The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (film)

"I was born under unusual circumstances." The story is about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be.

It was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. 'Benjamin Button,' is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time. A life lived backwards can be far more enriching..." and describes the film as "a magical and moving account of a man living his life resoundingly in reverse"

It's a curious story indeed, warm tears, sweet-hearted film, filled with some truly touching stuff about impermanence, love and loss for the fleeting joys of life... very very interesting movie!!!

The music video is a 2nd and official music video in the 1st week of December 2008, directed by Melina. The video premiered exclusively on iTunes on today.

Akon | "Freedom" (Album)

Freedom is the third studio album by singer, Akon. The album was originally named Acquitted, however Akon changed it due to its negative connotation.

Brandy | "Long Distance"(Video)

Brandy was born into a musical family in Mississippi on February 11, 1979. She is one of the most successful of the new breed of urban R&B female vocalists. "Long Distance" is a song from her 5th studio album, "Human" in 2008. The lyrics of the ballad deal with the protagonist's difficulties of a long-distance relationship.

Although a music video for the song was actually expected to be shot by Norwegian director Ray Kay in the week October 20, a clip for "Long Distance" was eventually filmed by Chris "C-Rob" Robinson on November 6 in LA, who wants to depict his vision of taking Brandy "through the feeling of missing the person she's in love with." The music video premiered on Perez Hilton today.
My all time favorite: "Human", "Right Here Departed", "The Definition", "True" and "A Capella Somethings Missing". Check her Official Site and MySpace for more.
