Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Another epic -- of sorts -- spanning from 1918 through to the 21st century. But there’s a switch: The heart-tugging time-bender tells the story of a man, Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt), who is born as a very small 80-year-old man and then ages backwards -- meaning the older he gets, the younger-looking he gets. Ah, don’t we all wish. Besides a shoo-in for a Best Makeup nomination, director David Fincher’s intense but quirky touch, along with his Fight Club star Pitt, should give the odd-sounding Button a boost.
