I had seen the earlier film, East is East, though I didn't remember it till I visited this site. So I enjoyed this picture all on its own.
And it stands on its own quite well. I found it well written, well acted and a fascinating look into traditional Pakistani culture. Lately all one hears of Pakistan is war and conflict. So it was a real pleasure to see the people through their own eyes.
I thought the acting was superlative especially the Mr. Khan and his wives, though young Sajid does an excellent job and has much to do in the movie.
I thought it was terrific. I liked that a message in it is that in matters of the heart we are all pretty much the same. Outstanding

Yo Moviegoers, I just saw the best movie. Slumdog Millionaire. It's playing at the incomparable Palm Theatre. This is a fantastic romantic adventure.
It tells a fascinating story of two brothers, Jamal & Salim from a slum in Mumbai, Bombay to y'all stuck in the 20th century. This is an epic that does not disappoint as it follows the boys and a girl they befriend.
Jamal befriends and ultimately falls in love with Latika but life is not simple for orphans running loose in India and the kids have some serious scrapes. Jamal is on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and how this uneducated slumdweller can answer the obscure questions is the spine of the plot.
Powerful romance, action adventure, fascinating glimpses of an exotic culture, great story, beautiful photography and people. Ya gotta see Slumdog Millionaire, it is wonderful. It's at the Palm.

Yo, Moviegoers, My honey was determined to see either Australia or The Day the Earth Stood Still. I voted for the latter since it's an hour shorter, but she wanted the epic romance, oh well.
How bad was it? Well, pretty bad. Now it did have it's moments and I can be a sucker for lost children and women in peril, and it plucks those heartstrings with vigor but also with every cliché they could squeeze into a nearly three hour epic.
Baz Luhrman who made Moulin Rouge, which I loved, made this turkey. Both star Nicole Kidman, mad for her, but Luhrman's cleverness enhanced Moulin Rouge, but just sucked the life out of Australia. And did I mention that it's a bucket of clichés?
Really disappointing. But Christmas brings up a lotta great choices. The Palm has Cadillac Records from Detroit and the, not to be missed, Slumdog Millionaire from India. Also could'a seen Seven Pounds with Will Smith or Sean Penn in Milk.
So skip Australia unless you're desperate for a bodice ripper.
