Film by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting and 28 Days Later), no one I have ever seen before acting in it. It deviates a little from the typical Academy Award Winner formula (troubled beginning, things get better, tragedy, epic music, main character accomplishes something touching or heroic, main character dies; Lawrence of Arabia, American Beauty, Gandhi, Braveheart, etc...)

It's an extremely well done Shakesperian Comedy; is how I would describe it.

Yeah I loved it. It's too bad most of my friends are jumping on the anti-mainstream bandwagon and refuse to like it.

Screener's been available since December. You just picked up on it

I like the Bollywood song-and-dance number at the end, lame and neat all at the same time :-)

It's fantastic. I didn't see too many movies last year but it was probably my favorite of what I did see.

Pretty much all the big movie releases had screeners released in December. You can pretty much get any one you'd like. I did :-)

I still have many sitting on my desktop waiting to be watched. But I've been watching Peep Show lately.

Blotus, blue on black links do not work. Change your colors.

Also, Slumdog Millionaire is one of the worst titles I've seen for a movie in a while.

I think it's a good name for the movie. Describes it pretty well and it's a very unique name that stands out.
