We saw:

1. Benjamin Button - a very good movie for lots of reasons, good special effects!! and story line. Up to the standards you would expect for an actor like Brad Pit. However, do have some issues with the moral standards of the story line.

2. Twilight - a disappointment. The author wrote the screen play and they should have had a real screen writer do it. Also, it was obviously produced on a very low budget. It had potential, but the studio just did not have what it takes to make a quality production. The story line was pretty close to the book though condensed as it had to be for the time constraints, and the ending was different than the book.

3. Seven Pounds - Very good quality movie, up to the standards you would expect from Will Smith. However, without spoiling it for others, IMO, it glorified something that should not be glorified. We left concerned that others may emulate the Will Smith character.

We wanted to see Valkyrie, but by the time we got to the the ticket office (long lines on Christmas Day), there were only 20 seats left and we were a group of 5 and would have been sitting on one of the front two rows, so opted for Benjamin Button instead.
