Just saw The Curious Case of Benjamen Button, one of the few flicks I've seen in the theater lately. Surprisingly good. Sort of like Forrest Gump with a supernatural twist. Definitely a departure for David Fincher.

Now that I have a daughter, I see that movie as a real horror movie. And way too realistic.

I put recommend because I think it's worth seeing at least once. I saw it at a drive-in a few years back. I was glad to see it finally--I remember the commercials on the radio when I was a kid, "It's only a movie". It wasn't what I expected, but it was interesting, a solid exploitation fil...

Now I've definitely seen it all. Oy.

Ah, the new horror wing of the Smithsonian.

In theaters: King Kong (2005). Another great movie. I'm starting to like it more than the original, and that's really saying something from me. Wow. You're the first person I've heard say that.

I thought it was okay, but didn't really grab me. Of course that was in the theater, and I haven't seen it since. I'll probably give it another try at some point.
