The Social Network

David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin touch fingers and strike poses to create a super-Sayan film adaptation of the rise of Facebook, along with the ironic demise of Mark Zuckerberg’s social life.  It’s an odd project for Fincher to direct, but it’s one he conducts with professional ease, though his trademark dark green tinge awkwardly swamps the film. Sorkin butters the script with some truly delicious dialog that the cast delightfully devour.  Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield provide extremely absorbing performances while Justine Timberlake gives an enjoyable performance as a smooth-talking douche bag. Not much of a stretch for him really.

BETTER THAN INCEPTION!!!

Catfish

Catfish poses as a documentary of a blooming Facebook relationship between two people who have never met. After months of wireless communication, Nev sets out to finally meet the girl of his internet dreams. Then, the movie takes a bit of a turn. The big noise surrounding the film is whether it’s real or faked. Those expecting a Blair Witch type movie will feel deceived. However, if you take Catfish as truth, it’s fairly fascinating. Personally, I‘m giving the film the benefit of the doubt. Nothing seems obviously fake. Except Nev’s chest hair. That thing’s hairier than a Scottish lumberjack.
