by Shen Shi'an, The Buddhist Channel, Feb 6, 2009 Dharma-Inspired Movie Review: www.benjaminbutton.comSingapore -- 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' is based on a 'simple' premise. How would one (Benjamin) who lives life backwards (born old and dies young) experience it? Ben is not a hero; and not even an anti-hero – he is really the everyman who lived life with an extraordinary condition.

Not really, as the vampires in the movie 'Twilight', like others, can die too - especially when slayed by other equally powerful vampires.What literally sucks about being a vampire is that you need blood
