Film & TV The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

[_carmi]

Brilliant movie. Anyone else saw it?

Want to, haven't had the chance yet though.

Saw Valkyrie instead, Tom Cruise is crap. No German accents? Pff...

I heard Brad Pitt might get an oscar nod. Was he that good in the movie?

 

[_carmi]

Yeah he was pretty good. The casting was great. Cate Blanchett too was amazing

You went to see Valkyrie? And there I thought you were better than that. Shame on you. That movie was bound to be bad with Tom Cruise in it. The guy will never be what he used to be.

I agree with you on that Carmi, this movie was outstanding i seen it last weekend. quite long thou 2hrs and 40 min. i was cracking up with the old man that got struck by lighting.

the story to me i thought reminded me of a cross between Titanic and Forest Gump. hope Brad Pitt does get a oscar nod

He should get an Oscar nod. His performance is exceptional. Cate Blanchett too was very god.

And yeah the guy struck by the lighting was hilarious.

It is very long movie but I feel if it was made shorter it wouldn't have been as good

lol. I feel shame also

I saw it cause I love history, and the plot is amazing. I knew Tom Cruise would be shit in it when it was first announced. I don't want to be all religious about it, but I think had the main actor been a devout Catholic or a believer at least, it would have made the movie much better... since the original character was the same.

Anyways, agreed. Tom Cruise is over. Last movie where he was decent was Collateral, and I felt Jamie Foxx carried him a bit in that one, and it's easy to play an asshole who shoots people lol

i plan on seeing it this weekend. i also want to see Gran Torino with Clint Eastwood.

I may be bias since I watched the movie about 4 times (I worked at a post-production house where I did quality control) but I found it to be boring. I didn't like old-woman Cate Blanchett (when shes in the hospital in the beginning) and there was too much old-ben in the movie, not enough young ben which would've been cool to see.

Seeing a movie so many times in one day ruins them for me

 

[Pain Of Depth]

could somebody say what the movie is about?

 

[Preach]

This sounds very interesting.

It's a guy who instead of growing older he grows younger. He was born old.
