Thanks to ents manager Steve for sending me this this morning.

I was lucky enough to catch a screening of Slumdog Millionaire – Danny Boyle’s oscar-tipped Mumbai-set drama last week and it really lived up to the hype. Such a simple idea to structure a film around a game show. It sounds sketchy and even a tad cheap at first. But the execution, as hinted at by this alternative version, is outstanding…

If you only see two films in January, make it this and Mickey Rourke’s The Wrestler, which I’ve reviewed here.

This will be the last blog entry before Christmas and the new year as I’m away from tomorrow. So I wish everyone a happy seasonal period and I’ll see you all on the other side…
