Slummin'

Even before the Oscars last weekend, I heard about Slumdog Millionaire and really wanted to see it.  It was date night with the wife tonight! We decided to do something different and go see the indie film with all the Oscar buzz.  We could have went to the multiplex to see it, but decided on the uber indie Robinson Film Center in downtown Shreveport.  It's pretty new and only has two screens where they show mostly independent films or bring back old films to watch.  It was our first visit to the center and we were truely amazed at the facility.  I highly recommend a visit to see some great movies you would otherwise probably never see!  The perfect venue to see Slumdog Millionaire.  The seats were packed!  I imagine the Oscar publicity last weekend didn't hurt.

In the first scenes of the movie, my wife couldn't believe that the poor in India walk in their own trash and live in shacks built so tightly together.  I said, in some countries it's worse than that!

I won't give away Slumdog Millionaire, but to say it's an amazing story, told very vividly.  If you want to see Slumdog Millionaire at the RFC, go now!  It's the last week to see it there.
