This unexpectedly fantastic, Danny Boyle directed, gem-of-a-film is unlike any other. Set in Mumbai, India, Slumdog Millionaire follows a young Jamal from the slums whose life is unraveled through a non-linear exploration of his childhood and adulthood–all while being captured, tortured, and accused of rigging Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. If the bazillions of awards and positive reviews failed to persuade you then you’re doing an injustice to yourself. No film better captures the essence of life, love, death and everything in between. Slumdog Millionaire is now available on DVD ($17) and Bluray ($26).
Most vampire films bind creatures of the night into two categories: Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Edward Cullen with the occasional Buffy look-a-like. But Let the Right One In (Låt den rätte komma in) does away with all of the preexisting notions of vampires as blood-sucking narcissists. Instead, it explores the life of a young-looking female vampire and her unending quest to simply survive. On her way, she meets a timid, yet tender, Oscar whom initiates an adventure to remember. This is not only one of the best vampire films of all time, it is undoubtedly one of the most honest love stories ever.

No matter how cumbersome, cliché or expensive polaroids have become, they still have a special place in everybody’s heart. Designer Colin O’Dowd obviously shares the same sentiment as many other polaroid lovers with his so-very-clever creation, the Polaroid Mirror. The vinyl-bound, mirrored glass “polaroid” is a replication that remembers the glory days of the polaroid with purpose and style.

Brushing your teeth isn’t what it used to be. We’ve been duped into thinking that our toothbrush needs to vibrate, have 8000 bristles, and collect data on our plaque buildup. Preserve® has developed an admirable trend with their recyclable toothbrush series that separates itself from the new norm. Made from 100% recycled Stonyfield Farm® yogurt cups, the Preserve toothbrush is simple, eco-friendly, and above all else, incredibly stylish. The best part? Once your colorful little teeth cleaner has run its course, it can be shipped back (along with the case) to be re-purposed into plastic-based items. Being environmentally conscious and keeping healthy has never been so balanced. Oh yeah, and the color options are fantastic.
