Win a DVD of Slumdog Millionaire!

April 26th 2009 22:39

A while back, I reviewed "Slumdog Millionaire", a film that needs no introductions and ,really, no reviews. It's a film that has been so widely praised and awarded that, if you read my review, it's probably because you've already seen it.

Have you? Or did you forget what it was about?

If not, 20/20 Filmsight and Icon Entertainment are giving away 15 copies of the new DVD release of "Slumdog Millionaire", which means readers of the site are going to be shrieking and flinging emails at me.

Fling away, dear readers! For your chance to win a DVD of "Slumdog Millionaire", send your name, address - and tell me what you'd do with one million dollars. Send the email to xxx. Competition has now closed.

This contest is only valid for Australian residents.

Despite the controversy over the movie, and my slightly negative review, it's a film that'll be a terrific addition to your DVD collection. The sights and smells of India will be mystically transported to your den, with your home entertainment system irrevocably damaged by the soundtrack by M.I.A.

I've just pressed a secret button that notifies the police. Enjoy the last few minutes of your freedom.

I'm probably a bit late coming to this but I am going to have a try anyway. What a good DVD to add to my collection so I will cross my fingers.

if you'd never leave the house, why would you need a lift?

I re-visited your Slumdog review and I didn't think it was negative at all. We all knew he was going to win from the beginning of the film, so the trailers gave nothing away there really.

Also, despite the criticisms from everywhere that it was unrealistic, you went to a lot of trouble to explain why the film was so engrossing.

Thanks for the opportunity to score a copy.

morgan, I believe Tooheys will replace your faucets with lines to their regional keg reservoirs.

Janet - thanks for reading that again... definitely, the film was a fun watch, but I suppose I was disappointed by many elements of it.

If you're interested, Orble blogger Matt Shea wrote a nice piece on unfairly praising/blaming Danny Boyle for the movie.

Hi Cib,

I haven't watched Slumdog and doubt I ever will. Looks to frighteningly sweet and sounds like a bad sitcom episode..must admit to an aversion of Bollywood cinema too..though their rehash of Star Wars was a good laugh.

Needless to say I am out of competition...just wanted to comment on your blog to let you know I'm still reading.

Johnny, thanks for reading! Yeah, Slumdog is unlikely to be up your alley... some memorable scenes of Mumbai, though...
