Slumdog Millionaire - 8/10. This a love story, y'all. My empty threat: The movie's flaw as I can see it is that, in general, when movies start with children, you grow to love those children, and when those children change actors for later periods, you don't see them as the same person. It's a new person with the same character's name. Think Cinema Paradiso and how Toto the teenager is not the Toto you fell in love with. Or the first half of Persepolis versus the second half. It's not impossible to overcome this, I mean - as you see Salim, the lesser brother, grow up, who he's become is entirely connected to who he was and the decisions he made to get him there while Jamal, the main, in contrast, goes from this incredibly charming rogue to a fairly somber young man, which is, uh, intentional, I guess, but it's not the character you loved. Instead, he has become A Leading Man Who Has Nothing To Offer But His Love For A Girl, and since when was that enough? Empty threat. Good movie. Tell your friends.


So yes. Kung-Fu Panda is still the best movie of the year.
