"Cancel whatever you're doing tonight and go see Slumdog Millionaire instead."
- The Boston Globe
I love movies. I love the whole experience. The popcorn. The licorice whips. The giant vats of cola I can't drink without having to exit the theatre halfway through a production for a pee break. I love it all. And as we often are in love, I am usually disappointed.
I am jumping on the bandwagon late in the game, I realise, but I live in a small town that refuses to show anything other than lowbrow TeenDanceAction movies. I had to drive 100 km to get a theatre playing anything not starring someone who has appeared on Page Six in the last week. And Slumdog Millionaire did not disappoint. It was entertaining. It was thrilling. It had a little bit of everything: romance, drama, humour, tragedy, rousing Bollywood dance number.
Jai Ho* indeed.
*Victory to thee.

Slumdog hasn't reached theatres yet here either but there is the local kiosk that has all the latest.I somehow think that the events in Slumdog would be considered as hitting a trifle too close to the Trini way of life in some neighbourhoods. We got it on Friday. I concur also. Did you go to Kingston to see it?
Trenton would be a lot like Lindsay - not a chance of that film getting there in the near distant future.

We did indeed make it to Slumdog for our date night. Awesome, awesome! Characters, story, filming, dialogue, evolution. And the dance number at the end totally rocked. I'm also bummed the leading actor is 17 years old. Cause man, he's dreamy.
