I thought the chick that played his daughter did a phenomenal job, however. I'd like to see her in more things.

He looked good though no?? It was almost as good as slum dogs......maybe even better but sadder..... Anyway, I was totally blown away by Rourke...I didn't realize he had it in him.

I don't even know what Thirteen is, but she's that crazy bitch that was fucking Marilyn Manson? Man, I have a ton of pop culture I've absorbed without actually putting a name to a face. Welp, she may be nutters magoo, but she's damn fine at acting.

And a damn fine rapper too. Check out the end of "Free Enterprise".


Last Movie: Boiler Room, that movie was the perfect role for Ben Affleck; 100% douche the whole movie.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Given what I'd heard, I went into this expecting Forrest Gump 2 and, while that's a little harsh, there certainly are similarities.

Technically, it is - in every aspect - a marvel. However, it's not the meaningful of profound work that it holds itself up to be. If we take it as a story about age or time or how the macrocosm effects the microcosm, it's not successful.

The characters are just there while things happen around them. It's like watching a scene of someone driving a car in an older movie - sure the background is moving and the driver is rotating the wheel - but you still know that it's just a projection and that they're being jiggled about by a stage hand.

I realise I sound harsh here but I liked it fine and watched it as a love story set around someone with a condition, rather than a movie about larger themes.

I will say this though, the sequences with the clock make a really nice short film that deals with those themes in exactly the way that the film as a whole does not.

Just watched Amelie. Loved it.
