Happy new year once again, and what better way to look back on 2008 than to count down the best films to have come out of this year, thats right all you movie buffs out there it's the top ten best films of 2008, let's kick some ass.
Oh and just as a little not most of the films on this list I have either done reviews of on youtube or right here on blogspot so only ones I have never mentioned before I'll do Litlle reviews on.
10. Twilight - ***
See my Review of this on blogspot.
9.Cloverfield - ***

8. Taken
When I first saw the trailer to this movie I thought, "Liam neeson in paris rescuing his daughter and beating the crap out of some criminals", I thought, AWESOME!!!!
Honestly I have to say I was thourouly entertained by this movie, the plot, besides it's simplisity, actually turns out to be pretty clever and how Sam (Liam Neeson) finds his daughter was actually really cool and interesting to watch and as the film goes on it just gets better and better.
The actions sequences seemed pretty brutal in some cases and filmed with a very gritty style, now it's not filmed in extreme close up like a lot of other action movies you may have seen but it's still not filmed further out to get a total clear veiw, it's somehwere in between those 2 but you get the idea of what they're doing so no real confusion.
Liam Neeson gives a really good performance as the EX - CIA agent Sam and all the rest of the cast do a good job too, and realy there is not too many problems with it the only thing is, I wished it was a little bit longer (not that it was too short it was about 90 miutes) and in that extra length they could have gone into a bit more detail with the story, but what ever i thought it was awesome.

And just as a little side note, the version I saw in cinema's was rated 15, but the dvd version is an extended harder cut rated 18. I have know clue what the extra footage will have. Will it make it any better? I'll just have to wait for the 9th of Febuary to find out.
7.Mamma Mia
A musical starring Pierce Brosnnan with all the music done by ABBA, ths might not be too bad.
Honestly, it's actually a pretty fun movie all the music by ABBA was awesome and Pierce is actually a pretty good singer as are all the rest of the cast, the story centers around the one girls, I can't remember her name, who is getting married and is trying to find her father and she sends wedding invotations to 3 men she believes to be her father.
Not a bad story line and it always has you asking the question who is the father, I'm not going to say anything i am not going to spoil it unless you've already seen the movie.
The acting was pretty well done and I believe that this movie was pretty well cast allthough, when the girls meet each other at the begining of the movie they do this rehearsed routine thing like they're quoting from a movie or something and they all scream, in all honesty I have never seen any girls, let alone fully grown women do that ever in real life so i thought that was kind of strange.
But once you get passed all of the strange moments you will actually be having a fun time and you will be laughing your ass off by the end of the movie I will garauntee you that.
So overall Mamma Mia was actually a funny and fun movie with a lot of good music although there just might have been a bit too many songs, but being that they are all by ABBA only sweetens the deal.
