Seven extra dollars to spend and a ride to the theater.

A DVD release. It didn't come here very long, and I lack a car. [Frown]

Oh, don't worry, I watched it.

It was fantastic, even the classic and confusingly random Bollywood credit sequence.

I LOVED the Bollywood credits! Especially since the actors were so NOT dancers.

Great movie. Cool story and wonderfully done!

Yeah, my wife saw it and I was like "Ohhh, I wanted to see that since 2 days ago, it was on Hatrack and sounded fascinating. " [Big Grin]

I've been wanting to see it ever since I read about it. It sounds like a really good movie.

It's good. My only complaint is that they dragged out certain parts.


94% on Rotten Tomatoes?

Yeah, an RT rating that high is rare for anything that's not G rated. Not knowing anything about the movie, but knowing it was rated that high, I was surprised that it had the degree of violence and adult situations in it that it did.

Good movie though.

Am I the only one that thought that the game show host looked like an older Willy Chirino?

It was good but I do think it is a bit overrated. Probably because it is such a heartwarming film.

While I really enjoyed it, I agree that it's getting perhaps a bit more press than it deserves. However, I've had a lot of difficulty coming up with another movie that deserved the awards that Slumdog received. (Of course, I haven't watched a lot of movies this year...) Certainly, I think the best soundtrack award was well-deserved.

I think Let The Right One In was a better film, but you're right, Slumdog is one of the better films in a while.

EDIT: The Wrestler was also a great film.
