Slumdog Millionaire 85% (R rated) B+

I thought this was another one of those boring arty-farty type of award winning movies... but boy was I wrong. The storyboarding is really good and the director David Boyle did a good job in bringing out interesting parts of the Indian people, life, culture, love, religion, etc... A feel good movie that gives hope for all those who feels that they are stuck in the rut.... A rags to riches tale nicely told in a very unique way where it blends in knowledge, culture, religion, life, love etc...

This 8-Oscar winner does not in my introduction. Watch it to understand our neighbours more... ;) Watch it to appreciate all the little things that we're already blessed with. Watch it before you listen to the soundtrack to appreciate Indian music more.

Revolutionary Road 71% B (R)

This movie gives hope to people who thinks that their lives are hopeless, dreamless, sad and unexciting. A very simple story which address the very complexity of human lives. 2 person who loves each other very much and devoted to making each other happy only to neglet their own needs and feeling totally miserable about it. And the bottled up misery turned into depression and irrationale thinking, all hell breaks lose.

Recommended watch for young couples and those who are planning to start a family as it shows how stressful and self-sacrificial having and raising a family is... when you're not ready or when your heart is not totally focused on having one.....
