... Benjamin Button What it's about : In 1918, Benjamin Button (the never-better Brad Pitt, above) is born with an old face, dilapidated plumbing and wrinkled skin over an infant body. Then he ages backward. Rated: PG-13 The scoop : Every chapter of Button's story brings a fresh air of discovery. And the movie's emotional completeness leaves you poised between sobbing and applauding - it comes from a full comprehension not just of one man's life, but of the intersection of many lives over the course of the 20th century.

Not Easily Broken, adapted from T.D. Jakes' novel of the same name, dramatizes the need to let God into marriage with a preachy style that operates like call-and-response. It's energizing to hear an audience screech at an adulterous kiss the way horror fans do when a stalker pops up with a knife. The director, Bill Duke, and the screenwriter, Brian Bird, know how to hit fans of Christian fiction where they live. Too bad the moviemakers never take their viewers beyond the banality of reassuring family values.
