By herculesrob The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a marvelous and peculiar film about a man who ages backwards.  Based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the screenplay really doesn’t withhold anything from the short except the reverse-aging aspect.  That being said, screenwriter Eric Roth (Fo...

By Sameer Barkawi I’ve been seeing reviews touting the acting of the film, and it’s all true for Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett and the rest of the supporting cast. They made me wish the movie was about them, rather than Benjamin. Nothing Brad Pitt said stuck with me after I left. The movie never connects you wi...

Rate Opinion: The Interesting Disconnect with 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'

Original at RopeofSilicon.com external link    Wed, Dec 24

By Brad Brevet Roger seems to have gotten caught up in physical appearances, but forgets when Daisy (Blanchett) and Benjamin get together they are meeting in the middle. Both of them look similar in age and I believe are the exact same age (or only a year or two off). When Roger asks, "Does he remember her as a...

By James Rocchi I saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button weeks ago, and yet every time I tried to think about it -- whether it was to contemplate a decision in David Fincher's direction, a deviation from F. Scott Fitzgerald's story, a moment in Eric Roth's script or a note in the performances of Brad Pitt and...

By Colin Boyd The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a better experience and a better production than it is a singularly entertaining movie. You're better for having seen it, it's definitely something to discuss further, but there's not as much to enjoy about it as you might think. It can leave you wantin...

By Brad Brevet Whole bunch of Oscar noms across the board in all the major and tech categories, would seem almost certain noms for Pitt and Blanchett, Fincher, Roth, Dp, editor, etc etc. There are so many supporting roles that it will be hard to sort out noms in those categories, but if I had to call out one, i...

By brocknroll Don't get fooled by the advertisements of this film, although the film was advertised as a "Bob Dylan" biopic with many different actors playing Bob Dylan, it is NOT a biopic film. It is not really about Bob Dylan. None of the actors, Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, etc play Bo...

By the indefatigable mjenks Another pleasant surprise was Cate Blanchett; even though I'm not a big fan of hers (I don't know why, I'm just not a fan), she does a good job as the main villain in the story. Only once did I want to make a Lady Galadriel joke, ...

Rate Theater Review: Cate Blanchett Is Hedda Gabler

Original at Blogcritics external link    Tue, Mar 14

By Playgoer What Ibsen may have done for womankind has been much debated, but for women in the theatre his gifts do keep on giving. As victimized and oppressed as Hedda Gabler and Nora Helman may be in their fictional worlds, stage divas have dominated the stage in their names ever since Ibsen's ink drie...
