I was so happy to see Slumdog Millionaire nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture. After hearing quite a but of buzz about this film, I finally made the trek to the big city of Salt Lake a few nights ago and saw it at the Broadway with my ladies. It's an amazing film- not always easy to watch, it leaves you squirming in your seat from time to time (Stephanie took a break- went for a walk, covered her eyes a lot) but well worth the journey it takes you on... and a happy ending, who doesn't like that?
I must admit the only other Best Picture nominee I've seen is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button- but it doesn't even touch Slumdog Millionaire. I guess I better get a few more nights out planned- I really want to see Milk, Frost/Nixon, The Reader, and Revolutionary Road. I might have to head to SLC again to catch these films, not a very good selection in Utah County most of the time.
On that note- don't forget about the BYU International Cinema, the very best independent, classic selection of films- playing on a big screen- in the state perhaps. There are 3 films showing per week through the end of the semester in April. I haven't been in a long time- in college we used to go every week... but I've got the schedule posted this winter and I'm planning it in. Best of all, it's free.

Quinn you make me laugh so hard. Slumdog Millionaire was an amazing movie. I will be surprised if it doesn't walk with atleast three of those crazy little guys.
