Slumdog Millionaire - My fifth favorite film of 08' thus far and 100% on Rottentomatoes. An India version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire??? Yeah, I was skeptical too. However, when you have the director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Millions, 28 Days Later, etc.) at the helm...it is so much more.

It is more like a coming of age store in a unique setting...the slums of India. Think the fresh backdrop and kinetic energy style of film making in the same vein as "City of God", but more of a crowd pleaser. Part coming of age in the slums tale, part gangster flick, romance, dark comedy, and the game show of course.

This will have the audience either crying, smiling, standing, and/or applauding at the end. The official 2008 crowd-pleaser.

Short scene...no trailer cut yet...
