After coming within one question of winning it all on the Indian version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?,” 18-year-old Mumbai “slumdog” Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) is arrested on suspicion that he cheated his way to the top. While in custody, he regales a jaded inspector (Irfan Khan) with remarkable tales of his life on the streets and the story of the woman (Freida Pinto) he loved and lost. Danny Boyle directs this Oscar-winning Best Picture.

This is a very good suspenseful movie. It was upsetting at times. The game show was a brilliant plot device. If you enjoy this movie I would also recommend Cidade de Deus (aka City of God). Cidade de Deus is in subtitles but in my opinion a little better than this. I am giving Slumdog Millionaire 4.4 stars. Cidade de Deus is one of the few movies I gave 5 stars. The balcony is now closed.

Famous and wealthy funnyman George Simmons (Adam Sandler) doesn’t give much thought to how he treats people until a doctor (Torsten Voges) delivers stunning health news, forcing George to reevaluate his priorities with a little help from aspiring stand-up comic Ira (Seth Rogen). Judd Apatow (Knocked Up) writes and directs this moving comedy that also stars Leslie Mann, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman and Aubrey Plaza.

This movie is a dramedy. It had its moments but I thought 40 minutes too long. I am giving it 2.8 stars. If it was 40 minutes shorter I would have been given it 3. I do like Judd Apatow, I want him to produce my script when it is completed.

Charlie Kafuman (Nicolas Cage) is a Los Angeles screenwriter battling enormous feelings of insecurity and impotence as he struggles to adapt The Orchid Thief, a book by Susan Orlean (Meryl Streep) whose main character, John Laroche (Chris Cooper), searches for love. Add to the mix Charlie’s twin brother, Donald (also played by Cage), and you have a surreal, Spike Jonze directed gem about the search for passion.

This is one of those movies that begins slow and gradually builds into something. It took me 40 minutes to get into this movie, 60 minutes to love it and hope for the experience not to end. Then the last 25 minutes it got me to hate this film. Seriously! This was a really bad relationship. Smooth move Netflix for recommending this piece of garbage for me. I loved this movie and then I was let down big time at the end. I hate it when a movie starts out great and then ends badly. This is one of those movies. All of you associated with this movie let me down. I am giving you one star. First time ever in my Netflix history to give a movie one star. This was a big FU to me.

As the Film Movie Critic, I get to dislike this movie which I did.

Filmmaker Robert Greenwald takes aim at the corporate giant that’s come to symbolize big business in America Wal-Mart blasting the box store Goliath for allegedly paying substandard wages, skimping on employee benefits and gutting communities. This hard-hitting, emotional documentary profiles the struggle of everyday folks from around the country who’ve committed themselves to fighting the mega-retailer.

When I watch a movie like this I like to hear both sides. You will only hear one side in this one. I can tell you alone of the Walton Family charitable contributions is reason enough not to like them. Apparently there has been a lot of crime in Wal-Mart parking lots. They have security cameras everywhere but only pay attention to what is going on inside the store. Customers and ex-employees said they really don’t care what happens to the customer once they leave.

Rent-a-cop Ronnie Barnhardt (Seth Rogen) is tasked with keeping the peace at the Forest Ridge Mall, but when a flasher strikes, Ronnie has no gun and no power to stop the exhibitionist. A rivalry ensues when the police send in Det. Harrison (Ray Liotta) to crack the case. Can Ronnie bring the flasher to justice before the well-armed Harrison does? Anna Faris also stars in this darkly comic effort from writer-director Jody Hill.

This movie is a dark comedy. It is Taxi Driver meeting The Cable Guy. Seth Rogan plays a true sociopath. You feel sorry for him one moment and the next he is just scary. With the exception of the woman who serves coffee and one police officer in the background, there is not a likeable character in this movie. I can not recommend this movie to anyone except if you enjoyed both Taxi Driver and The Cable Guy. Like I said it is a dark comedy. I liked it because if validated my decision years ago to stay far away from these people. I am giving it a solid 3 stars.

Richard Armitage joins the cast of this award winning British spy series as Lucas North, a former MI-5 agent who’s back on the job after spending eight years in a Russian prison which makes him a perfect fit for Section D’s priority of the moment. But the question is, can he be trusted? His old friend Harry Pearce (Peter Firth) would like to think so but has his doubts.

I must like this show as I am on volume 7. I thought volume one was slow but it kept me interested enough to see the other seasons. If you like political and spy drama along with some action you may like this series. Do not get attached to any of the characters as they are constantly coming and going. I think right now in season seven I have a crush on Ros Myers. I am giving it 3.4 stars.

It took me a while to appreciate this show. I thought season one was slow but seasons 2 and 3 it got more interesting. Although this show takes place before I was born, I appreciate the appliances in the background. It is fun to watch people walk around the office with smokes and drinks.

I have heard of the movie “Bye Bye Birdie” and the actress Ann Margaret but never realized how beautiful this woman was. They showed a clip of the movie and wanted to use it in one of the campaigns. It was nostalgic to see.

Since this show takes place in the early 1960’s, the attitudes back then are very different today. The attitude towards women, minorities, gays is very different and I do know from history that is the way it was.

Seeing this show reminds me of working in an office. It is fun to watch people drink together one moment and at the same time complete against each other.

Isn’t this the BIGGEST question everyone has?

We have the answer for you because this question is fore-front in our minds with every training we do, every new tool we create for you, and every new member we personally bring into Global NPN.

It is the main reason we wrote our report the way we did:

Go Here ==> http://globalnpn.com/freereport

We get so many members asking us that ONE question…

They see the value in our trainings, our offering, the low price point etc. In fact, there seems to be absolutely nothing wrong with our offer at all. It certainly is better than most everything else out there.

But, many hesitate. They have been told by every program or business opportunity that a step-by-step system awaited them, but ended up disillusioned or confused once they joined.

We understand this feeling which is why we designed Global NPN the way we have.

If you don’t want to figure everything out on your own through trial and error, you need to find someone who has reached the level of success you wish to reach and “model” their methods.

We have designed Global NPN to earn you a significant income just for building your own business, plus we aim to provide you with the best training as possible in the industry for the lowest possible price point.

Why would we do this? Why is it so important to us?

The main reason is we use the same exact systems to build our own business. We designed Global NPN to build our own buisness and found it to be so successful, we decided to make it available to everyone.

In other words, we practice what we preach.

We can help you ad an extra $50,000 per year to your bottom line because we have done it ourselves. We KNOW it works because we use it ourselves in EXACTLY the same way we train you to use it.

We “Get It” and we understand leverage.

When you join Global NPN we will help you build a personal business and marketing plan according to your budget. We will talk about what you want to achieve and when you want to achieve it, then show you what you will need to do to reach those goals.

We provide you with a real step-by-step system whether you are setting-up, doing your daily marketing, or generating profit with Global NPN, your list or your primary business.

We make everything blatantly obvious.

You won’t be learning “theories” or how things “should” work for you, but proven strategies backed up by “real-time” numbers. We will share everything with you and get real specific about what you need to do to get the same numbers we do.

I am not sure what else I can say! Anyone who has worked with us here at Global NPN knows we focus 110% on YOUR goals and YOUR business.

Your success is our success, so it only makes sense that we provide you with the best.

I am truly excited to personally work with you and help you achieve your goals and dreams online.

But I cannot do that until you take the next step and join us.

Go Here ==> http://globalnpn.com/freereport

It is your turn to “Get It”…

Hope to talk with you soon,
