The Rave and The Rant--02/25/09

Slumdog Millionaire...or should I say millanaire...is such a great movie! I don't normally see or endorse R rated movies, but this one is good. I would put it on the same level as Schindlers List, Gladiator, and The Patriot. It's an amazing movie, with an amazing story. Of course, it's heavy with real life issues, and isn't a movie anyone should just go see to be lightly entertained. It's definitely more of a movie that makes you think about life. The rating system baffles me so much, it's ridiculous that a movie like this is rated R, while a movie like "He's Just Not That Into You" is rated PG-13. Seriously. Slumdog has no sex, and little swearing (and even then all but one of those instances was in subtitles).
