I just finished Frost/Nixon. It was kay, but here’s reviews on other stuff.
1. Slumdog Millionare
Rating: 8.5
Storyboard: Jamal Malik is a Muslim Indian who lives in the slums of present-day Mumbai.. When he is 12, Hindus come and burn his village, and kill his mom. He escapes with his brother. He helps out a girl, which ends up being his girlfriend. Then he is mass adopted by Maman, who tries to get children to beg for money. Before Maman can burn out Jamal’s eye, (because blind beggars who can sing get more $$$,) him and his brother, plus the girl run away. But, lady is later caught. During this, you hear Jamal explaning to the authorities that he’s not cheating on Who Wants to Be a Millionare. Soon, his brother steals his girl 10 minutes after he finds her, and rapes her, then Jamal gets a job serving Chai (tea) at a phone company. Then he finds his bro again, trusts him enough to hold his girl AFTER ALL THAT HAPPENED, and: what a suprize! He steals her. Then he ends up on Who Wants to Be a Millionare, which by the way, is his girlfriend’s favorite TV show, and the authorities are convinced Jamal isn’t a cheater (he wasn’t,) and when it’s time to Phone a Friend as a life line, guess who he calls? His Bro. His girlfriend picks up, and in stead of asking the answer to the 20 million Rupee answer, (about $250K) he asks where she is. He dosen’t find out either of the questions, lol. Soon, she runs to the area, Jamal wins, and they find eachother, and his brother died in a bathtub full of money, wtf. Then in the credits, THERE’S A DANCE!
Comments: It fits in too odd. How did Jamal get on the game show, Why did he always trust his ass-of a brother? I don’t know. Long, but OK movie.
Should We Watch it? Yes.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttom
Rating: 8/10
Story Board: The Great War ended. Everything’s happy, except when yoda-baby os born. So, his parents leave him on a doorstep. Think he’s gonna get picked up and loved? Wrong. They end up stepping on the baby right in the face, lol, and for a cradle, he gets the inside of a clothes drawer. Old baby can’t walk, he uses a wheel chair. Lots of people in his place die. He meets Daisy, and she likes him, not knowing he’s about her age. Soon, some guys give 12-yr old old kid (nobody knows his last name) Scotch and takes him to a whorehouse, lol. “Ow, it hurts!” Then he gets a job as a sailor with the ever-so-drunk Captain. Soon, WWII breaks out, and the tugboat gets ambused. Old Teen is the only survivor. He loves hummingbirds. Then he moves into a place, and has an affair with someone 2x his actual age. He’s 35ish, looks 65. Then he finds out his dad’s last name is Button, and he makes buttons. See what they did there? Funny! Then as he gets younger but actually gets older, he meets Daisy again. He gets dumped though. Then his stepmom dies, and as he’s 40 looking, he marries Daisy, and impregnates her. Then he leaves her. Couldn’t you imagine your dad looking just like you? Then he gets dementia, and yells at black people, because he dosen’t remember eating lunch, 2 seconds after finishing it. Then he dies as a baby. Then Daisy dies in a hospital during Hurricane Katrina.
Comments: Almost 3 Hours long. Very annoying because by the time you came to watch it, if you’re 4 when you enter the enormous movie, you’ve likely gone through puberty once it ends.
Should you See It: Ony if it’s 6 am and you have time to spare.
Frost/Nixon: I’ll do this one later, it’ s 2 AM as I’m writing.
Or is this only a government cover-up? It would take an Australian TV host to find out.
