~Just a few months before the attack in Mumbai,comes this movie about terrorism.very ironic it seems but anywasy... This is a story about a "common" man (this guy starred in monsoon wedding) who wanted to make a difference in his country. It's a whole new level of twists and turn which at first may seem too predictable once you started watching it. It entertains you with humor and suspense. It was very captivating and intriguing, because we as viewers all thought that this common man was a terrorist, only to found out in the ending that he was not and then we know what his real reason was... Although some parts of the scene were boring and a little dragging for me. They can be as well deleted in the story. But i think overall it was not that bad not like most indian movies where there has to be punjabi dancing or singing involved. A must see for people who likes watching indian flicks.

~haven't been postin much for a quite a while now, been busy and too lazy with stuffs i needed to manage... anyway, i'll try to give updates whenever i have the time...:-)

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE -2009

director: Danny Boyle ( also the directed Trainspotting)

won oscar award for Best Picture...Best Original score...

Before oscar hailed this movie to be this year's best picture. I was already curious to watch this flick but really didn't have the time, and when i finally did...it never dissapointed me.

I myself must admit that i love watching indian flicks, bollywoodish kind of genre, so this movie was definitely interesting for me. What attracted me the most were not the actors who played in this movie, rather, it was how the director draws us inside the culture and the history that is India. Inspired by a book called Q & A. It is a fast pace movie, not the slow ones where it gets boring in the middle...He showed us what the real India is, the good and the bad side of it. It begins with questions seem unanswered but it ends with a triumphant hope. A typical bollywood as some might say, but certainly of a different twist. I won't spare you much of the details... you just have to watch this movie to appreciate life and how poverty can be powerful in times of despair and loss. Ost- was also very nice, been listening it for a while, my favorite track would be- MIA.
