{movie review} Slumdog Millionaire

Post image for {movie review} Slumdog Millionaire

by Monica on November 24, 2008

Slumdog Millionaire was a reminder that a stirring romantic love story does not always come gift wrapped.  There are raw and violent scences (although beautifully shot) that will regretfully deter me from recommending this to my daughter, but give strength to this emotionally heartbreaking tale.  Jamal (played by Dev Patel) recounts a compelling story of how the pieces of his life brought him to the fate of becoming a millionare. Your heart will cheer when he finally wins both the money and the girl.

It was the glitter title that caught me eye but this was more about color that glitz.   The colors on this piece are all my favorites…black, light pink, red, cream, mushroom.  The entire [...]

Kristen Scott Thomas was brilliant in the film I’ve Loved You So Long.  I loved this movie…especially the French location and the warmth and acceptance of the sister and her eclectic family and friends.  And even though I was close to figuring out the end, I didn’t mind…I loved the moments in the film that brought [...]

{travel-Prague} A Prague Day Afternoon

The Bakeshop is the perfect spot to stop for a really good cup of coffee and a slice of expresso chocolate chip loaf.  They also serve a light healthy lunch of salads and sandwiches.  This beautiful cake was in the window and looked more like a painting.  
Floor after floor of galleries with few visitors…my idea [...]
