Movie to see: Slumdog Millionaire

If you haven't already seen this film- see it asap! The film is by Fox Searchlight and directed by Danny Boyle (of Trainspotting and 28 Days Later). It is likely up for best picture and best director at the Academy Awards. I don't want to give anything away- but the general synopsis is that a street kid from the slums of Mumbai scores a spot on the show "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" and as we go through the show's questions, we see the parallels to his life in a series of flash backs. It was such a great story and it really took me through all ranges of emotions.
