FAMILY VISIT AND OF COURSE MORE MOVIE REVIEWS

My son and his wife came this weekend for a visit. We had a fairly good weekend, thats all I will say about it. We went to see SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE on Saturday and on Sunday my hubby and I went to see Valkyrie with Tom Kat. We really enjoyed Slumdog. It was a very different kind of film, which held our attention till the end. It was an international film concerning 2 brothers who become orphans in India and how each brother ends up on a different road. One wins a gameshow with big money and the other leads a life of destruction. It is also a love story and the music, even though it was Indian was pretty good. I needed some tissues for this movie too! The director did a good job with it. Valkyrie was about German soldiers attempting to assassinate Hitler. I had no idea at all that his own people tried to kill him. The movie pointed out that 15 attempts were made on his life. Unreal, right? you would think there was one German who could have carried it out. Tom Kat did a good job in this movie. His other movies were bombs! I knew that many German soldiers did not like what Hitler was doing with the Jews and all, geez, Im sure someone could have nailed him good!
The weekend is over and we have next weekend to plan for. New weekend, and of course New Movies. Looking forward to seeing Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino , Daniel Craig in Defiance and Decaprio and Winslet in Revolutionary Road.
