I just saw "August Rush," which except for a plot based on incredible co-incidence, was a fairly good movie. Cuba Gooding was the nice guy, Robin Williams was the bad guy, and Kerry Russell was the eye-candy. The lead character was a kid with a familar face, but I couldn't identify him. He was more than a little talented, as were some of the kid supporting players. I saw it on a cruise ship.

> I was just wondering, since this seems to be a site full of quite of a few film aficionados, what people here thought of Slumdog Millionaire. It doesn't seem to have been reviewed for At-a-glance Film Reviews yet, which is a shame.

> I thought it was a fantastic movie, definitely one of the best I've ever seen. I really wonder what the other best picture contenders look like, since I haven't had the chance to catch all of them yet, but they must be pretty terrific if they can beat Slumdog. I thought The Dark Knight and Wall-E were pretty good, but after seeing Slumdog, I don't think either of them stands much of a chance of getting the best picture Oscar.
