I'm bored...
With the depression of daily news stories, the recent cold weather snaps, and the conspicuous lack of Holiday parties, I am already feeling those winter doldrums creeping up on me. If you are feeling the same, you might want to get out and about and fight the urge to crawl up on the couch and hibernate-- it's way too early in the season! Check out some interesting tidbits we've found...
Movies @ the Jacob Burns Film Center
Jacob Burns is one of the best movie theaters around -- they show interesting, cutting edge newly released movies, amazing family classics, have the best concession stand, and comfy seats! This week, check out the new release Slum Dog Millionaire, a wonderful story that will make you remember that things maybe aren't so bad here after all...
For the Parents: Westchester Exclusive: Slumdog Millionaire. Boyle. 2008. 120 min. NR. UK/US. "A Hollywood-style romantic melodrama that delivers major satisfactions in an ultra-modern way..." (Los Angeles Times) Winner of the Cadillac People's Choice Award at Toronto Film Festival, Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik (Dev Patel), an illiterate 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai who, with little expectation of winning, enter's India's version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" to prove his love for his girlfriend, an ardent fan of the show.
