Slumdog was great. I didn't want to see it at first because I really don't like stories set in India at all. Then all the hype came out so I broke down and saw it. I'm really glad I did and I'd see it again, in fact, when it comes out on DVD I'm going to buy it. The only other movie on the list that I saw is Frost/Nixon. I thought it was very well done, given the dry subject matter. Frost/Nixon is one of those movies after which you go home and start googling to find out more about the story. I was a little girl at the time of Watergate so I didn't really know what happened. The movie focused on the interveiw and didn't really give the background story, so I had to read about it after I saw the movie. I read The Reader, great book. This will be the next movie I see.

I never saw that much about SDM. Now that it won, there are tv promos like crazy and they mostly keep showing dance segments. I think I saw at least 4 this afternoon.

Just so you know. There aren't any dance sequences in the movie itself. The whole dance scene comes at the end, during the credits. I don't think I'm spoiling anything to say that.

That could be very misleading to people who have never heard of the movie! I plan on seeing it, but it will be a rental or PPV. We just about never go to the theater anymore.

Yes, I've heard that from many people, that the trailer is misleading.

Still, it's a good movie, definitely worth watching.
