I’ve decided that since everyone has a short attention span (myself included), I am going to start writing movie and tv reviews in 5 sentences or less. That way people might actually read my blog all the way through, and it will force me, as a writer, to be succinct. Which is something I never am. Hey, according to Benjamin, it’s never to late to change.
1. Benjamin Button is a marvel of a movie whose poetic words and unbelievable filmmaking will make you believe that $9.00 is indeed an ok price for a good solid movie.
2. You will be dumbstruck by its simple yet complicated commentary on mortality.
3. You will be awestruck by the astonishing transformation of the main characters, and accept that Brad Pitt can actually do more than Ocean’s 11-13 would have you believe.
4. You will leave the movie theatre thinking about the awesome power of a movie to transport you, move you, and make you think (more than you probably wanted) about your own stance on immortality, mortality, and life itself.
5. And, finally, you will need to pee before the movie, because it clocks in at 2 hours and 47 minutes, and you cannot miss one scene.
