Doubt
Opens December 12, 2008
Cast: Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams,Viola Davis
Director. Screenwriter: John Patrick Shanley
Genres: Drama
OVERVIEW :
John Patrick Shanley brings his Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning play to the screen as a gripping story about the quest for truth, the forces of change, and the devastating consequences of blind justice in an age defined by moral conviction.
It’s 1964, St. Nicholas in the Bronx. A vibrant, charismatic priest, Father Flynn (Academy Award® winner Philip Seymour Hoffman), is trying to upend the schools’ strict customs, which have long been fiercely guarded by Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Academy Award® winner Meryl Streep), the iron-gloved Principal who believes in the power of fear and discipline. The winds of political change are sweeping through the community, and indeed, the school has just accepted its first black student, Donald Miller. But when Sister James (Academy Award® nominee Amy Adams), a hopeful innocent, shares with Sister Aloysius her guilt-inducing suspicion that Father Flynn is paying too much personal attention to Donald, Sister Aloysius sets off on a personal crusade to unearth the truth and to expunge Flynn from the school. Now, without a shard of proof besides her moral certainty, Sister Aloysius locks into a battle of wills with Father Flynn which threatens to tear apart the community with irrevocable consequence.–© Miramax

WHY WATCH IT : Are you kidding, why wouldn’t you watch this movie?? Philip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep? You can’t get better than that.
It is a film that will at least get 1 Oscar, make my words.
Besides starring Philip and Meryl, the film looks amazingly shot and it has an unique storyline. Its a “guess you did it” film. Its one of those films that you are ROOTING for the character to film the person responsible. They know the person did it, even if they have no proof. When there is no “DOUBT” about it, they just know.
Who would not want to watch this film? I know I do.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Opens December 25, 2008 | Runtime:2 hr. 47 min.
Cast: Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Taraji P. Henson, Julia Ormond, Jason Flemyng
Director: David Fincher
Genres: Romance, Fantasy, Drama
OVERVIEW :
“I was born under unusual circumstances.” And so begins “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man’s life can be. The film tells a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.(source: Fandango)

WHY WATCH IT : It looks like a great movie. Great cast and amazing performances, it appears.
Even though you cannot say that this is an original story (based on book), it is an original film. At least something different to what is on theaters lately.
The reasons why I want to watch it are:
It looks interesting
BRAD PITT (what else can I say)
Love story
An old baby (you have to admit, that’s COOL)
You know that it will get Oscar BUZZ, that’s for sure.
