Oscars 2009: How Slumdog Millionaire hit the jackpot
Slumdog Millionaire, which will cross $100m (£68.8m) at the US box office any day now,
Set and filmed in India, Slumdog Millionaire tells the story of a young man from the slums of Mumbai who appears on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (Kaun Banega Crorepati, mentioned in the Hindi version) and exceeds people's expectations, arousing the suspicions of the game show host and of law enforcement officials.
After screenings at the Telluride Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, Slumdog Millionaire initially had a limited North American release on November 12, 2008 by Fox Searchlight Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures, to critical acclaim and awards success. It later had a nationwide release in the United Kingdom on January 9, 2009 and in the United States on January 23, 2009.[3] It premiered in Mumbai on January 22, 2009.[4]
Slumdog Millionaire was nominated for 10 Academy Awards and won eight, the most for any film that year, including Best Picture and Best Director. It also won five Critics' Choice Awards, four Golden Globes, and seven BAFTA Awards, including Best Film.
The film is also the subject of controversy concerning its portrayal of India, Hinduism, alleged persecution of minorities and the welfare of its child actors.

A review of the new song from Rihanna featuring Akon.
Rihanna (Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty) the 'Umbrella' singer and in the prime of her career as an Artist is one of the hottest artists in the industry at the moment. Her recent single live your life in which she featured with American rapper T.I, was a massive hit, both here in the UK and in other countries making it into the top ten in over 10 countries and number. 1 on the Billboard hot 100 list. Rihanna's third studio album 'Good Girl Gone Bad' is her biggest and best to date including worldwide hits like, Umbrella, Dont Stop the Music and Shut up and Drive, and with over 4 million copies sold worldwide.So... is this new song everything that it should or could be?... yes, in my opinion it is.
There is alot of talk about Rihanna's forth album and weather it will live up too or be better than good girl gone bad, and if this is anything to jusde by then i think the new album will release just as many hit singles as her previous album. also rumered to be on her new album is a duet with 'boyfriend/fiance' chris brown.
Now as you know also in this single is Akon, Im sure this song would be a hit if it were released just because of the names involved, akon being a worldwide hit from the word Go, and his first studio album 'trouble' and he just keeps the hits coming and has recently released his third album 'freedom' which features some of the hottest tunes of 2008, i honestly dont know where he finds the time, with his major singing career going on, shooting music videos and writing songs for himself aswell as artists under his own record label 'Konvict Muzik'.
So about this song, the song is about a woman who thinks her boyfriend is cheating 'you bought some nike shoes, why you bying stockings?' this is where rihanna is singing. She also starts to sing about him being in hospital and that she wants to hurt him for revenge, Then towards the end Akon starts to sing and tries to explain himself saying that he hasnt been cheating on her, and that they shouldnt break up because of what the media industry will make of it.
All in all i think this song is great and could be a great summer tune for 2009 but of course it may not be to everyone's taste, if and when this song is released make sure you listen to it because if you like any of their previous work then you will love this song, i guarantee.

They say that the raw talent of youth cannot be subdued and like the sun it is sure to rise after a brief night of darkness.
The very essence of our story revolves around this magical tryst between destiny and talent.
Shiroshi (Finalist – Sirasa Dancing Stars Season 1) is a phenomenally talented young dancer who emerges out of the squalor of an impoverished urban neighbourhood through her performances with her group of friends. But her journey from the backwaters to the glitz and glamour of stardom, takes many a twist and turn. Her unexpressed feelings for fellow dancer and singer Dushyanth (winner – Sirasa Dancing Stars Season 1) remains just that; unexpressed. But fate would have it that her talent is spotted by Greshan Dunuwila, (played to perfection by veteran cinema star Ravindra Randeniya) who sees the immense potential in this young performer quite by accident. While Dushyanth is left behind, Shiroshi is swept up into a life of glamour...
This fateful meeting introduces young Shiroshi to a whole new world. A world of music, dancing, new associations and perhaps even a new romance. But life does not allow bridges built across age old social boundaries to last too long.
The story spirals into a battle for love, and an opportunity to prove. Sudesh (Roshan Ranawana – finalist Sirasa Dancing Stars), a young dancer pairs up with shiroshi in her performance only to fall head over heals in love, despite the intentions of competitor Nilanthi (Nilanthi Dias – Runner up – Sirasa Dancing Stars Season 1), who has eyes only for Roshan.
In his attempts to groom Shiroshi into stardom, Mr. Dunuwila experiences the full force of social stigma that stare squint eyed at this middle age man and his platonic love for a young dancer. Nilanthi’s father, (Sanath Gunathileka – a seasoned star of Sri Lanka’s silver screen) tries his utmost to influence her not just away from Roshan. His wife (played by Malini Fonseka – the queen of the silver screen in Sri Lanka) fumbles as she tries to understand her husband's intentions.
Culminating in a dance performance that will make cinematic history, our story is more than just another movie. Yes, it is about a boy and a girl. It is about dancing. It is about music. But most importantly our story is about talent, and its ultimate victory over all that suppresses it.
Dancing Star.
