1	The Dark Knight (2008, PG-13)
2	Iron Man (2008, PG-13) Iron Man is very enertaining. It's the year's best action movie so far. Downey plays Tony Stark an industrialist in the military weapons business and a playboy after dark. One day, as he heads back to base after a test firing, he's captured by the enemy, held prisoner and paired with another captive. they want to use what comes from inside Tony's head. But He has a mind of his own. His response? "I refuse" During captivity Tony's spirt of independence propeld his creation of an armored suit fitted with blowtorches and flight capability. Returning from the ordeal with new insights and new body parts, he reconfigures his business and his redesign rocks those around him. He neither comes out and states his intentions nor what seems to be his main reason for ditching the product line- that he seek to produce better U.S. weapons so our armed forces are portected and prepared. Tony's self created hero is flawed and he has a way to go before defending America, making a profit on a new venture and getting the girl. This hero has brains to match the heart. For a good deserving experience of summer fun, Iron Man is a blast.
3	WALL-E (2008, G)
4	Tropic Thunder (2008, R)
5	Wanted (2008, R)
6	Pineapple Express (2008, R)
7	The Incredible Hulk (2008, PG-13)
8	Cloverfield (2008, PG-13)
9	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Hellboy 2) (2008, PG-13)
10	Role Models (2008, R)
11	Quantum of Solace (2008, PG-13) Ok follow-up sequel to Casino Royale that cant compete with how great that movie was. My problem with this movieis that it dosen't feel like a Bond movie. It looks like a copy of The Bourne Ultimataum crossed with Rambo. James Bond is not a action hero! I don't really favor him as being so cold and angry for revenge, but it was alrigt for the film. The saving grace of the movie which i reccomend only for seeing are the action scenes, the opening car chase sequence and the foot chase which are done very good and are awesome. P.S. (SPOILERS)- STOP READING IF YOU HAVENT SEEN IT YET!!! When the waitress is being raped by the guy in the room and she's crying on the bed do you see a shot of her vagina, or is my mind playing tricks on me. Did anyone alse see what I saw (it's a very quick shot).I just i'm gonna have to see the movie again to confirm.
12	Horton Hears a Who! (2008, G)
13	Eagle Eye (2008, PG-13)
14	Step Brothers (2008, R)
15	Hancock (2008, PG-13)
16	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008, PG-13)
17	Death Race (2008, R)
18	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008, PG-13)
19	Baby Mama (2008, PG-13)
20	The Family That Preys (2008, PG-13)
21	Punisher: War Zone (2008, R) Slightly better than the 2004 verison and closer to the Marvel Comics source material. The exterme sadistic violence and dark humor is very satisfying. I liked everything about this movie, but this is definitley not for everyone to see, and to others maybe a major dissappointment to hardcore Punisher fans. To me this is what a punisher movie should be.
22	Diary of the Dead (2007, R)
23	Saw V (2008, R)
24	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (The X Files 2) (2008, PG-13)
25	Vantage Point (2008, PG-13)
