Yesterday, I saw:

Body Of Lies - meh, typical corny terrorist movie. Mark Strong's performance was great though.
Revolver - first time around I watched it, in the cinema, I thought it was great but now....what a fucking irritating movie. I like for your consideration plots/endings but this movie was simply just a mess. Definetly worst of Ritchie's work.
The Wackness - GR-EAT. Wonderful coming-of-age movie and Ben Kingsley is simply awesome.

It was an eventful Sunday.

went to see Slumdog Millionaire yesterday and it is certainly a very good movie, leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside while also shaming you with your ignorance of the conditions that these kids call home. :tup:

Well he is Irani, so wheres the surprise?
I know lots of Iranis who are living abroad and don't have any clue on how to speak Farsi.

Indians hated this movie though. They found it having a harsh and unfair image about India.

I saw War Inc the other day. You reminded me of this by mentioning Tomei because I read one review of it which described War Inc as (I paraphrase)) "a rare post-Oscar role for Tomei in which she wears clothes."

ya, the Oscar's proved that India ruuuuulesssssss!

Indians shut the Oscar's down
It's all good. Like anyone else each non-traditional group gets three shots at the Oscars. Ask the retards(Rain Man, Grape, Gump)... India got the first one and crushed it. Who's next? Which of the brown peoples will step it up? Poll anyone.:eyebrows:

In mu opinion the best movies of 2008 were:

WALL-E
Wall-E was OK. A little disappointing from Pixar, IMO.

Yeah, but the same is true for Italian-Americans and Sicilians for The Godfather epics. You just can't please everybody, and just because it's a movie doesn't mean it's a documentary.

That they did... save for that British director. :p

In all honesty, while I thought Slumdog was a bit subpar for a best film Oscar -- particularly given the other unheralded films that did this style so much better and with more riveting dialog -- I am happy that it won. It is a solid flick work seeing.

And hey, ultimately the subcontinent deserves some kind of street cred in the Western world.
