Slumdog Millionaire (2008): Former slum street–child, Jamal, a contestant on a quiz show is one question away from the grand prize when he's detained & interrogated by police. Through flashbacks we're provided with how this 'slumdog' knows the answers. Bollywood meets Hollywood.
Babel (2006): Interlocking stories of a Moroccan family, a couple of American tourists, a mute Japanese schoolgirl, and a Mexican maid & her two American charges. One bullet brings it altogether. Culturally diverse, with universal human emotion.
Queen, The (2006): Portrayal of Queen Elizabeth, and those around her, during the time of Princess Diana's tragic death. As events unfold, and the Palace remain tight–lipped, Tony Blair steps in as general public demand an official response. Controversial & poignant.; DVD $14.95
No Country for Old Men (2007): Llewelyn, a Vietnam veteran, stumbles on a grissly find of dead bodies one morning while hunting antelope. Examining the site, he finds a case filled with $2 million & hits the road. Enter ex–special ops agent, Chigurh. Edge–of–your–seat stuff. Brilliant.
Little Miss Sunshine (2006): An eccentric, eclectic, Hoover family come together when 7–year–old, Olive, is accepted to enter a beauty pageant. Travelling across America, to get there in time, in a beat up old van, family dynamics and tragedy play out culminating a hysterical finale.
