Staffer : Kyle Teese, senior Favorite Movies : “The Shawshank Redemption,” “The Green Mile,” “Forrest Gump,” “Signs” and “Unbreakable” What I’m Watching : “Slumdog Millionaire” Genre : Drama “Slumdog Millionaire” is not your average rags-to-riches indie flick. Directed by Danny Boyle, the Academy Award-winner for Best Picture is sure to win over the hearts of many. With an intricate storyline and empowering young actors, “Slumdog” portrays the beauty of friendship, romance, and overcoming the many struggles that life presents. Though some criticize the movie for its gritty and depressing nature, “Slumdog” is perfect for anyone.
