Slumdog Millionaire
Slumdog Millionaire is the story of an impoverished Indian teen who is one question away from winning the top prize in the Indian version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

Children of Men
Children of Men is a vision of the not too distant future (2027 to be precise) where the human race is no longer able to reproduce. Whilst I liked the look of the trailer, I’m usually a fan of Clive Owen who plays the leading role in this film, and so expected this to be a pretty average affair.

Crash
A story about several racially and socially divided individuals living in Los Angeles, that through a number of events over the course of two days, come in contact with each other with predictable and unpredictable results.

Flags Of Our Fathers
The first of a few brief film reviews I plan to end the year on, given the fact that I’ve seen a few movies during my three months back in the states. First up, ‘Flags of Our Fathers’, I film that I went to see with Tung and Fabricio one night after work a few weeks ago.

Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan
Last Friday night I went to see Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. This is the second time I have watched a film in a US cinema, so alongside my review of this film, I’ll also share some thoughts about that experience as well.

The Movies of Ken Korda
Being a massive fan of ‘The Adam & Joe Show’, it was a happy day when I discovered Adam Buxton’s blog. Better still, over the last few weeks he has been uploading some short interviews he made with Ken Korda for ‘The Last Word’ on More4.

The Island
A film about tomorrows dangers of human cloning, or advertising space for today’s technology corporations?
-
Ray
Having seen a preview of Ray I was keen to see this movie, even though I knew little about Ray Charles or his music. With my brother having already seen this movie 3 times already, and willing to see it a forth, I knew if I was to miss this film I would be seriously kicking myself.

Garden State
Never before have I waited with as much anticipation as I have for this particular film. I don’t know why. It was only whilst browsing the movie trailers in iTunes that this particular film was singled out for suspending the boredom. But from that single viewing, I have waited seemingly forever to see this film.

Spiderman 2
One of the big releases of 2004, and already a huge success worldwide — but this could be said of many films that Hollywood throws at us. However the Spiderman franchise has a good reputation to preserve, and as sequels go — this does the job.

Club Dread
As let downs go — this may be up there.
