Just Watched: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Matt and I haven't been to a movie in a long time, so after City Walk #2, we visited a newly located theater.

This movie made me cry. I cry at movies at home on a fairly regular basis, but I always try really hard not to cry in the theater. I couldn't help myself. The movie was beautiful, moving, sad, and amazing, all at the same time. It seems such a silly premise, someone aging backwards, but the implications of the story can make you think about your own life, aging forwards and maybe not so gracefully.

I might even say it was worth the $11 ticket, but generally there's nothing in this movie that would be lost on a small screen.
