3. The Dark Knight
The follow-up to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in his continuing war on crime. With the help of Lt. Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves effective, but soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker, who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces Batman closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante. Heath Ledger stars as archvillain The Joker, and Aaron Eckhart plays Dent. Maggie Gyllenhaal joins the cast as Rachel Dawes. Returning from Batman Begins are Gary Oldman as Gordon, Michael Caine as Alfred and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox.
'The Dark Knight' has had an incredible-amount of hype running for it, from
the get-go, mounting ever-higher, until Heath Ledger's too-soon death. And the
finished-product does more than exceed all of the near-impossible expectations
placed on it. It becomes something much richer than a super-hero-franchise-saga.
Christopher Nolan has opened a new door in cinema: allowing action-flicks to
become more serious, capable of intelligence. He has transformed this into a
piece of artwork, full of beauty, terror, moral-conundrums. This movie has
changed things...forever.

4. Kung Fu Panda
Enthusiastic, big and a little clumsy, Po works in his family’s noodle shop while daydreaming about becoming a Kung Fu master. His dreams soon become reality when he is unexpectedly chosen to join the world of Kung Fu and study alongside his idols-the legendary fighters Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey-under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it’s up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu hero into reality? Po puts his heart and his girth into the task, and ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths. This movie rightfully belongs in the top animation movies of all time (okay, let's not include the classic fairy tales of old; let's begin with the 90's onwards), alongside my faves "The Incredibles" "Finding Nemo" and "Beauty & The Beast." Has the makings of being a classic.
5. Wall-E

behind CARS and RATATOUILLE transport you to a galaxy not so far away for a new
cosmic comedy adventure about a determined robot named WALL-E.

journey across the universe. Transport yourself to a fascinating new world with
Disney-Pixar's latest adventure, now even more astonishing on DVD and loaded
with bonus features, including the exclusive animated short film BURN-E. WALL-E
is a film your family will want to enjoy over and over again.
Top Christmas DVDS 2008
1. The Grinch
Under a thick carpet of green-dyed yak fur and wonderfully expressive Rick Baker makeup, Jim Carrey is up to all of his old tricks (and some nifty new ones) in this live-action movie of Dr. Seuss's holiday classic. He commands the title role with equal parts madness, mayhem, pathos, and improvisational genius, channeling Grinchness through his own screen persona so smoothly that fans of both Carrey and Dr. Seuss will be thoroughly satisfied. Adding to the fun is a perfectly pitched back-story sequence (accompanied by Anthony Hopkins's narration) that explains how the Grinch came to hate Christmas, with a heart "two sizes too small." Ron Howard proves a fine choice for the director's chair with a keen balance of comedy, sentiment, and light-hearted Seussian whimsy.
2. A Christmas Carol
This is the desert-island choice of the many versions of A Christmas Carol, with a magnificent, full-bodied portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge by Alastair Sim that leaves everyone else in the dust. Lean and direct, this film's version of the story wastes no time trying to impress viewers with the magical nature of the spirits' visitations. Director Brian Desmond Hurst keeps the focus on Scrooge's life story, beautifully simplifying and underscoring the theme of lost women with a haunting musical refrain from the folk song "Barbara Allen." Sim's commitment to the role is at times astonishing; his Scrooge's Christmas-morning ecstasy is a marvel of giddy technique.
3. Santa Claus
- The Movie
This is the delightful story of a master toymaker who discovers a magical kingdom of elves at the North Pole. There he is entrusted with wondrous, special powers – to become the world’s most beloved patron of Christmas…Santa Claus! And there he meets Patch (Dudley Moore), and eager-to-please elf who becomes mixed up with a dastardly toy tycoon’s (John Lithgow) plans to take over Christmas. And so begins Santa’s greatest adventure of all – to rescue his faithful elf and to save Christmas for all the children of the world!

4. The Polar Express
Destined to become a holiday perennial, The Polar Express also heralded a
brave new world of all-digital filmmaking. Critics and audiences were divided
between those who hailed it as an instant classic that captures the visual
splendor and evocative innocence of Chris Van Allsburg's popular children's book,
and those who felt that the innovative use of "performance
capture"--to accurately translate live performances into all-digital
characters--was an eerie and not-quite-lifelike distraction from the story's
epic-scale North Pole adventure. In any case it's a benign, kind-hearted
celebration of the yuletide spirit, especially for kids who have almost grown
out of their need to believe in Santa Claus. Tom Hanks is the nominal "star"
who performs five different computer-generated characters, but it's the visuals
that steal this show, as director Robert Zemeckis indulges his tireless pursuit
of technological innovation. No matter how you respond to the many wonders on
display, it's clear that The Polar Express represents a significant milestone in
the digital revolution of cinema
5. Shrek The Halls
Shrek The Halls This is a holiday classic. The humor appeals to children as
well as adults in the same manner as the films. It spreads a message of
togetherness and family unity for the holidays as only Shrek, Fiona, and company
can. It has wonderful twists on holiday tales, songs, and traditions that keep
you laughing until you're wiping away tears.
"Shrek the Halls" is sheer brilliance and a fat dose of holiday
hilarity. Don't let the price scare you away. The years of laughs are well worth
the price-tag - besides folks, "quality, not quantity."
