Did you have nice holidays?

I'm so excited to see Benjamin Button. As usual we are several weeks behind over here; the release date is at the end of January, I think. If you are smitten with the movie, I have very high hopes! :D

Benjamin Button is WONDERFUL. It's bittersweet at times, and I didn't always agree with the choices that the characters made, but I understood them. And the characters were LIKABLE, which is so important to me. (Especially after having seen the atrocious Seven Pounds; I was relieved to be done with those characters.)

I've always thought Brad Pitt was attractive--most everyone thinks so--but he's beautiful in this movie. There's something very peaceful about the way he plays it, very different from his usual wild or playboy types. He's breathtaking and sweet, and I just smiled the whole way through, even when I was sad for him and the others. Ahhhh.

I just finished reading Revolutionary Road, and that movie is coming out soon here. I keep hearing that Leo does a fantastic job. It's not a feel good movie though, so I hope it's a well-done movie.

I still want to see Doubt, and Slumdog Millionaires, but they aren't on at my local theater yet.
