The Social Network

If you don't know, "The Social Network" is a dramatization of the creation Facebook. Jesse Eisenberg ("Zombieland") plays the co-founder Mark Zuckerberg. The story is told in flashbacks while Mark is dealing with two lawsuits against him.

The movie is really good, which is sort of a "duh" statement considering the fact that this is David Fincher ("Fight Club") and Aaron Sorkin ("American President") we're talking about. It's interesting to note that Brenda Song of Disney's "Suite Life" fame is in this film. It's nice to see Disney or Nick actors trying to break their mold. I know a bad performance when I see one, but I don't know an amazing performance when I see one, which basically means all the actors and actresses did a good job. Justin Timberlake is charismatic, Jesse Eisenberg plays Mark as a perfectly flawed human being, and Armie Hammer does a damn good just as the Winklevoss twins.

It's an excellent movie.
