Movie Review - Benjamin Button
If you haven't already seen Benjamin Button, you MUST go and see it. What a fabulous movie! Ones like that don't come around very often these days.
It's the kind of movie you see that you don't want it to ever end. And it is kind of long, so for a while it seemed like it wouldn't end, but that was a good thing. I don't know what kind of movie magic they used to age and de-age Brad Pitt, but oh my goodness! I had forgotten how gorgeous he was when he first started out. He's fabulous at any age, but when they de-aged him to about 17, he could literally take your breath away. And Cate Blanchett is no slouch either. She is drop dead gorgeous.
Oh and while you're in a movie mood, go out and rent "Mrs. Pettigrew Lives for a Day". I know the title is totally lame, but if you love romantic comedies, you will adore this little confection of a movie. I had seen it in the theatre, but I went out last week and rented it again just to be sure and I loved it just as much the second time.
Keep an eye out for Lee Pace from Pushing Daisies (another huge favorite of ours - we are so sad that it has been cancelled). He plays a dashing piano player who is very different from the Ned character on Pushing Daisies. I'll be interested to see what they put him in next. With those big, melting brown eyes, he's just my kind of guy. Trust me, you'll love this movie!

Have been looking forward to Benjamin Button for a while (babysitters, where are you?). Glad to hear it's as good as it looked.
I love Miss Pettigrew, as well - such a gem! And how on Earth did Pushing Daisies get cancelled? Why, oh why?!? I've been moping about it for weeks.
Great! I am so going to watch it i.e drag the husband with me to watch it! Can't wait =)
