Obviously, upon checking into the resort, he looks up and sees Sarah and her new boyfriend, a rock star super stud. This sets up as a thoughtful romantic comedy.

GET SMART: Maxwell Smart, as agent 86, is here again, and he has us right where he wants us. The evil organization (KAOS) vs the good guys (CONTROL), the shoe phone, and all the classic quotes. It is worth the look back at the 1960's spy spoof series.

ROLE MODELS: Danny and Wheeler, who sell energy drinks, might be seeing some hard jail time after trashing the company truck. The way they can avoid being locked up is by doing communuty service. Their task will be to work as mentors with difficult children as sort of a big brother. A good situation for some good laughs.

STEP BROTHERS: Two forty year old child adults, who still live with their single parents, are going to share a bedroom because their parents have wed, you have one crazy situation. Put Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly acting as these two idiots, and this has the makings for a very fun film. This movie is a sure fire bet for a good laugh in 2008.

TROPIC THUNDER: Overloded with good actors this movie is a spoof on vietnam war movies. To get better results from his spoiled actors to make a first rate war movie, the frantic, and abused, director Damien Cockburn into the wild jungle, and leaves them there by themselves. The goal is to overwhelm them so they will produce a work of genius, which will be caught on hidden cameras in the area. When the director dies unexpectadly by stepping on a real land mine, the actors are now truely on their own, and they start acting, thinking it's a big set, but the bullets flying are actually real. Great cast with incredible make up for Robert Downey Jr.and Tom Cruise.

ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO: Rent is over due and Zack and Miri, platonic friends since childhoold, need to make some money. What will they do? Oh, thats easy, start making pornos. As you can imagine this seems like a good recipe for a fun movie.

Dowloading movies from internet vendors has quickly become one of the most popular ways or getting films. Look on the internet to locate websites to get free downloads.
