movies ,and the month of april

we watch two movies recently, Bolt and Slumdog Milionaire. I like how they pronounce millionaire in India, so does my wife. It's a different take on the emphasis of the letters. Anyway they were both really good.
I guess I will start with Bolt cause that's the first one we watched.
It was pretty good it was funny. It wasn't too long. It did take a while to get to the conclusion though. There was a good balence between humor and excitement in it. Bolt is a good character and his voice was played by John Travolta of all people. I was kind of suprised when Heather told me that. This is definitly a kids movie and I'm glad that the people who made this didn't try to sugar coat anything. Bolt would hold a car with a badguy in it over a bridge, that was awesome. You don't see that in some kid's movies. So it was a pretty good movie, and I would reccomend it to anyone really. It's a family film, It's a cartoon but it has a certain appeal to adults too. This is something that Disney is good at.
Slumdog Millionaire is a great movie. It was directed by Danny Boyle who did another movie that I really like, Trainspotting, there were connections from this movie that reminded me of the Trainspotting. Like the running scenes and the scene when the kids were playing sports in the begining of the movie.
The characters were really the best part of this movie, I'm not surprised that this is movie is based on a book either. The three main characters, Jamal, his brother, and Latika, were all really well developed. This movie jumped around a lot. But it wasn't hard to follow. Supposedly there are twelve other scenes in the movie that's like another half of a movie worth.
I wonder how many deleted scenes there in an average short film?
Well they were both great movies, and I could watch them again.

April is begining to be a busy month. Heather's birthday is in two weeks and I have more tests and two research papers to do this month. So that's kind of a lot of stuff to do.

the more I listen to Demon Hunter the more I like them.
