This is a list of some of the movies I am really looking forward to:
What Doesn't Kill You
Early buzz on this is phenomenal, it was reviewed as the best at the Toronto film festival and said to follow the growing list of great crime dramas set in Boston. It features two excellent and underrated actors, Mark Ruffalo and Ethan Hawke and if you aren't as familiar with Ruffalo as you are with Hawke, I highly suggest seeing some of his movies. He is one of the best in his generation and he doesn't get enough credit. This movie is being distributed by a small Indie company which is why you probably haven't heard much about it.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
This is going to be a major player in Oscar discussions as early indications have Brad Pitt a virtual lock for a nomination in a more low key performance that one critic mentioned is "All in the eyes". This could end up being the best movie of them all come Academy Awards time.

Revolutionary Road
This is not the best trailer that I have ever seen, as it is only a glimpse into the movie but if you are familiar with Sam Mendes (American Beauty) then you know it won't just be your typical suburban family love story. Critics are saying that Leo is definitely going to be up for another oscar nod (no surprise there).

What Doesn't Kill You
Based on events from director Brian Goodman’s life, WHAT DOESN’T KILL YOU, stars Mark Ruffalo (Brian) and Ethan Hawke (Paulie), as friends who grew up like brothers on the gritty streets of south Boston. They do whatever it takes to survive, living by the code of their dog-eat-dog neighborhood. Petty crimes and misdemeanors grow into more serious offenses and eventually, they fall under sway to organized crime boss Pat Kelly (played by Goodman).

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
"I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins Benjamin Button, adapted from the classic 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards. A man, like any of us, unable to stop time. We follow his story set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the twenty-first century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be. Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett with Tilda Swinton, Taraji P. Henson, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, Benjamin Button, is a time traveler's tale of the people and places he bumps into along the way, the loves he loses and finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.

Revolutionary Road
A young couple living in a Connecticut suburb during the mid-1950s struggle to come to terms with their personal problems while trying to raise their two children. Based on a novel by Richard Yates.
