Rimi's Top Ten Hollywood Movies for 2008 :-)

The Top Ten Hollywood Movies for 2008 were the following these are personal favorites and would not mind watching them over and over again :-) :

1) Mad Money - The deadly trio of Diane Keaton,Queen Latifah and Katie Homes made this one a real fun to watch.Women power rocked in this delightful comedy and the well planned scheme to steal damaged dollar bills slated for destruction by these three characters was great fun to watch.
All in all A nice and enjoyable film worth seeing

2)Enchanted - Though the theatrical release of this movie was during the end of November 2007 but i got the opportunity to see this magical movie during the beginning of 2008 as thats when it released in the theaters across India and the movie being Magical I definitely wanted to see it in the theater and enjoy its sheer magic to the core in the core .This one surely took me away to the world of fairytales which I have been enjoying immensely since my childhood and reinforced the strong belief that good always wins over the bad :-).The chemistry of Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey was sheer magic.If Amy Adams is really cute then girlies Patrick Dempsey is a real hot dish :-). These kind of happyly ever after movies have always appealed me and I strongly recommend this one for everyone to watch.. for me its a sureshot collector's item :-)

3)P.S. I Love You - Romantic movie will always be in my favorites and P.S.I Love You based on Cecelia Ahern's much acclaimed novel of the same name is definitely a treat to watch for all the fans of romantic movies.It was great to see Hillary Swank in different kind of role as i have always been watching her doing good but heavy roles (Million Dollar Baby,Freedom Writers,Boys Don't Cry etc.)Kathy Bates as Hillary's mother in the movie did a good job too.
Both Gerard Butler(read Sexy) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan were impressive too.This is a beautiful story of a woman's journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into a new beginning for life.Surely worth a watch.

4) December Boys - It was good to see Daniel Radcliffe in role which let him act as he is minus the Harry Potter image built on him.. probably this was his opportunity to break away from the Harry Potter mould not that we don't love him as the Harry Potter.This film is based on Michael Noonan's novel of the same name which tells us the story about four orphans who leave their orphanage for a holiday by the sea in a beach resort, these four boys are known as December Boys because they were all born in the same month(December).These four boys are best friends and had given up hope of ever being adopted, but during their holiday at the beach resort when they figure out that a seaside couple are looking to adopt one of the orphans, friendships are tested and new alliances made as the four boys compete with each other for the chance to gain a real family and this becomes a self discovery journey about their own selves.Its definitley a good movie which is worth watching

5) The Bucket List - Wow this movie definitely taught me something and that is to celebrate each day of our life as it comes every day is a special day with its ups and downs though it gets a bit difficult to follow this religiously but this thought process does really help:-) .Coming back to The Bucket List apart from the fantastic performances by seasoned actors like Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman the storyline of the movie is something to live with and rejoice life with and tells us not to leave anything for that special day as everyday is special:-).I strongly recommend this one for eveyone who is yet to watch this one..

6)The Kite Runner - Loved this movie as much I loved the book by Khaled Hosseini..this magnificent movie portrays the true meaning of friendship,love,sacrifice and atonement.
The two statements made in the movie/book are really moving "there is a way to be good again" and "For you, a thousand times over" these two statements conveys this beautiful story to the hilt. Another movie I would strongly recommend due to the sheer powerful message and storyline.

7)The Dark Knight - Have been watching all the batman series right from my school days so surely couldn't have missed on this one and fortunately this movie really does live upto to all its hype. No Joker has ever rocked the screen the way Heath Ledger did it in this one its really unfortunate that we wont see of him anymore...The Joker in this movie definitely outshadowed Batman for sure :-) Watch this one for the Joker..

8) The Chronicles Of Narnia:Prince Caspian - Based on the novel by CS Lewis this movie was a visual treat to watch.This is a story of deliverance and restoration with some intriguing aspects of Narnian history, culture, and mythology.This will defintely come under the category of best fantasy films like the Harry Potter Series the Chronicles of Narnia series too has its share of fan following me for sure to start with :-) and i am definitley waiting for the next one to release which is The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader in 2010

9) Sex and The City - Well to start with i had never seen the series but enjoyed the movie thoroughly and was actually hoping that it would never end as it was great fun and visually colourful to watch...

10) Tinker Bell - There had to be an animated movie in my list of top ten as I just love watching them and seldom miss any of the animated movies.Well well the fairytales have always fascinated me and this one from Tinker Bell is truly beautiful conveys the message of being happy as one is born and everyone is in this world is with a purpose as God has created each one of us with a special plan in mind which we don't realise in the beginning for sure :-) at least not me :-)

Well actually to list top ten is
