Disc Widescreen Edition)Get Smart (Single-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $1.98
A really funny comedy with a fantastic Steve Carell as the brilliant agent 86.
Tropic ThunderTropic Thunder
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.99
Very original comedy directed by Ben Stiller. It starts and finishes different from other comedies. There's still a lot of references to other movies and to recognize these references is another good amusement. Tom Cruise is fantastic and Robert Downey Jr. is much better than he was in Iron Man.
RocknRolla (Single-Disc Edition)RocknRolla (Single-Disc Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $2.03
Another good movie by Guy Ritchie, in that frenetic narrative like "Lock Stock" or "Snatch". The bad guys, the good guys, the really bad guys, Russians, lawyers, all involved for getting a painting.
