Hello One and All to the Recomedia blog! Here, yours truly and and a finite number of cohorts in media-crime will be posting all the news and not-news you need to know about crap that we think is really good….Recommended Media is the name of the game and I intend to misbehave…
So for my first post, i figured id analyze the 2009 Oscar sweetheart, Slumdog Millionaire. Slumdog is a Brutal, if not touching, story about Jamal Malik, a bright boy with a troubled past who manages to beat out thousands of other hopefuls and make it onto the Indian variant of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.”
Now you wont find any spoilers here, but I can tell you with almost all certainty that this should be the movie to win best picture this year at the Oscars. The movie has an endearing quality that i haven't seen in a film since Director Danny Boyle’s Last Film Sunshine, which many of you may know as the only way Chris Evans could ever possibly redeem himself after the suck-fest that was Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Morpheus…
This film has already won an bevy of awards, including Best Film at BAFTA and Best Motion Picture in the Drama Category at the Golden Globes. And its poised to sweep the Academy like a small child questioning the meaning of reality after a dentist visit.
So yeah, take the time out of your busy schedule to take a look at Slumdog. Its quite possibly the best movie you will see all year.
The sad part is, the only place for this blog to go now is downhill. Oh Well, I'm sure ill think of something.
