The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Not as good as I expected. It was a pretty movie and the one war scene in the movie that was as exhilarating as any, but the movie was just too long. It was certainly no Forrest Gump. I don't really see what Brad Pitt's character saw in Cate Blanchett's character either and the timeline seemed wonky. On another note, and hopefully this doesn't ruin the movie for you, I couldn't help but pay close attention to how the actors' faces were digitally altered so that they would appear younger. Don't get me wrong, it was still enjoyable, but I didn't think it was particularly remarkable.
Frost/Nixon
I really liked this movie a lot. At first I thought this movie would be really dull, because the first ten minutes was the splicing of interviews and historical footage and I'm not usually a fan of movies that are historical accounts of events, but once the movie really started, it was like a political thriller. Frost and Nixon had a good ol' boxing match but with words. Word, dawg.
Happy-Go-Lucky
The movie was pleasant enough. It's not really about anything. The main character, Poppy, is this perpetually cheerful woman who is both endearing and annoying. She's not oblivious to things around her in her cheerfulness, as we discover in her interactions with other people. She's actually quite perceptive. Eventually, the events of the movie and her behavior towards others all lead to a gripping confrontation, which was about the only thing that really got my attention. I can't help but mention this: I found her fashion sense horrendous. It was like a candy store barfed on her or a five-year-old picked out her wardrobe.
