In the London Times, screenwriter Eric Roth discusses &#34;The curious case of the making of Benjamin Button&#34; with Kevin Maher:
&#34;&#8217;In 1922 F.Scott Fitzgerald had a baby girl,&#8217; continues the 63-year-old  Oscar-winner Roth (Forrest Gump). &#8216;And when she was three months old he  wrote a short story, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.&#8217; The tale, about a  man who was born at 70 and slowly aged backwards towards infancy, reflected  Fitzgerald&#8217;s newly altered views on mortality, Roth says, adding: &#8216;But it  was very broad and whimsical.&#8217; However, the basic idea would eventually  evolve into the story of an 86-year-old man, Benjamin ([Brad] Pitt), who is born as  a wizened homunculus [...]]]></description>

MUNICH Review: Part I
On the positive side, for the first time since Bruce feasted along the New England coast Spielberg has made a film in which the strings are only sporadically visible. The fact that he had to rush through production in order to have Munich ready by year&#8217;s end &#8212; this is reportedly the first film he has directed without relying on storyboards &#8212; helped to give this philosophical actioner an edge it might otherwise have lacked. The film&#8217;s technical aspects are generally first-rate, while John Williams provides what could well be both the most understated and the most effective score of his career. 
And since the film in question is a thriller, Spielberg and editor Michael Kahn keep [...]]]></description>

Eric Bana, Daniel Craig, Ciaran Hinds, Hanns Zischler, Mathieu Kassovitz in Munich
&#160;

Alternately intriguing and irritating, thought-provoking and banal, subtle and patronizing, the biggest surprise about Steven Spielberg&#8217;s Munich is that it &#8212; however grudgingly &#8212; works. The film, which Spielberg himself has referred to as &#34;prayer for peace,&#34; follows five men contracted by Israel to avenge the massacre of that country&#8217;s athletes during the 1972 Olympic Games in [...]]]></description>

&#34;It&#8217;s old news. &#8230; We&#8217;ll be ok,&#34; says Don Hewitt (Philip Baker Hall), the creator of the CBS newsmagazine 60 Minutes. &#34;These things have a half-life of 15 minutes.&#34; 
&#34;No, that&#8217;s fame,&#34; replies 60 Minutes anchor Mike Wallace (Christopher Plummer). &#34;Fame has a 15-minute half-life. Infamy lasts a little longer.&#34; 
The infamous &#34;things&#34; referred to by Hewitt and Wallace are the scandals that erupted in early 1996, when it was revealed that CBS News had refused to air an interview [...]]]></description>
