Slumdog Millionaire

You may have noticed the movie/TV drought of recent weeks. We broke that streak with "Slumdog Millionaire". I know this sounds stupid, but I thought it was going to be a Bollywood musical. [I swear to the heavens there was a railroad yard dance number in the trailer, no???] Instead it was dark, sometimes violent drama that still managed to resonate with hope and the power of love. Grade: A-
