I thought it had a lot of parallels with forrest gump too. I like Benjamin Button a whole lot more.

Gran Torino
http://l.yimg.com/g/images/spaceball.gif ****ing awesome film... went to see this Friday with PaperHurricanes. Made me laugh like hell and shed tears as well. Brilliantly made. Cleverly executed. Dialogue wins though, hands down. Ya Italian prick barber.

It's a short story, the only thing they really took from it was the concept (man lives life backwards). The "feel" of it, for lack of a better word, was completely different.
The same screenwriter wrote both, which is why they were similar. I've only seen 7 movies made in 2008 so far, so I couldn't really fairly say that anything was the greatest.

Not a bad film, but nothing really set it apart from the standard road trip movie, and some of the characters got rather annoying. Great soundtrack though.. between Animal Collective, Elliott Smith, M. Ward.. yep. |

This was surprisingly very good. I had terrible expectations for this going in but I had to see it because I love Rick Gervais. I thought that Hollywood writers good make an unfunny movie even with the funniest man alive (IMO) but I was wrong, it is hilarious and cute little romantic comedy. |

Flyboys and Where the Buffalo Roam.
Flyboys was pretty good although I had very low expectation for it. WTBR was amazing. Muchhhh better than the modern version with Depp. (Fear and Loathing)

Decent little chiller that does'nt resort to typical teenage cliches. Also worth it just to see British Actress Emily Blunt:

Slightly messy revenge thriller with a few loose ends and gaps in logic but for a very low budget film it is certainly watchable and Gillian Anderson is still hot
