Spanning from WWI to the 21st century, Eric Roth’s screenplay (based loosely on a 1922 short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald) tells the unique story of a man named Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt). He is born in New Orleans as a very old baby, the equivalent of a man in his 80s, who then ages backward into youth over the better part of a century. The film is told in flashback by a very old, dying woman Daisy (Cate Blanchett), who recounts her tale to her daughter (Julia Ormond) from a hospital bed during Hurricane Katrina. Left on the doorstep of a retirement home one night by his father (Jason Flemyng), Benjamin is brought up by Queenie (Taraji P. Henson), who runs the place. While there he meets a young girl, Daisy, who will become a key figure — romantically and otherwise — in his life. Ben does have some grand adventures: He goes to work on a boat, sees sea battles during WWII, finds love with an older married woman (Tilda Swinton) — and gets progressively younger as the decades fly by. It all manages to be alternately haunting, romantic, funny, epic, emotional and incredibly moving and will likely to stay with you a lifetime.

Brad Pitt manages to deliver a thoughtful and subtle performance through all the special effects makeup and CGI. A fresher Brad Pitt minus his bunch of family who are always with him wherever he goes.

In the magnificent desolation that is Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler, a huddle of professional grapplers, 20 years past their 1980s prime, sit behind tables at a sparsely attended fan event. They hope to make rent money by selling Polaroids, autographs and videos attesting to their faded glory. But one man in their midst, Randy “The Ram” Robinson (Mickey Rourke) can still muster a wry smile. He was not losing his confidence. Maybe it’s because Randy wears a hearing aid, but he doesn’t seem to get it when people whisper of him as a “loser” and “has-been.” When the “gate” is low after a fight, Randy is forced to sleep in his van because he can’t afford his rent. Scripter Robert Siegel pulls no punches.Randy’s brutal passion has cost him his marriage, estranged him from his daughter Stephanie (Evan Rachel Wood) and taken a toll on his health. He still pumps his body full of steroids, but now he’s also addicted to painkillers for a chronic back problem. His heart tells him that he’s living on borrowed time. Cassidy (Marisa Tomei) was the partner of Randy in the story. But then neither she nor Randy has ever really been part of the real world.
This movie was really great for those people who want adventurous shows and athlete movies. You shouldn’t miss to watch it!
