'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' - An enchanting and deeply touching film. The acting, screenplay and cinematography were all very beautiful! Timing is everything and this film will stand the test...
‘Milk’ - A fantastic film from beginning to end: timely, well-written, brilliantly directed and masterfully acted! I found myself instantly drawn in and brought to tears by tender moments and politically charged ensemble scenes. Josh Brolin's portrayal of Dan White was filled with frustration and angst and gave insight into what takes a man over the edge. Sean Penn's role as Harvey Milk was compassionate and powerful and I see it as a defining moment in an already brilliant career.
‘Doubt’ - Because of the hype, I was really excited to see Doubt but it was a genuine disappointment! Frankly, I'm amazed at how this film is getting such rave reviews! The direction of the story was flawed from the opening scene and neither Meryl Streep nor Philip Seymour Hoffman gave performances out of their comfort zone. To its credit, Amy Adams was excellent and Viola Davis delivered a stand-out performance with a small role! With movies like Milk and Slumdog Millionaire, its a shame that this film is even considered a contender for best movie! Save your money!
