Benjamin Button, Marley Duke It Out On Screen

'Tis the weekend to go to the movies.

By all accounts, this is THE movie weekend of the year - an orgy of big-budget, high-profile releases explode on screen for your viewing pleasure.

Brad Pitt plays Ben, a strange man who lives life in reverse - going from old to young - in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Set in New Orleans, the story spans decades, from the end of World War I to the 21st century.

Taking a shorter view of things, Jennifer Aniston stars alongside Owen Wilson and a Yellow Lab in Marley & Me. The problematic pooch teaches its newlywed owners some new tricks. Maybe Brad and Jen should have gotten a dog?

Adam Sandler dreams up all kinds of fantastic happenings in Bedtime Stories. Make-believe becomes reality when the stories start to come to life. Scarlett Johannson and Samuel L. Jackson deal with some fantastic action of their own in the slick comic book flick The Spirit.

Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio hope to avoid the trappings of mid-century, middle class suburbia in Revolutionary Road. Tom Cruise hopes to take down Hitler before the end of World War II in Valkyrie.
