Slumdog Millionaire

Saw the movie yesterday and it's definitely one of the year's best. The trailer doesn't do it justice and they make it look like the kind of feel good date movie that should feature the kind, chubby, androgynous face of Tom Hanks radiating false empathy. I would say it's more akin to City of God than Marley and Me. The important thing to remember is that it's directed by the dude who did Trainspotting and 28 Days Later and he's not going to let you down (Even though there were 100% less zombies in this than 28 Days Later). The best part of the film is the very end where the twist is that you suddenly realize you've been watching a Bollywood film for the past 2 hours.

Here is the trailer, though it will probably only excite Oprah Book Club members and single hipster girls who are all about knitting in Starbucks and talking about how edgy they are:
