Hello Everyone,  

Rarely do I participate in spreading the word about feature film releases but I must admit that “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”, a movie scheduled to debut on December 25, 2008, has definitely grabbed my attention. 

First some background:

As described in Wikipedia:

“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” is a 1922 short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It has been adapted for a 2008 film of the same name directed by David Fincher.

The story begins in 1860, just before the beginning of the American Civil War, with the birth of the protagonist, Benjamin Button.  Benjamin Button is born with the physical appearance of a seventy-year-old man, and when his father first visits him mere hours after his birth he is already able to speak. To avoid embarrassment, Benjamin’s father forces him to shave his beard and dye his hair in order to look younger.  As time passes, Benjamin gets younger and younger.
