... to see Slumdog Millionaire as soon as it is in a theater near you. You will thank me, especially come Oscar time when none of your other friends have seen it yet.

It is touching, it is funny, it is dark, it is hopeful, it is real, it is dazzling, it is beautiful, it is gritty, it is all this and more. But above all, it is just plain good. See it alone, on a date, or with friends. And then, take everyone you know to see it. You may hate me for over hyping it, but you would be stupid. Just go see it and then we can talk.

Also good, but hard to recommend... Frost/Nixon and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Both great films, but not easy, for different reasons.
