Would you see a movie about
Who Wants to be a Millionaire and the contestant's flashbacks that show you how he knows the answer to each question? Sounds kinda hokey and if this was an American film, I'm sure that's how it would turn out. But the new Danny Boyle film
Slumdog Millionaire is definitely worth checking out. Set in India,
Slumdog centers around Jamal's (Dev Patel) appearance on the popular game show and shows the horrific, fun and sad events of his life that have led him to where he is now. Boyle really keeps this movie moving. It's a wicked fast pace that instantly sucks you in. The National Board of Review named
Slumdog the best film of the year. I'm not sure if it's the best of the year, but it's definitely
one of the best.
Yes, I really did see
High School Musical 3: Senior Year. It wasn't my idea, I took a 10 year old. I am clearly not this film's demographic, but I think that if I was 12 I would have loved it. The characters are sweet and the songs are entertaining enough. The movie is completely harmless. If you're worried about your kids watching anything objectionable, I'd recommend
HSM3 - I don't think the characters even know what objectionable is.
