First off, Brad Pitt is always cool. I love
his movies. So does my GF, which was evident as she elbow jabbed me watching the
"young n handsome" Brad cruising on a motorcycle. With the Curious Case of
Benjamin Button, Mr. Angelina is far from the only reason why you should see it.
Born a baby with the body of an 80 year
old, Benjamin is abandoned by his father on the steps of a New Orleans nursing
home. He's taken in by the poor caretaker of the home, Queenie. The movie
follows Benjamin's life as he ages in reverse, as the people around him grow
older, he gets younger. The special effects make you almost believe this is
actually possible. This movie is actually fairly similar to Forrest Gump,
there's even a crazy boat captain. No offense to Forrest, but Benjamin Button is
just... I don't know, cooler! So well put together, you won't even realize you
just watched a movie that was almost 3 hours long.
The characters are amazing. The special
effects are amazing. Apparently Brad Pitt in a leather jacket, wind blowing
through his hair on a motorcycle... is also amazing... but whatever Meghan. Cate
Blanchett ballet dancing in the dark was pretty hot too. Stop what you're doing
and go see Benjamin Button NOW. It'll make you feel good about life and the
people in it. It'll also make you wonder how the hell Marley and Me is beating
this movie at the box office.
