My five most enjoyable films of 2008? But Wampus, I didn't make any films -- enjoyable or otherwise -- in 2008.

 

[Sunstone]

I liked "W". It was all about Reverend Rick's alter ego.

And I liked "I am Legend". It was all about Reverend Rick's alter-alter ego.

 

[Reverend Rick]

I have not watched 5 new movies this year. I don't think I watched 5 movies period this year. I did go see American Carol. Total waste of time.

 

[Reverend Rick]

I liked "W". It was all about Reverend Rick's alter ego.

And I liked "I am Legend". It was all about Reverend Rick's alter-alter ego.

Now I will have to watch two more movies. Can you get them in Blue Ray?

No takers? Then I declare the results :-

The Dark Knight and In Bruges were the most enjoyable films of 2008 with Let the Right One In, Quantum of Solace and Slumdog Millionaire as runners up.

Prince Caspian and Benjamin Button were the least enjoyable.

Wow, good choices.

(Of course, there were a lot of horrible-looking movies which I didn't see... so there were probably others which were much worse than the two I listed... but I didn't see them... because they looked like **** from the previews.)

I watched the House of Wax. It was scary.

 

[Quagmire]

This should be easy. I think I've only seen about 5 movies this year.

Iron Man---Great special effects. RD.jr is one of my favorite actors and I think he nailed this one.

Defiance---I started reading The Beilski Brothers last spring or summer, and the whole time I was thinking, "Why hasn't anyone made a movie about these guys". Well, someone did. It's not all that accurate historically, but close enough for Hollywood and it was well done.

Valkyre---Any movie that begins with Tom Cruise getting blown up is worth watching. This was also well done and told a story that deserved to be told IMO.

Twillight---Great soundtrack, decent story, cool special effects, tolerable acting overall.

Hmmm....guess that's it.

Least favorite:

10,000 BC.---Give this one a minus 10, 000. For the most part it was just silly.

The Private Lives of Sunstone and Tiffany Latex---The camera man had his thumb over the lens the whole time. What's up with that?
