So I still haven't gotten around to reviewing the sundance movies that I saw. I will be getting short reviews out this week though.
I feel like I owe Slumdog Millionaire an apology. After actually watching the movie it turned out to be better than I had imagined. Was it the best movie I have ever seen? No. Was it deserving of the praise it garnered? For the most part yes.

Hmmm. I have to disagree a bit on the whole Slumdog praise. I feel it was a bit much. The movie was good, different, but it reminded me of City of God which came out years ago. I guess, "When lightening strikes..." and all that. The timing was just perfect for this movie. Once somebody in Hollywood thought it was cool, everyone else was too afraid to disagree. I did think the music was great and for the first time ever I didn't feel like gagging when I heard Paper Planes by MIA.
ReplyDeleteI am still raw about the whole Slumdog thing. I wanted Danny to win his well deserved Oscar, goddamn it!
