3 1/2 STARS: SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE


Here's an unexpected flick that'll hit you upside your head. Anyways, everyone knows, when you are a movie junkie, you love knowing about new movies and being on top of your movie game. So, with that being said, I saw the trailer for this movie and I thought to myself, that's a good movie, I'll wait for it on dvd, and the thing about me is, if a movie looks like its crazy, I have to go check it out in the cinema, its just one of those things I do..I need a life, i know, but back to the movie, now, I cant tell y'all how I watched it but trust me, I wish I saw this flick at the cinemas.

This movie is one of a kind, the concept behind it is amazing, creative and it takes you on an emotional rollercoster. While watching this movie, I found myself rooting for the undergod and hope he makes it through, haha, and that's not in my nature when it comes to movies. It's definitely worth a watch, worth your time and you'll get to see the other side of India, the "slums", and also, you'll enjoy the "Amitabh Bachchan" scenes, I know I did. Anyways, I'll let y'all know what I think of "The curious case of Benjamin Button", "Cadillac Records" and "The Wrestler" in the next couple of days. Stay up. Happy holidays.

As the numerically named Air Jordans draws to a close in 2008 with the XX3, starting in 2009, the Air Jordan naming scheme follows a different route referencing the release year. A preview into the Air Jordan 2009 can be seen here. The shoe features all the elements of design you would come to associate with the Air Jordan with numerous details and touches, effectively making it a bootleggers nightmare. Little performance information is known however a release date is set for Saturday, February 14th, 2009.




Taking the iconic Nike Dunk as their platform, the Nike Mad Jibe takes a decidedly more sophisticated approach with its re-mixed upper.

New Iphone Pro


Here's the new iPhone Pro, something that we don't expect at MacWorld 2009 at all. However, we do expect something like this to come at a later date. Why? Because it just makes sense. This concept started as a Photoshop idea by Giz reader Mat Brady. He wants to get rid of his Nokia N95 but can't get himself to buy an iPhone for the same reason other people don't like the current iPhone. Lack of a physical keyboard, lack of a good camera, and not enough storage.I've an iPhone 3G. I love it. In fact, now that I'm in Spain and I can't use the 3G—because AT&T will nail me for the data roaming at a buck per megabyte—I miss a lot of things, from Maps to Facebook. But even while I can't live without it, I can see those shortcomings. In fact, I've bitched about the camera and the storage quite a few times. Mat made his concept and called it iPhone Elite: an iPhone with 60GB of storage, true 16:9 aspect ratio, slide-out keyboard, one megapixel front camera for iChat, and a high quality camera, with good lenses, optical zoom, and video capability.That's good, but we thought it could be a bit better. We fixed the keyboard to make it more rational and compact, losing some unneeded keys. With the space, we added what it's really needed to make the iPhone a true Nintendo DS competitor: A direction pad and two buttons. For the D-Pad, we didn't want to reinvent the wheel and just copied Nintendo's tried-and-proved design.Is this doable now? Technologically, it is. We've seen designs by HTC that get close to this, although they don't have the software and the final polish that this class of Apple product may have. Would it be more expensive too produce than the current iPhone 3G? Of course. Would we want to pay extra for it? Definitely yes.
