Favorite movie

One of my favorite movies ever is Love&Basketball. I think it's my favorite because the story is so believable and moving. The characters are remember able and the plot of the story is easy to follow. No matter how many times i see this movie it still makes me laugh, get angry and even almost cry and that makes for a great movie. That i know what's coming but it still moves me the way it does. Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps have great chemistry on the screen and you can almost feel the raw passion and emotions that their characters had for each other and the game. The movie came to theaters on April 21 2000 and did fairly good in the box office it's first week. In my book this movie will always be a top rated and one to watch over and over again!!

Brad Pitt as Benjamin Button

The newest movie that Brad Pitt has started in was "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" in which he plays a child born under some unusual circumstances. This move came out December 25, 08 so my discussion on it is late but i think still very interesting. I just recently seen it myself and i must say it was better then i thought it was going to be. Brad Pitt's performance was nothing more than brilliant, i believe and this was a movie that he truly will be remembered for. Even though it did not get the number one spot when it opened it did get second with about 11.1 million in the first week.
