Very good movie: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button


We saw this move today. I thought Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett were both great. I'm not sure how a 32-page short story became a 3-hour movie, but I liked, and I was never bored.

I agree. I was never bored. The old (physically looking) short guy - was that really him?

What did you think of the tie-in to Katrina?

Do you think it's Academy-Award worthy?

I don't know that I loved it, but I did like it, and it was really interesting.

That was Aunt Tammy in the above post.

I don't how the special effects with the old guy worked, but it definitely looked like him!

I thought the Katrina tie-in was strange, but that's Brad Pitt's big cause, so I figured that's why it was in the movie.

I can't say if it's Academy Award worthy. I really liked it, but I haven't seen any of the other so-called Academy Award contenders.

I'm glad you liked it. I really want to see this movie, and Brad Pitt now really annoys me, so I was hoping I could get past it. I'll try.

Brad Pitt doesn't annoy me nearly as much as Tom Cruise...

Katie B said...

Agreed, Nat.

Stephanie said...

Totally agreed. But it goes like this.

1. Tom Cruise
very close second. Brad Pitt

Oh, no. That's nuts! I think you're letting your dislike for Angelina color your opinion of Brad, and that's unfair! She sucked him into her sinister web!
