Most recent movies seen in bold. For 2009, I've changed my rating system from a 10 point to scale to the following. Best of the Best Taken Glad I Saw Them The International (I really enjoyed this movie. It was really interesting. Got a bit slow at one point, but well worth seeing) Underworld - Rise of the Lycans Eh The Unborn (it had the hot chick from Cloverfield on it) Blech He's Just Not That Into You This was my Valentine's Day torture session. I figured it would be good for a short nap. The wife woke me up twice during the movie b/c I started snoring loudly. I'll admit that when I was a awake I did laugh a couple of times. By in large, I couldn't wait for it to get over. It seemed like it would never end. The damn thing lasted over 2 hours. The wife did like it though. I suppose if Jennifer Connelly would have looked hot in the movie, I could have endured it better. They had her looking plain jane homely.) On the List to See... My Bloody Valentine 3D Friday the 13th Watchmen The Last House on the Left Knowing
I've heard that many times. I just can't make myself go see it. I don't care for an India movie or movies about people playing "Who wants to be a millionaire" in India. I'll wait for it to come out on DVD or Bluray and then see it. I'll most likely say it is a great movie once I see it.
Can't help you on the India part although that is just the setting. But it's really not about the gameshow. That is merely the vehicle for much larger themes. I think if you've ever been poor, ever struggled, ever loved, ever had sibling issues, then the movie can't help but strike a chord. I think you will like it. Can't wait to read your review.
vball's right. The gameshow is simply a vehicle for much much larger themes. The way the kid knows each answer is the story. I know all of you will like it.
I liked Slumdog Millionaire. I thought it was a little slow in spots but overall a good movie. Taken was pretty good too. I was very disappointed the The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I didn't like that much at all. The shots of NO we in the 30's were cool but that's about it.
Taken Doubt MILK All excellent. Will watch Slumdog next weekend. Also want to see Frost/Nixon. I am a sucker for historically based movies (ala MILK).
Just checked out Taken on Friday. That was an amazing movie. Definitely one that I will buy when it comes out on DVD/BluRay. Most anticipated list: GI Joe Transformers 2 Angels and Demons Xmen Origins: Wolverine Star Trek Terminator Salvation Fast and Furious 2012 Yeah, I'm prolly gonna end up spending half the summer at the movies.
