2008 In Movies... So Far

Spring is closing in so some better movies will be hitting the theaters, or that's how it traditionally works at least. I've still found some stuff to like in the first 2 cold, crappy months of the year, but nothing has taken the box office by storm exactly yet. Here's the top 10 domestics so far:


There is some potential for a blockbuster maybe coming out of March as films like 10,000 B.C., Semi-Pro (with Will Ferrell) and Horton Hears a Who all take a shot at box office bucks. I'd guess any of those 3 might bust to the top of the top 10.

Here's what I've thought so far about what I've seen. I've caught a couple of straight-to-DVD horror sequels that are actually decent, White Noise 2 (review here) and Boogeyman 2 (review here). I caught a new movie on Sci-Fi Network called Beyond Loch Ness (review here) that sucks. I think The Bucket List (review here) is uplifting and pretty funny at times with a great cast. The Spiderwick Chronicles (review here) is a decent dark fantasy for the older kids, The Orphanage (review here) is a pretty darn good creepy ghost story, Rambo (review here) is a fun bloodbath of action and Cloverfield (review here) is a solid monster movie that I enjoyed.
