I haven't watched it yet. Why is it good, shNz - and why is it bad, Ggs and kafds?

The same story I saw somewhere before.. dunno, slow-paced action, unknown actors + thats half-documental film(based on true story).. I just yawned too much and turn off.

Maybe just matter of taste?! :P

Actually it's a really great production, I was surprised to be honest. Very good job by David Fincher! The story is amazingly interesting and real. The acting is gorgeous, thats why Jesse Eisenberg was nominated for an Oscar (unfortunately he didn't win). The movie itself had 8 nominations and won 3 of them, which in my opinion makes it must-see movie for everyone.

I completely agree with Dragon's statement about the reason of the movie's success. This movie was horrible, but as the subject hovers around such a popular "fashion" thing (= Facebook), the audience "loved it". Imagine if you were collecting Pokémon games, and some hugely promoted new Pokémon game based on the previous version gets published, the fans will absolutely buy it and play it thinking it's a great product.

Saw a few in the last couple of days. All were old actually, thought to write something :D, so here u go:
No particular genre, just random picking.

------------

8 MM (1999)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134273/

imdb 6.3
mine 7

(imdb was boozed up prolly when reviewing this, i have no f**g idea why the hell they banged on this one, this gets prety interesting at some parts, you just can't let it go. one word. don't leave this.)

------------


The Illusionist (2006)

In turn-of-the-century Vienna, a magician uses his abilities to secure the love of a woman far above his social standing.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443543/

imdb 7.7
mine 6.5

(not bad, prolly u too were expecting this twist of the plot, but how they did it was just that thing to find out. can watch if u r a edward norton fan, he was pretty impressive in this. to be honest i had higher expectations, so i must admit i was a rather disappointed)

------------

Sherlock Holmes (2009)

holmes and watson does some crazy s**t - thats it :D

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0988045/

-----------

The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)

A struggling salesman takes custody of his son as he's poised to begin a life-changing professional endeavor.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454921/

imdb 7.8
mine 9

(hands down, this is prolly the best acting of will smith. sometimes when ur down and out, u get that weird lonely worn out desperate feeling, like abt nothing is goin right in ur life, well- this movie pretty much sums up all of those chapters and scenarios and helps you to throw a new light on how you take up life and view it. dont miss it)

------------

Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1220634/

imdb 5.9
mine 4

(typical ra series, nothing special, if u by anychance happen to be a prison break fan, u'll prolly like the entry of wentworth miller. kinda sounds funny how they run with the accepted assumption of "breaking out from prison has become miller's forte now... hahah. impressive soundtracks. wont offer u anything more)

------------

And Soon the Darkness (2010)

When two American girls on a bike trip in a remote part of Argentina split up and one of them goes missing, the other must find her before her worst fears are realized.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1391034/

imdb 5.1
mine 2

(remember that chick from never back down? amber heard. well, she stars in this. Don't get too happy, this movie sucked like hell :D)

------------

The Prestige (2006)

The rivalry between two magicians is exacerbated when one of them performs the ultimate illusion.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482571/

imdb 8.4
mine 8

(this one was a killer. literally. ultimate star cast - christian bale, hugh jackman, michael caine. epic storyline, epic acting, epic twist at the end.
don't even think of missing this!)

Black Dahlia (2006)
IMBD: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387877/

uhm kinda randy and far from the real story, i think they used a roman called black dahlia for this plot. anyways it was still a little entertaining and even exciting at places, and decent athmosphere throughout the whole thing

6/10

Dahmer(2002)
IMBD: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285728/

been interested in damer's person for ages, that's prolly the reason why i was disappointed after this film. there's some rubbish in it and it's kinda strange how they skip between the murders and the whole content, what's in focus of the director. overall that was not worth watching when you already know the case

4.5/10

Black Swan(2010)
IMBD: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0947798/

aronofsky already made 2 movies i totally felt in love with , this one is great aswell. brilliant acting, exciting story, tight athmosphere. i think i just dig alot how he visualizes the main characters inside and his whole style, and i can relate to the characters conflicts alot

9/10

Alice in Wonderland(2010)
IMBD: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1014759/

tim burtons "sequel" to the well known story, rly lovely style with the costumes and colours in general. he's quite a stickler to details with the characters. it still didnt rly get me, you know the story... still good stuff

7/10

Monster(2003)
IMBD: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0340855/

decent movie about a serial killing prostitute, knew her case aswell but not as deep as dahmer's. so - interesting story, quite good actors, didn't get me that much

7/10

The Big Bang
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mz-DmHu3ts

5/10

Bedevilled (2010)

You mean Kevin Spacey?

Not yet, I plan on seeing it tomorrow after school. It's sitting on the table next to time. :P

Got a 2 hour long CSI: Miami "marathon" coming up. :)

The Social Network
Rate: 10/10

This is a masterpiece. I fucking loved it. I loved the actor of Mark Zuckerberg, and his whole character. The most care person I've seen in a movie. He was like "Oh, we hit 1 million members.. Cool." Which I fucking love.

Amazing movie, all I got to say.
