Jamal finds himself on the game show “Who wants to be a Millionaire”, and this film tells the story of his life that has lead up to this point. The film is a truly amazing, and a visual experience worthy of the praise that it received from the major awards. The film’s story is so unique, and different that it is a must see for anyone. There are some enjoyable moments, and there are some sad moments. Mostly, this film gives us an insight into what life must be like living in the slums of Mumbai. This film is a romance story, and story of adventure. You want to see Jamal succeed, and at the same time you can’t believe the life that surrounds him. It is so believable, yet so shocking to see what daily life in the slums resembles.

This film is a true surprise. Audiences will love it for it’s heart warming depth, which is particulary impressive given the nature of the theme that surrounds the film. There are many truly depressing underlying stories, the way in which Director Danny Boyle has turned this into a unique, and enjoyable film is to be commended.

What makes Slumdog Millionaire outstanding is not only the story, but the way in which the story is so craftfully filmed. There is breath taking moments. There are hysterical moments. The story is enjoyable, and it is easy to feel for the characters. The way in which colour is captured is remarkable, and beautiful, the costume and set are gritty, and amazing. This film deserves every bit of praise that it receives.

"Writer Peter Morgan's legendary battle between Richard Nixon, the disgraced president with a legacy to save, and David Frost, a jet-setting television personality with a name to make, in the story of the historic encounter that changed both their lives. For three years after being forced from office, Nixon remained silent. But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview to confront the questions of his time in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency. Nixon surprised everyone in selecting Frost as his televised confessor, intending to easily outfox the breezy British showman and secure a place in the hearts and minds of Americans (as well as a $600,000 fee). Likewise, Frost's team harbored doubts about their boss' ability to hold his own. But as cameras rolled, a charged battle of wits resulted. Written by alfiehitchie"

Goofs: Factual errors: Reporting the unanimous decision (8-0) of the Supreme Court in the case United States vs. Nixon, the reporter says that "Chief Justice" Rehnquist took no part in the decision. That's partly wrong because in 1974 William Rehnquist was still an Associate Justice (he became Chief Justice in 1986), while the Chief Justice in charge was Warren Earl Burger.

"Bella Swan has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy, plastic girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother remarried and Bella chooses to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she didn't expect much of anything to change. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance - unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. That's right - vampire. But he doesn't have fangs - that's just in the movies. And he doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. Somehow or other, they will have to manage their unmanageable love. But when unexpected visitors come to town and realize that there is a human among them Edward must fight to save Bella? A modern, visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair - between vampire and mortal. Written by http://www.summit-ent.com/"
