The original's better and makes more sense, but the remake's a pleasant movie. Jennifer Lopez is too wooden for most of the movie, but there's a nice scene when she's demonstrating the tango.

“I’m not a very big fan of ‘Slumdog Millionaire,’” Mr. Rushdie said. “I think it’s visually brilliant. But I have problems with the story line. I find the storyline unconvincing. It just couldn’t happen. I’m not adverse to magic realism but there has to be a level of plausibility, and I felt there were three or four moments in the film where the storyline breached that rule.”

After a pause, he added, “And I’m the only person who thinks this.”

Kristin Scott Thomas is excellent in Philippe Claudel's I've Loved You So Long. The movie is enjoyable for the most part, the story is somewhat traditional but warm and full of empathizable emotions. The denouement is a bit soapish but there is enough good in the movie to make it worthwhile.

It's probably wrong for me to leap to this judgment, but just the thought of Tom Cruise striding purposefully down the hallway while saying "Operation Valkyrie is in effect" has irrevocably turned me away from ever seeing that movie.

I think you should go so I can read some entertaining posting from you on imdb.
