The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Current IMDB Rating: 8.2/10
My Rating: 9.2/10

As much as I want to hate this movie - I know it sticks to a formula, I know it has all the flashbacks, I know it's a near copy of Forrest Gump, but it's a wonderful copy of Forrest Gump! I never would have watched this movie if it hadn't been for the fact that Criterion picked it up and decided to release it. I thought, maybe it's worth a shot. And it was. The movie kept my attention and I really liked how they placed the present scenes during the hours leading up to Hurricane Katrina. Very good.
