Brief Thoughts on Benjamin Button
stalepopcornau.blogspot.com 12/27/2008 — Much like a certain other nigh-on-three-hour epic released recently David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin is a great flawed film. It is indeed the sprawling film that it had been made out to be and I thought it was really great - some parts ...
THE PERFECT END TO A YEAR OF OBNOXIOUSLY UNINSPIRED CINEMA
antagonie.blogspot.com 12/30/2008 — Tonight, a lump of coal for Christmas. And by God, this disappointment hurt, more than just about any other disappointing movie I've seen in this whole goddamnable year of underachieving cinema. Not that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a ...

This past week, a whole lot of you probably took in a screening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (I took the girl to see it last night), and you've probably shared your opinions with friends, family and significant others. Some feel it's just way too long, while others argue it needs ...

The curiously conventional case of Benjamin Button —
Reel Fanatic
For the record, let me just say that it brings me no pleasure at all to tear into David Fincher's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." I've been an avid Fincher fan from the start, and I certainly don't want to begrudge him his moment in the sun, but I wish it could have come with something ...

Ever wish you were three hours younger?
Ambitious and rambling, lacking in narrative theme, David Fincher’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button never lives up to its novel premise but collapses instead into a mass of style over substance, eventually becoming what might be the biggest ...
REVIEW: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (A-) —
Getafilm
As I've mentioned in my Reel Life installments, the best material for movies often comes from the simplest of stories. Though obviously a work of fiction, F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story from 1921, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", is a good example of such high-potential material. The ...

Finally I have seen this movie after months of waiting. I really have high hopes going into it and in the end I was really disappointed. "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" has got to be the most visually stunning movie of the year, art direction, cinematography and visual effects wise ...

And I thought I was harsh for asking a guy to turn off his cell phone. A man was shot because he was talking with his son during a screening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button on Christmas Day, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer .
Reportedly, 29-year-old James Joseph Cialella told ...

Sarahnomics
Was I blown away by The Curious Case of Benjamin Button like I expected to be? Sometimes, but not as often as I thought, and not for the reasons I would have predicted. David Fincher’s latest film is a gorgeously photographed fable that teeters close to, but never quite crosses into ...
