The Wrestler
Part of this year's buzz highlights Mickey Rourke's come back performance and Marisa Tomei's hot, 40 year old, nude body.The former is worth the hubbub - Rourke is truly living this role! The latter is a bit overrated - the poor woman is emaciated in this film. No. Don't go assuming I'm a Mo' Nique that hates "Skinny Bitches"...

Revolutionary Road
April (Kate Winslet), once an aspiring actress and Frank (Leonardo DiCaprio) once an aspiring dreamer, marry and unwittingly fall into the American Dream. We come to understand they thought they'd be able to do it better; you know the whole 2.5 kids, nice home, nice neighbors, homemaking, safe job etc... That somehow the settling down thing would look different on them...

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
As expected, the make-up and CGI are on the mark. Brad Pitt found a believable tone playing a wizened, childlike, young, old man. Then we are treated to the sexy, devoted-to-one-woman, Pitt that defines his off screen life, but so rarely is seen on screen, as he likes to remove all traces of sex appeal playing weird characters like Chad Feldheimer in Burn After Reading.
