Slumdog Millionaire (Danny Boyle Week)

Slumdog Millionaire is the story about a boy from the slums in india who some how through a lang chain of events ends up winning a large amount of money on an Indian quiz show.

This movie won 8 academy awards including best picture, best director and best adapted screen play one and is one of only 7 films to win those three awards as the Oscars Bafta's, directors guild awards and the golden globes.

This film is the best "best picture" winner we have had for years and years it is a story about almost everything movies should be about its about love its about growing up, coming of age, violence, struggle and most importantly its about humanity.

Even the child actors are great this film this film is as close to perfect as a film like this can be it shows the poverty of the slums and the power of the rich in an non-biased way. i love this film its got everything going for it the only problem is if you don't like subtitles your going to have a bad time as about 2/3 of the film are in Hindi NOT English. But i don't mind that i think its fantastic

This film is the definition of a 10/10

Sunshine Review (Danny Boyle week)

To honer the new Danny Boyle Film coming out this week i am going to celebrate this by only reveiwing his films all week

As you could see from the title this i about his 2007 sci-fi movie "sunshine"

Set in the future sunshine is about a spaceship and its crew flying to the sun in order the deliver a nuclear pay load to restart the heart of the sun as they get closer and closer to the sun they find the remains of the lost ship that tried to make the journey to sun before them. They realize the whole crew is dead and they soon find out why as they get closer to the sun.

This film is FANTASTIC as a fan of science fiction films i thought i would like this movie but i was wrong i loved this film every single thing i liked especially the acting special effects and the musical score.

The Acting from Cillian murphy and the rest of the crew is spot on in both showing the hopelessness and wonder of the mission the crew have been given there is a great performance from a pre-captin america Chris Evans Cillian Murphy is amazing. this coupled with the special effects of the film leave you sat there open mouthed as you hope beyond hope the at the pay load will be delivered into the sun. the score only adds to the experience and it helps create moments of wonder and peril and is possibly the best score i have ever heard in a motion picture

This film is amazing and is one of boyles best the flaw in it is it takes a while to get into but the moment it passes the half an hour mark you cant stop watching it

I will give this film a 9/10
