I loved it, I have to disclaim that I am not a fan of Hollywood movies, in fact I doubt I would be able to name one in my top 10 all time, So this type of movie is more my style, The last great art house movie I watched was “Kite Runner” which I saw on a flight between New Zealand and Thailand, that movie was simply fantastic and i went to buy the dvd just for keeps sake.

“Slumdog Millionaire” was not as good over all, I actually was a little disappointed about 75% through the movie, it just wasn’t living up to my expectations, and wow, I couldn’t believe how easy the questions were towards the money part of the game compared to the English version, realistic ?? I think maybe not.

The end of the movie really tied it up though, and for a romantic movie it really was well planned, i am not usually a fan of romance, maybe “Sweet November” the only one I can think of that i truly love, but this movie was another I can say i ended up enjoying a great deal.

One thing I have learned about arty movies is to never make a judgement until you have watched to the end, this certainly fits that reasoning.

It was better than “Revolutionary Road” , but they were were well worth going to see.

Can’t wait to see “The Reader” now, as I have very high expectations, I fully expect it to be better than both of them, but i guess I will just have to wait and see about that.

I would advise “Slumdog Millionaire” to everyone to see, anyone who loves Hollywood movies will be blown away by art house movies of this quality.

The psycho called John was a dead set funny dude and a great asset to the story, pity he was used so sparingly, but maybe any more and it would have killed the buzz. I am not going to talk about the story line or anything like that, just want to let you guys know it is worth the dollars to see it, and it isn’t only because I am a huge Kate Winslet fan.

It was just the pre-movie set up as i am anxiously waiting to see “Slumdog Millionaire” starting tomorrow, and another Kate Winslet move called “Reader”.
