You're telling me that Zuckerberg looks like that, and talks like that, yet is somehow socially inept? You want me to buy that facebook could only be created by a computer genius? I'm supposed to believe that successful ideas are instantly recognizable from the start, instead of up to the whims of chance? Sorry, I'm not even close to convinced; particularly not when most of the dialog is overwritten and unnatural. Good soundtrack, acting, and especially editing, but movie of the year? Nah.

All About Eve (1950) - Rated 06 Jun 2010

All three leading female actresses are magnificent - particularly Davis. The script is also masterful - it completely nails both the humor and the drama. A well-told story with highly memorable and synergistic acting performances.

War of the Worlds (2005) - Rated 15 May 2009

Deeply underrated, due to different-than-the-original syndrome, and because the movie-going public has fallen out of love with Spielberg since A.I. The effects are fantastic, and the tension throughout the movie is well-handled. A lot of very good cinematography (the rain of clothing? The airplane crash in the middle of a suburban neighborhood?). If the ending wasn't so awful, it might be Spielberg's best.
