This weekend was monumental on many levels. Saturday night we ventured out to see the much lauded "Slumdog Millionaire" This thought-provoking flick has critics and audiences raving from the UK, India, and across the US. The acting was suberb, the story amazing, the music electrifying. Highly recommended for anyone, but be warned. There are disturbing, truthful images and storylines throughout the movie. It may have a "feel good" ending, but it's a rocky road to get there.The Women-a remake of a 1939 movie, the star-studded cast presented a true "chick flick." Not a single male in this film from start to finish. (though apparently, the original had some truly different plot!) A darling Meg Ryan is back with a touch of "Kathleen Kelly" from You've Got Mail. Annette Benning, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Debra Messing round out the main characters with Bette Midler, Carrie Fisher, Candace Bergen, and Cloris Leachman supporting. Eva Mendes plays the femme fatale. A great movie to see with your girlfriends or if you have some really girly guy friends...
Your guy friends WILL enjoy Speed Racer! Like a green screen cross between Talladaga Nights 
and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this family oriented movie is sure to please. Emile Hirsch, Susan Sarandon, Christina Ricci, & John Goodman create a movie that looks like fun. I never followed the original cartoons, so I can't vouch for how true the film is, but for a light-hearted, good-guys-win flick, Go Speed Racer!
