first off, The Social Network was really good. dark, but good. of course, i would love to know where the hollywood writers picked up after the trail went cold from mark zuckerberg, but fascinating nonetheless. and if i learned anything it is that harvard as an undergrad would suck and i would likely never feel like i was cool enough, rich enough, or smart enough.
and who knew that sean parker of napster fame was still a part owner of facebook? or that they dropped the 'the'? or that it all began because there actually was something called the facebook at harvard?
one of my bros got Salt for christmas so we piled on to the couch on jesus' birthday and watched the worst version of angelina jolie doing an action film ever. the stunts were way too far fetched to be believable and what could have been an engaging story line (russian sleeper spy emerges to save america and the world) was thin, flat, and had too many loose ends. give it a miss.
The Kids Are All Right has some oscar buzz and a golden globe nomination and it is worth it. a film that makes being gay normal and not glamorous is refreshing. the story is a bit slow and heavy on dialogue, but that is my kind of entertainment. julianna moore and annette bening are unsurprisingly awesome and mark ruffalo is a delight. i am curious to know what next for the family after they go through an affair that shakes their entire foundation. but, like the title suggests, i'm sure the kids will be all right.
i haven't seen many movies this past year, but have started myself an excel spreadsheet to list the titles i want to see. and hopefully while i have some extra time during my mini staycation. interested in what is on my list?
