Well, the account books are now officially closed for the year 2008 as we step into a brand new year today. Last year was only just like yesterday but the Hollywood year's films had tell us many different sides of bright and ugly. These films get what they want, been the Top 20 Highest Box-office Winners award.
The winners list includes the saga between a bat and a clown, a pair of silent robots, an iron hero, old-school adventurer and (surprisingly) a failed-hero.
The losers include a retarded love guru, a racer, Jason Statham in fantasy swashbuckling, Eddie Murphy and some unwanted heroes with the bomb.
