Very short Movie Reviews

(1) Rock On
About a young rock band and how its members take different directions in life before getting together for one final concert. Easy for the mind and heart and worth watching when one wants to get encouraged.
(2) Kung Fu Panda
Animation with a moral behind it: Looks don't matter much, a fat panda saves a village from evil chaps. Worth watching if you have small kids.
(3) Changeling
True story about a single widow whose only child is kidnapped and then police apathy results in a wrong child being returned to her. Extremely gripping movie with a lot of heavy and raw emotion. Worth watching if you want to remove your thoughts from everything else for more than 2 hours.
(4) Slum Dog Millionaires
A celebration of the life of residents living in the slums of Mumbai. Very interesting story, well directed, realistic to a large degree and presents Mumbai in a neat way. Worth watching if you are a middle class Indian chap or someone well off.
