la_samtyrFirst of all, Heath *won*! [But then, you expected to read that here, didn't you?] I have to admit I was terrified he'd be robbed again, like he was three years ago. [Of course, I always believed he should have been nominated for his role as 'Sonny' in "Monster's Ball" but then I'm known to be weird like that.]
I went to see "Slumdog Millionaire" today and it was great. Very different from what I usually see, but then very few films that are so non-US/European in "theme" (and I am using that term *very* loosely) are shown here at all. But it was good, and I enjoyed it. The theatre was probably a little less than half full, but still fuller than most of the Sunday matinees I've gone to recently have been; then again, it was very nice out, not really warm but sunny even if the wind was sharp. Most people liked it, though they were surprised at the violence. Maybe they expected to it be somewhat non-violent? I don't know. I tried to avoid all spoilers regarding it, so I didn't know what to expect.
On a side note, the trailers were not too impressive. The only one that looked decent was "Wolverine" but that was about it.
