I saw the movie "Benjamin Buttons" today with Brad Pitt. It had some AWESOME CASTING, AWESOME MAKEUP, AWESOME STORY LINE, AWESOME ACTING, ETC. Just a note: it does have some nudity, a few cuss words, and just keep in mind that it's adult movie. It was noted by my friend Julie that it was much like Forest Gump and The Notebook, and I agree.
But, most of all, it made you think! Or at least it made me think. In Sunday School, we're reading and studying the book - Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper. I'm only on ch. 5 and 6 right now, but I already want to encourage everyone to at least read those chapters. Reading this book, and seeing this movie about this person's life (fake as it might be) just reminded me that you can't take life for granted. With that, it just encouraged me to stop dragging my feet in some areas of my life. Live life to the fullest doing what God wants you to do. We've got to stop dreaming, wishing, hoping, etc. Pray about it and take a risk. I would encourage you read the book and understand what the good risks are and the bad risks before just taking that leap off the empire state building (cause I'm thinking that's a bad risk).
So, if you're looking for a movie to see - Benjamin Buttons is it!
Some other movies:
Momma Mia! - great story line, AWESOME FUN MUSIC, but they could have cleaned it up a little (language, humor, and the scenes). OH! By the way, it's a MUSICAL = They sing A LOT!
Bride Wars - great story line again, great acting, but again they could have cleaned it up a little (language, anger, and the scenes). They could have directed it better. It's got the girl from Princess Diaries, but it's NO PRINCESS DIARIES. This is an adult film. Do not take school age kids.
