I finally watched Slumdog Millionaire. I regret not seeing it in the theater. This movie was excellent-very sad at times but finally a movie with a good ending. I was completely wrong thinking it took place in Iraq. Nope-India. It is so sad to see how life is over there. Children on the streets alone is as common as seeing a coke bottle in the road here.
Slumdog refers to the boy Jamal who manages to become a contestant of the Indian version of "Who wants to be a Millionaire?" He is one question away of winning & he is arrested on suspicion of cheating. He then recounts his life on the streets. This is where I say put it on the top of your list to rent or buy. I will say Jamal is so sweet & kind and I believe what keeps him going is his search for Latika.
Hannah Montana.
We saw this Monday in the theater and Hannah fans will not be disappointed. It could have been a bit longer and it wasn't the best ending. Great music & Miley is a good little actress. If I may say, she can sing! Cute little figure too. Could have done without the fight scene between Miley & Tyra Banks.
Next Week: 17 Again

I wanna see the Hannah Montana movie so badly!!! I love the song The Climb. Gives me goosebumps. Miley IS pretty-looked gorgeous on AI last night-and I agree on that cute little figure. I want to see it!!!
17 Again...I may just have to go solo to see it. I want to see this one IN THE THEATER!
Maybe we'll watch Slumdog soon. I can stomach it better knowing there is a good ending.
John and I just finished Slumdog too and it was so good! I think the the saddest part is that the little kids in the movie are actually back living in the slums in India.
I want to see the Hannah Montana movie too but will probably wait until it in on video. BUT I am going to see 17 Again the theater. Go solo Sharon, I am. Or we could go together :)
aww, I feel so bad. I want to go with BOTH of you!!! Anyone knows someone with their own private jet??
Erin, if I could fly down there solo, if only for 1 night, I would and go see the movie w/ you. How fun would that be?
