The Movies of 2008, Reviewed In Two Sentences

Are you on the fence about watching a particular movie, but too lazy to read a full review? Well then you’re in luck! This is my comprehensive list of every single movie released in 2008 that I've seen, and reviewed in two sentences or less!

*Note* All of the below reviews, represent my honest opinion on the movie and not a fictitious opinion. AKA, I only reviewed movies that I’ve actually seen. Also, all movies must have had a 2008 theatrical release to be on this list.

Indiana Jones 4 - Better than Temple of Doom, not better than 1 and 3. 7/10
Speed Racer - Embarrassingly terrible. Stay far away! 2/10
Zohan - Childish and stupid. Funny moments but overall bad. 5/10
Iron Man - One of the best superhero movies ever made! Funny! 9/10
Kung Fu Panda - One of DreamWorks best! Weak plot and funny moments. 8/10
Forgetting Sarah Marshall - A few funny moments, but mostly disturbing… 5/10
My Blueberry Nights - Slow paced and not for everyone. Portman disappoints. 4/10
Superhero Movie - Nothing special, just another spoof movie. 3/10
Run Fatboy Run - Not as good as Shaun and others. Charming British humor. 7/10
21 - Average Hollywood flick. Funny moments with a predictable storyline. 7/10
Drillbit Taylor –Face palm. Stay far away! 2/10
Horton Hears A Who - Charming and family friendly. Funny WTF moments. 8/10
10,000 B.C. - Average Hollywood flick. Shallow story, so so action, bad acting. 5/10
Semi-Pro - Moderately funny. Terribly written, plenty of unintelligent humor. 4/10
The Other Boleyn Girl - Great cast, boring movie. 5/10
Charlie Bartlett - Very funny film! Well written, great acting, original! 9/10
Step Up 2 The Streets - Great choreography, decent movie. Weak plot. 4/10
Spiderwick Chronicles - Best Nickelodeon in years. Bad acting, family friendly. 7/10
Jumper - Average Hollywood flick. Great cast, plot holes, and some humor. 7/10
Fool's Gold - Pleases the adolescent teens! Weak story, average flick. 7/10
Strange Wilderness - STAY AWAY. 0/10
Over Her Dead Body - Cute, charming, but fails to be a decent chick flick. 5/10
Rambo - Average Hollywood flick. If you’re a Rambo fan, you'll probably like it. 7/10
Meet The Spartans - Typical spoof movie. Nothing new, stay away! 2/10
Mad Money - Chick flick gone bad. Bad acting and story. 2/10
Cloverfield - Good for only one watch. Might cause dizziness. 7/10
27 Dresses - Best chick flick of the year. Chick flick overload! 7/10

Juno, The Best Movie You Should Be Watching

Are you watching Juno? No? Go to the theatre and watch Juno. You still haven't left? GO! Oh, your theatre isn't playing the movie? Movie studios are always complaining about piracy issues, "Hey fox! How about you make the movie available!" Don't show people a million trailers for a movie if you don't have the intention of making it viewable. Just saying. I know studios don't want my money to go towards the Bu-Ray release because, how much money the film makes during the first couple weeks makes all the difference in distribution.

Where was I again? Oh right watching Juno, I was recently lucky enough to watch this movie and it was simply amazing! One of my overall favorite movies of all time and a guaranteed HD purchase from me. Despite the fact that Ellen Page is down right adorable in maternal clothes, the depth of the story telling is amazing!

The film focuses on many different themes and does a great job showing the emotions of each character, not just Juno (Ellen Page) and Bleeker (Michael Cera). The movie was well rounded in that attempt and translated into a "family values" film that few other movies achieve.

Down sides to the film? Not many. At times I thought the dialogue was a bit unbelievable, which made the film feel too scripted. But screw it! The movie is supposed to be ridiculous!

Watch Juno because it is amazing! That is, if you can find the movie at your local theatre. I give Juno five hamburger phones out of 5 hamburger phones.
