In addition to being a karate master, international sex symbol and the first African-American to pilot a spacecraft, I also have an opinion of films I see. The following are those very opinions:
Film Review, The Wrestler: A very good movie that does justice to the struggles of pro-wrestlers featuring a great lead performance by Mickey Rourke. The most tragic part of the film is its message: Performers are desirable as a consumer product but once they leave the stage, they are as disposable as a empty coke can.
That being said, I'm still ordering Wrestlemania this year.
Film Review, Slumdog Millionaire: Probably should win best picture at the Oscars, which means Probably it won't. We all know the Oscars like to make bad decisions and fuck over "foreign films". As for the movie, I've never been so uplifted by a tale of crushing poverty, religious tension, child exploitation, human trafficking and organized crime.

You didn't think Slumdog was overrated? The more I think about it, the more overrated I think it is. It was entertaining but had no depth beyond surface-level social-political commentary and a very formulaic storyline. I give it the most entertaining movie I've seen in a while (since Burn After Reading probably), but not much beyond that.
But then again, maybe my expectations are too high.
In other news, are you on Twitter?
I didn't pay attention to the hype so I had no expectations. I didn't find it to be too cliche, except the wholly unnecessary bollywood dance scene at the end haha.
What was striking to me was how well acted the movie was, i cam away thinking any one of those cast members could be pwning american movies. Especially that Salim he could be a star in a country without David Arquette movies.
Justin thinks he's from India...so so he's been told.
