The Social Network

This movie was critically acclaimed. From an outsiders perspective, it didn't seem to fit with the Oscar type of movie, but that's what you get when you expand the category to ten movies. Pity vote! But seriously, this movie was actually really good. I was entertained the entire time. Not only was I not bored at any point in the movie, I was left wanting more of the story when it finished. I'm not sure if it's because Facebook has become a part of every day life, but it was just interesting. Jesse Eisenberg was just what you pictured: a Harvard drop out future billionaire.... a nerdy but somewhat cocky geek. He programs for fun. He just wants to be the next big thing (he still is). Other comments: I had no clue who Eduardo was despite him co-founding Facebook. Yea, the movie explains this. Also, JT plays Napster founding cool guy, Sean Parker. Heard some real life stories about him, and his acting sure fit the bill. He's better at dancing though. 'Nuff ramblin'. Watch the movie, yo.
