Slumdog Millionaire

One would have to be living in a bubble to not know there are problems with poverty, violence, abuse, corporation and hate that dominate life in any number of countries. After sitting through 45 minutes of this movie I understood why so many Indians were highly offended by the depiction of the country and it's people presented in this movie.
I don't care that the movie has a happy ending, reality doesn't have a happy ending. But the fact that director Danny Boyle capitalized on the worse aspects of the society is insulting to the country and it's people. When the people in the theatre at the showing I attended found the scene where Jamal falls into the cesspool hysterically funny I knew that it was downhill from there on. .
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Leatherheads

It's very entertaining, but certainly not up to the caliber of Mr. Clooney's previous directorial efforts. However I enjoyed Leatherheads, in spite of the fact that some of the dialog and scenes were all too familiar. The chemistry between Clooney and Zellweger is worth the price of admission.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
