Saw a movie after work yesterday. Slum Dog Millionaire ! and was blown away but the colors the music, the story. Take my word for it - just go see it while you can still see it on the big screen. Will win an acedemy award for sure !
Be interested to hear if anyone else has seen it.

Just on the subject of movies, i saw Frost/Nixon last night and quite enjoyed it. Not quite as dour as it might've otherwise been (in fact, it's deliberately humorous in parts), and a rather enjoyable movie about an interesting piece of political history.
I'll probably go see Slum Dog Millionaire some time in the next week or so.

Funny. I actually saw Frost Nixon the week before and thought it was a very good movie as well. A very small movie in terms of scope but great characters especially Frank Langella as Nixon.
In that genre I saw a great movie 2 years ago called "Bobby" as in Bobby Kennedy. If you like Frost Nixon you will love Bobby. Didn't get much attention at the time but you can still hire it.

i thought frost nixon was good, but a bit dry...really got to be into politics to enjoy it. made me hate nixon all over again though.
hired a good doco the other day at the video shop.. missed it when it was at the movies. "forgotten lies" aussie made about a fraudulent author.
excellent, and if your at the video shop worth getting.

I saw Frost / Nixon yesterday, it was absolutely fantastic as well. Think that it will probably win Best Picture over Slumdog.
It really is a great time to see good movies (as opposed to the rubbish that is on for the rest of the year). Will have to catch The Wrestler, Gran Torino and Milk over the next month or so.
