Slumdog Millionaire

Rating: 1/10 (22 February 2009)

As per usual, the Academy got it wrong once again. Let's face it, 9 out 10 times they usually do! Let's face it, awards are for the living and not for the dearly departed, and neither are they for the ones left behind. Don't think Heath really cares much anyway. Slumdog Millionaire, so much hype, so hype, so much regret that I even bothered, when it should really have gone straight to DVD, never mind TV. After all it's just the normal rags to riches story, this time plastered across an Indian background. Been there, seen that......big YAWN! While it was a good watch, the acting was static, and the question master extremely irritating! I was hoping the goons would get him eventually..... An amazing performance by the likes of Philip Seymore Hoffman and Meryl Streep go just about unnoticed. Has the Academy gone completely mad?? Well, here's to a lot more madness from Hollywood this year. Watch it and weep!
