I finally saw Slumdog and found it to be superior to Milk and The Reader, but I have no plans to sit through Benjamin Button.

I admit to falling asleep watching Slumdog. But I’ve been assured by those who endured for the “Bollywood” dance ending, that I was fortunate.

FWIW, the best movie that I saw last year was a tiny film call "In Bruges". It's probably not for everyone, but for me it really worked.

It's a character study that's focused on two assassins that need to lay low for a while. Bruges it's self becomes a character all it's own. The dialogue is interesting, Colin Ferrel gives his best performance yet, and Ralph Fienes and Brendan Gleeson both should have been nominated in supporting roles.

Here's the best part - no politics in any way. It does what movies do best; It explores the complexities and frailties of the human condition.
