Slumdog Millionaire

I saw Slumdog Millionaire last weekend and left it feeling buzzed. Danny Boyle has created a wonder of a film.

See the trailer here.

Homecoming

I love Kanye West. I saw he posted his new music video for his song, Homecoming featuring Chris Martin on his blog today and really appreciated the black and white cityscape of Chicago. The silhouettes and shadows are a nice touch and weave together Chris’ piano playing and Kanye’s performance beautifully.

See the full video on Kanye West's blog here.

Little Miss Sunshine

Saw Little Miss Sunshine last week and keep thinking about it. It was most definitely the funniest movie I’ve seen this year. Steve Carrell is absolutely brilliant and little Abigail Breslin was absolutely adorable. Crazy week this week but thought I’d post this for now. Go see it!

Sometimes busses need a little push.

The Last Kiss

I love Zach Braff and am really excited to see his latest The Last Kiss which also stars the adorable Rachel Bilson as well as Casey Affleck and Blythe Danner. Written by Paul Haggis (of Crash fame), The Last Kiss is a remake of the Italian film L’ Ultimo Bacio. Can’t wait!

The Namesake!

The trailer for Mira Nair’s The Namesake is out and it’s making me so excited. The film is based on the book by the same name by acclaimed writer Jhumpa Lahiri. The movie stars the amazing Tabu as well as Kal Penn and deals with the identity issues that a boy (Penn) has who grows up in America with a Russian name in an Indian household. See Penn’s blog, which was written during the shooting of The Namesake, here.

Ashima (Tabu) gives birth to Gogol Ganguli. Ashoke (Irfan Khan) looks on.

United 93

I saw the film, United 93 yesterday morning. I felt that it was very well done and although it still is a very sensitive recent event for many Americans, I urge everyone to see it. I keep thinking about it and cannot find the words to tell you all about this movie… Gripping. Powerful. Heartfelt. Paul Greengrass has made a film unlike any other. The film is largely unscripted and many of the personnel from the FAA and the US military who were working on September 11th are in the film, playing themselves. The families of the victims of the flights gave consent for the movie to be made and extensive research was done to find out as many details about each passenger, down to their clothing and what they may have been reading that day. Many of the flight attendants and the pilots are actual working attendants and pilots. The movie itself has not left my mind and thought I’d post it here today.

Edit: I read a wonderful review in today’s New York Magazine by David Edelstein.

Check in for Flight 93 at Newark International Airport.
