the curious case of benjamin button

no it's not quite as inane as Forrest Gump. it has an interesting premise and while the film deviates frequently from its internal logic, it does keep you wanting to find out what will happen when Benjamin reverts to infancy. he seems to have only four different ages during the film - maybe that's all the make-up they could afford. as for Cate Blanchett's whimsical dancer leading lady, she didn't do anything for me. Tilda Swinton was much better. and the flashback/katrina conceit made me nauseous. but there's enough there to keep you awake for the almost three hours.
