Well, it is the last month of the year 2008 already. Do you know what that means? This means, it is time to pick my top 5 best and worst films of 2008!!! I’ve seen a lot of movies this year that came out in 2008 so I wanted to tell you what I liked and didn’t like. Today I will start off with my top 5 choices for best films. I will talk about them in order:

Brock’s Top 5 Best Movies of 2008:

1. The Dark Knight

The best film of the year, I would say. This movie is a masterpiece. Not just for Heath’s acting as the Joker which is also amazing, I just love the entire movie overall. I am out of my mind how well Christopher Nolan saved the Batman franchise. Thank you Chris, Thank you!!!!

2. Rambo

This movie got mixed reviews by critics and regular fans, but I don’t care what anyone else says, I judge movies by my own opinion alone. I thought this film was a masterpiece too. It’s the way action movies are supposed to be today. Sly knows how an action movie is supposed to work and he did a great job with Rambo. It also tells a powerful story about Burma. Sly is a great film maker. I love this film to death.

3. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Again, this film got mixed reviews by critics and regular fans, this another movie you either love or hate, but oh well, I LOVED IT!! I thought Indy 4 was amazing. People don’t like the sci fi mixed in with aliens, but people just don’t understand that Spielberg is always putting aliens in pretty much everyone of his movies. Spielberg always had a fascination with UFO’s and aliens. He wanted to mix that in with Indy which makes it an original story and different. This film is extremely entertaining and the storytelling is just fantastic. Sure, some of the movie is silly and didn’t make any sense, but hey, it’s just a movie right? If you don’t take it seriously, you would enjoy it and have fun. 🙂

4. Changeling

Clint Eastwood is back with another film that stars my favorite actress Angelina Jolie which she plays a troubled single mother trying to find her missing son. This film makes the top 5 indeed. It’s a wonderful movie and as usual Angelina’s acting is always amazing when she does the serious drama stuff.

5. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

The Chronicles of Narnia films keep getting better and better. “Prince Caspian” is just absolutely mind blowing and this film is a masterpiece as well. The violence and action in this flick is actually pretty intense. The story itself is actually very good and cast does a good acting job.

Enjoy the list. “Iron Man” is good but not good enough to make my top 5 so don’t complain to me that it didn’t make it up there. I will have the 5 Worst Films of 2008 up tomorrow.
