PICK OF THE WEEK

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Critics are giving this interesting story pretty good reviews. Director David Fincher and Brad Pitt team up for a third time with this adaptation of a F. Scott Fitzgerald short story. Pitt plays a man who is born 80 years old, but instead of aging, he grows young. Oscar winner Cate Blanchett costars, along with Taraji P. Henson and Tilda Swinton.


A WEAK HORROR FLICK THAT WILL MAKE YOU JUMP

The Unborn
Casey Beldon hated her mother for abandoning her as a child. But when inexplicable events begin to happen, Casey begins to understand why she left. Plagued by merciless dreams and a tortured ghost that haunts her waking hours, she must turn to the only person, Rabbi Sendak, who can make it stop. With the help of Sendak, her best friend Romy and boyfriend Mark, Casey uncovers the source of a family curse dating back to Nazi Germany--a creature with the ability to inhabit anyone or anything that is getting stronger with each possession. With the curse unleashed, her only chance at survival is to shut a doorway from beyond our world that has been pried open by someone who was never born. Critics are saying that this movie lacks a good plot but will make you embarrassed for jumping like a schoolgirl.


A GOOD FLICK IF YOU NEED SOMETHING LIGHT AND LOVE DOGS

Marley and Me
Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston star as a couple who adopts the badly behaved but much-loved dog. Critics say pet owners should love it, but Marley and Me is only sporadically successful in wringing drama and laughs from its scenario.


MY WORST NIGHTMARE

Bride Wars
Please don't take me with you to see this movie. Critics are giving it horrible reviews. This comedy stars Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson as two brides-to-be who become former friends and new rivals when they schedule their weddings on the same day. Somebody shoot me.
