Frost/Nixon, The Reader & Slumdog Millionaire

I saw all 3 movies now and I really like all 3. Now that I’ve seen The Reader, I’m rooting for that one. I really liked it. It’s a controversial topic on both moral and political levels, but also very emotionally engaging. Kate Winslet and David Kross (who I’ve never seen in a film before) both have amazing performances. I didn’t question the acting throughout the entire movie.

Frost/Nixon was great too. Frank Langella does an excellent job playing Nixon. The directing was great too. It really brings to light a lot of what politics really are.

Slumdog Millionaire was a great feel good movie. It goes through all the violence, gang-life, poverty and police brutality and then finishes with an expected feel good ending. I felt it was a little predictable but still put together really well. Danny Boyle, the director also did Trainspotting…

Still have to see Milk and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and then I have the Best Picture category covered!
