Missy, Jen and I went and saw SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE at The Harvard Exit Theater here in Seattle last week. It's a story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?"
We absolutely loved it. First off, I adore almost any movie set in India or that depicts Indian people. It was a fantastic story about 2 brothers surviving under the most bleak circumstances. The love story is epic and there isn't alot of subtitles if that bugs any of you. The soundtrack kicks ass, Indian music of course, but they included a few MIA songs which was genius. It was like MIA, who wrote those songs years ago, had written them especially for this movie. Overall this is the best movie I have seen in over a year. If it is playing near you, go.

I STILL haven't seen this! It's been playing here in T-town for a few weeks now and I just haven't made it to the AMC yet. Ugh. Anyway, all I've heard are great things. Maybe this weekend!
