A slew of movies came out this month, as a movie nerd, I made the effort of trying to watch as many of them as I can.
Out of the three movies, I enjoyed Gran Torino the most, the story of neighborhood vigilante normally doesn't attract me, but Client Eastwood totally got this directing thing down, and he does have good taste when it comes to scripts. There's a sense of calm and confidence in his delivery, and when it comes to elements that are essential to the story, but not necessarily politically correct, he didn't hold anything back. All in all, a movie I'm glad I watched.
I know, nazi WWII movies have done to death, I also know the Hitler assassination, particularly this one have also done to death. The movie is solid, but I think its the subject matter that took some shine off. Tom Cruise picked the best english actors to be in his ensemble and I enjoyed them acting together.
I had really high hopes for this one. Two of my favorite actress are in this film. The story is a classic, and its one of those stories where I tend to love. I think Brad Pitt in this movie... is a bit too still. He doesn't shed a lot of emotions in his adventure, so it lacks the "Forrest Gump" appeal, I didn't really sympathize or associate with the character. What I LOVED was cinematography. Its a full 3hr scene by scene, shot by shot masterpiece. Just hoped Benjamin Button is warmer.
