B Fuddled Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 does anyone know if this movie is coming to thailand anytime soon? and if not, is it available online? I watched it on watchmovies.com a few weeks ago. Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudbusting Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 not sure if ye're getting it in Bangkok but there's DVD quality versions of it on the internet good film but I didn't love it as much as everyone else seemed to the first half of the film was fantastic but i found the second half a little underwelming looks like it should take best picture at the oscars though you should use this site if you're looking to see what films are available on the 'net VCD Quality If there's a DVD screener version of a film out then track it down but if not don't bother 'cause the quality will be shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endure Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The book it's adapted from is worth reading too - Q&A by Vikas Swarup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seapok Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I saw this film at the weekend, very enjoyable, maybe slightly too long but good film all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBlueEyes Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Slumdog Millionaire was the definitely the best film that I saw last year. Last night it was the big winner and won four golden globes including Best Motion Picture-Drama so my guess is that it will see wider distribution and be easier to find playing somewhere. The other film I saw recently that I really liked and would recommend highly is "The Curious World of Benjamin Button" with Brad Pitt. The movie is based on the interesting concept of being born an old man and then getting younger each day. (A very similar concept to those of us who marry much younger spouses in Thailand which helps us regain some of our youth. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlx Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) does anyone else have advice on where i can find this film online? i couldn't find it at any of the links below (except for a couple of pay sites)... edit: nevermind found some torrents.

endure Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 There's a piece by the author of the book it was based on in today's Sunday Times here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) Totally a must see. For those who enjoyed the young Slumdog star Dev Patel in the BBC show SKINS, Skins will have a new season but with a new cast. No Dev.

stevehaigh Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 agree, great movie. i don't want to give anything away but there are some unfortunate similarities with what happens to poor thai kids with the blind beggar thing. really scary shit.

Jingthing Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Decent film but totally overrated in my opinion. Minority opinion. I watch more movies than a movie critic and Slumdog is at the top of the current heap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unrealistic plot and totally common hero gets girl ending , for all the hype surrounding this film I expected something a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groongthep Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I am not recommending that anyone do anything illegal, but as of last week every under-the counter DVD stand in Pantip had Slumdog Millionaire. "The Wrestler" is receiving rave reviews by the critics in the West too. Anyone seen this one yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yeah, the Wrestler is quite entertaining and good acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemach12 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 If those movies were not releasing, I was planning to hit the Pantip stores. I guess now I can wait couple more days. The wrestler is also getting released week ahead of slumdog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingdongrb Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 From what I have read 'Wrestler' has the comebacker Mickey Rourke in it. I have read that he did an excellent job playing the part as he is good in most of the movies he has been in (One of my favs is 'Diner' from the 80s). From what know and have been told Mickey is a great actor but an arse-hole of a person in real life. I have downloaded 'Wrestler' but have yet burnt it to a DVD and watched.
