The Social Network ****


Director: David Fincher
Year: 2010
Book by: Ben Mezrich
Adapted by: Aaron Sorkin
Cinematographer: Jeff Cronenweth

If Aaron Sorkin doesn't win best screenplay, I'll be shocked. The dialogue was so much fun, the way the story was woven did so much more than avoid being boring, it was completely engrossing. It was fascinating. I liked Jesse Eisenberg a lot in this, but was really blown away by supporting actors Andrew Garfield and Armie Hammer. Andrew Garfield would get my best supporting actor this year. As always, Fincher's moods and glossy cinematography were beautiful. Great use of music.

  1. Oh, and Baylor gets a name drop... I was in my freshman year at Baylor when Facebook arrived... we all got addicted. It's cool to see this interpretation of events going on behind the scenes.
