The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Brad PittThe Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Cate Blanchett

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Great special effects;
Brad Pitt looked ninety years old.
But you’ll spend three hours.

Cate Blanchett is great,
Even as an old lady.
A strange but good film.

Frost/Nixon

Frost/Nixon

A blast from the past,
Nixon has a sweaty lip;
Worth your ten dollars

Entertaining flick.
Frost looks just like John Edwards
Check this movie out.

Valkyrie

Valkyrie

Explosions were cool;
Militaries are complex;
Hitler was a douche.

Cruise can’t speak German;
This movie put me to sleep;
Ultra depressing.

The Day the Earth Stood Still

Keanu Reeves comes
to Earth and gets all preachy.
With a big robot.

It lacked the key phrase;
no Klaatu Barada Nikto.
But had a cool orb.

Quantum of Solace

The plot of this film:
leftovers from the last film
with a bland villain.

The rest of this film:
It was a car commercial
starring Daniel Craig.

W.” was good.
Oliver Stone played it safe:
no real surprises.

Josh Brolin was good.
Condoleeza was awesome.
I give it three stars.

Tropic Thunder

I laughed a few times
And there were some funny parts
but all said and done–

Not a great movie.
The saving grace of the film?
Tom Cruise (Les Grossman).
