Like most years, 2008 brought us a few great films and some awful ones, but most of all it was a pretty average year. Here is a list of the best and worst.

Mamma Mia! sold more than 2.25 million units worth more than $30 million in its first day of domestic DVD and Blu-ray sales on December 16, Universal Studios Home Entertainment announced.

She sings! She dances! We've heard she can act. Meryl Streep is a hot commodity nowadays.

ABBA rocks the charts after Mamma Mia hits the theaters. The legendary group's greatest hits has hit #1 on the national catalog chart.

A former James Bond is singing ABBA songs. 'Nuff said. Find out what made Pierce Brosnan take on a role in Mamma Mia! and how he was able to face the terrifying prospect of singing on the big screen.

The much-anticipated Batman Begins sequel comes to the big screen this weekend, as fans salivate over an epic showdown with Gotham's most vile villain. The Dark Knight's other two enemies, ABBA and talking chimpanzees, offer considerably less drama.
