Slum Dog Millionaire

By on November 4, 2008 in Inspiration

A respite from the non-stop election coverage that I will be glued to for the next 24 hours. Just went to a screening of this movie and absolutely LOVED it. Please see it. It will break your heart and then make it soar. See it, see it, see it. Okay – back toy your regular scheduled programming aka Obama ass-kicking.

    Aloha Gotham,

    The movie looks intriguing, I certainly will watch for it. Unfortunately, there is only one theater on the island that may run it. Alas, living in paradise does have some drawbacks.
