The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

It's not often that there is more than good movie out at a time. I've been having a hard time picking which movie I want to see lately. This time I settled on Benjamin Button starring Brad Pitt.

I've come to expect great things from Mr. Brad Pitt and I must say, he did not disappoint me. I wouldn't say he is the greatest actor in the world, but he sure does know how to pick them.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a very touching story about a man who ages backwards. He is born an old man and lives his life growing young. You could imagine the effect this would have on a person.

The movie was directed by David Fincher. Fincher also directed Fight Club, starring Brad Pitt, which is one of my all time favorite movies.

This is a great movie to see unless you are pressed for time. This movie is 166 minutes long! Although, it doesn't seem like it. If you have the time, see this movie!

Gran Torino

Well, I watched Gran Torino this week. This is greatly because my husband wanted to see it. Generally, it's not the type of movie I would go and see. I've never been a Clint Eastwood fan. He is a great actor, I'm just not into Eastwood flicks. I have yet to unwrap the Million Dollar Baby DVD that I have owned for a year. (One day I'll get around to watching it.)

Well, the movie started out slow (not boring, just slow) and I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. However, it didn't take long to grab my interest. Some of it was predictable but it kept me interested. The ending was a bit of a surprise and in the end I was glad that I had watched it.

Clint Eastwood was surely a star in this film. He gives you that "one person can make a difference" feeling. Not a movie I could watch over and over but absolutely a must see. The movie has already made top 250 on IMDB.com.
