Slumdog Millionaire
RedLion:
See, that's what I've heard repeatedly. But the posters for it and the descriptions I've heard of it do not make me want to see it one iota.
ViolentDove:
It's actually really good. Better than the book, even. The adaptation for the screen has tightened up the narrative a fair bit and cut out some of the (even more) unbelievable coincidences.

It's not a shocking, visionary storyline. It's just a straightforward movie with a straightforward plot, that gets all it's points across beautifully, through some of the coolest cinematography and best use of music in film that I've ever seen. Get over your desire to see nonlinear jerkoff cinema and just go see a good movie.
Tybalt:
uuuurgh. I thought I would like the movie, it started out on a great introduction, with great stuff about fate, poverty, and cruelty; The entire second half changes into a love story.
If you find something sappy where most people don't, I wouldn't recommend this movie.
Inlander:
It's a really cool movie for the two-hours-plus that you're in the cinema watching it. When you come out of the cinema it doesn't take long to realise that the characters are all paper-thin and the engine of the plot is a pretty tediously cliched and uninspiring romance, but when you're in the cinema it's all colour and light and amazing cinematography and fantastic locations. It's basically pure cinema and I certainly enjoyed it while I was watching it, and it's a lot better than most of the tosh that we're expected to pay our money and go see, but in no way is it the best film of the year as a lot of critics and casual cinema-goers seem to be suggesting. Not even close.
