The Grand Slam

Over the holidays I saw all of the movies currently playing at Canal Place: Slumdog Millionaire, Milk, Doubt, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. My favorites were Slumdog Millionaire and Milk. Doubt was a little too slow, and although The Curious Case of Benjamin Button wasn't as cheesy as I imagined, I agree with my friend Sara's review that it was overdone. 

An aside: at the beginning of Benjamin Button they mention Evangeline Parish (where my hometown, Ville Platte, is located). Also, the exterior of the train station is, I believe, the outside of the courthouse where I work. And, ironically, at one point in the movie Benjamin takes a voyage to India; thus, my current fascination was satiated a bit more. 

Since I completed the Grand Slam, I suppose it'll be all Zeitgeist for the next couple of weeks until the next batch of movies are released at Canal Place.
