Since I am in the movie business I thought i’d talk about movies and stuff that you might wanna watch or watch out for.

To Watch

Slumdog Millionaire (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1010048/): this movie was recomended to me by a friend of mine, she says is one of the favorate movies of hers. I on the other hand initially dismissed it as some random movie about some random subject, and well i’m not much of a fan of indian movies, you know how the steriotype goes, cheesy indian films with horrible echoy music and lots of dancing invovled. This movie on the other hand is not one of those. Directed by Danny Boyle, who is a really good director btw (I watched Sunshine after watching Slumdog Millionaire). Anyway you got enough movie review and shit like that out there to read, and this is not another movie review, i’m just saying this is a good movie, great story, makes you think, and go watch it and enjoy the music in the movie too.

The Curious case of Benjamin Button (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421715/): Right, to be honest i don’t like Brad Pitt, not because of he’s last name, but rather i just don’t seem to have a good impression of him after watching “Burn after reading” in which he was a moron. But anyway i wanted to see this movie because of the CG head that they had put in for the first 52 minutes of the movie to age Brad. I was kinda half expecting the CG to fell short somehow because well i know how much of a pain it is to create CG human, especially CG human head with complex actions in close-ups. My worries were proven wrong, the CG is great, I mean there are signs of the head being CG in some of the scenes, and there are scenes in which you just cannot tell the head is CG, and you probably won’t be able to know the head is CG if no one had told you. Not only that, the movie is great too, great story, long movie too, watch it.

(I’mma add more later)
