New DVD Releases for the Week of May 5 2009
Here is a list of the new DVD Releases for the week of May 5 2009 (for TV on DVD releases head over to Daemon's TV):
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Synopsis: "I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: A man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be. Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett with Taraji P. Henson, Tilda Swinton, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, "Benjamin Button," is a grand tale of a not so ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.
Cast: Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Julia Ormond, Ed Metzger, Taraji P. Henson
Director: David Fincher
Recommendations: This is one of the most beautiful stories that I have seen in a while and the movie has stayed with me ever since I saw it at the movies. I think it's definitely worth buying, if only to be able to watch Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett's amazing performances over and over again.
