IMDB tells me he's in Se7en and The Rock as well... I find it funny to discover familiar faces looking back at movies...
It reminds me when I watched Jurassic Park all those years later and saw Samuel L Jackson...

Don't shit your pants!
A text adventure that has a very simple goal but has a surprising amount of things to do... :)
Getting the various awards isn't that straightforward...

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Benjamin Button is almost a genre movie, the said genre being "Pure Hollywood movie". And here I mean this in a good way.
It clearly was crafted by David Fincher as such. The feel, the themes, the scale, sends you back to those classics Hollywood created (like Gone WIth The Wind for example).
It is a Beautiful movie (note the capital "b"), beautifully made, with amazind (and invisible) special effects and with a wonderful cast in top form, lead by 2 of Hollywood's finest actors who form on screen a wonderful, perfect and memorable couple.
Of course all this already spells "O-S-C-A-R" in almost an obscene way, that could put people off...
But here, it's all at the service of a poignant & subtle story (and that's the originality in this genre), so much that you just forget about all this, to just concentrate on what's happening. That's what makes it different for me. That's what made me fell for it...
Life, loss, death are centre here. Time destroys everything. To convey such a message with such honesty, avoiding most of the obvious and easy tricks is amazing...
It is an important movie and the fact that one of my favorite directors of all time (who made Se7en & Fight Club!) made it is an additionnal satisfaction.
Who said the oscar season couldn't bring any joy? :)
