It's easily the best film that I've seen this year, but that isn't saying much, as I hardly get to the movies. I can't even remember the last movie I saw before I saw Social Network.

Toy Story 3 is a close second for me, and Inception is definitely in third for now, but other than that it has been a pretty poor year for film.

[The Gopher]

Oh yeah, I saw Inception. That was the last movie I saw before this one. It was good, but it was the type of movie that I could only ever watch once, which means it will be long forgotten in a few years from now.

Going by what I've heard about the film's fierce inaccuracy in portraying the founder, I don't think waiting a few years would have provided you with an any more insightful movie. They could have ended it with dragons and vampires for all it matters.

[The Gopher]

The film is inaccurate?

That's a shame. I really liked the way they portrayed the founder. Made him seem witty and cool.

Here's an article about it if you're interested:

I wanted to check this out, but in passing. It takes a lot to make me actually go out and see a movie. The last move I saw was Inception, which I loved very much.

The movie would have been impossible to get right. First of all, the main theme of the film is the two court cases. There are two against Zuckerberg, and none of the three parties agree at all with what happened. No matter how hard Sorkin tried he could not have got it right, because none of the three people suing each other agree on what transpired. Not to mention Parker, who is a renowned douchebag and probably has his own story to spout when asked.

Second of all, I don't agree with the article that the movie made it seem like Zuckerberg only made Facebook to get his girl back. Numerous times through out the movie Mark says he wants to do something bigger than anybody else ever has, and that's why he didn't build the Harvard connection site the twins wanted him to build and decided to expand on their idea to make Facebook.

And honestly, all the people in that BBC article are either friends of Zuckerberg, or people who worked for or with Zuckerberg. I bet those people would like to remain friends with him, and work with/for him again in the future so of course they would side with him and say the movie portrayed him unfairly. The quote from Sorkin at the end is kind of alarming, but he doesn't admit to running away with the script and making it his own, he just says he wasn't that interested in the topic which is shocking because he made it compelling. 

I think Sorkin did the best job he could have. It wasn't a documentary; it needed some added drama.

I watched a movie on DVD today called Inside Man. It's about a well planned bank robbery/hostage situation, which Denzel Washington has to diffuse. Jodie Foster's in it too, though in the end her seemingly interesting character proves disappointingly inconsequential to the plot. It's pretty good though. Not a must-see but a fair way to spend a couple hours.

Scott Prilgrim. I read the comic and like the comic but I hate Micheal Cera so I didn't enjoy this movie.

Last night I watched I Love You Phillip Morris. I'm an idiot and did not know that it was based on the real life prison escapes of Steven Russell, so I kept thinking, "Wow this is unrealistic." It was decently funny, and much more enjoyable now that I know it's fairly accurate.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

Again.

Great film.

And felt appropriate after today's weather and travel conditions.

Last Action Hero.

I'd seen it once before, many years ago, so had forgotten all but the basic premise of "Arnie's character is informed by a real-life kid that he's fictional, but has to save the day anyway." There's actually some pretty wry humor in places and it kept us entertained as a full-stomached family on Christmas Eve.

The last movie I saw was the Expendables. I actually expected it to be more "manly" and less cheesey jokes by Dolph Lundgren.

A Single Man

Really awesome. Colin Firth is probably one of my favourite actors now. I saw him win the Oscar for this and kinda thought "really...the guy from Love, Actually? I mean as much as I love that film...really?" But totally deserved.
