Mr. Black’s Top Five Lists Of 2008
I decided to do something a bit different. I wanted to put my favorite TV shows and Video Games along with some of my favorite movies from 2008.
So here are my lists. Let me know what you think.
-
MOVIES
1. The Dark Knight

Do I really need to give a reason why this film would be number 1? It is arguably one of the best made comic book movies in cinematic history.
-
2. Let The Right One In

I have seen a lot of vampire movies in my day and this Swedish horror flick is more realistic than any vampire flick I have ever seen.
-
3. Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist

Just an all around great movie. It will take you back to your teenage years and make you feel good about it.
-
4. Repo! The Genetic Opera

A visual masterpiece, especially since it is a musical. It has a great story, with some great creative design.
-
5. The Fall

I know this movie originally debut in 2006 but we got it in the U.S. in May of ’08. A great fantasy film with a beautiful visual style and fantastic storytelling.
-
T.V. SHOWS
1. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

As a die-hard Terminator fan, I could not have been more pleased as to how great they made this show. Chronicles has a fantastic story and character development.
-
2. The Middleman

The perfect T.V. show for any movie or Comic Book geeks. This is a great super hero show which references EVERYTHING.
-
3. Burn Notice

If Jason Bourne and MacGyver had a kid it would be like Michael Weston. He is a modern day Robin Hood/ ex spy.
-
4. Battlestar Galactica

Granted this show has been out for over 5 years now it never fails to deliver. If you haven’t seen it yet, you don’t deserve to call yourself a true geek.
-
5. Torchwood

CIS meets NYPD Blue meets the X-Files. This Doctor Who spin off set in Wales is a fantastic sci-fi/cop show
-
VIDEO GAMES
1. EVE-Online

The greatest Video Game I have ever played. EVE takes place several thousand years into the future where you command your own starship and forge your own destiny.
-
2. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

The conclusion to the epic Metal Gear story. Game play far surpasses its predecessors. The only draw back is a bit too many cut-scenes.
-
3. Dead Space

A great sci-fi survival horror game where headshots will do you no good but dismemberment is the way to survive.
-
4. Mass Effect

An epic sci-fi RPG with a massive universe to explore which will take a lot of hours of game play to complete.
-
5. Soul Caliber 4

Honestly its just a fun fighting game with a pretty cool character creation feature.
