Top Movies of 2008


Did you watch the Super Bowl? Best ever? Maybe 2nd best. I have compiled my list of my favorite movies in 2008. Remember, I am not a movie critic and I have not seen all the releases of last year but here it is:
1. The Dark Knight-It is shameful to call this a comic book movie. Heath gets the Oscar for his take on the Joker, the second best movie villain ever. Vader, you are still #1!
2. Gran Torino-Vintage Eastwood. The guy got robbed for not getting nominated. I hope Clint continues to work in front of the camera more.
3. Rambo-Pure action flick. Nice to see this character back on the screen and even better to see Stallone directing his own films now. Thanks for bringing Johnny back.
4. WallE- Pixar movies seem to get better as they go. Nice lesson with this movie too.
5. Appaloosa-I am so thankful there was a western released this year. Good work by Ed Harris.
6. Iron Man- Marvel has started a nice franchise with this film.
7. The Bank Job- Great little heist flick. Statham needs to do more like this one.
Pitcher and catchers report in less then 2 weeks, I am thrilled! Now if we can just sign a free agent or two.
