THE SOCIAL NETWORK(2010)

I finally got around to watching this highly acclaimed movie and it didn't disappoint. This movie will be nominated for best picture and rightfully so. This could've been a long a boring narrative about the creation of what is "Facebook", but David Fincher directs this movie with perfect story telling skills. Fincher cuts all the extra fat off and tells a very compelling story with the perfect pacing. The editing is right up there with "Inception". The story cuts back and forth from past to present with incredible precision. The acting was top notch as well. Even the dude from N'Sync(J.T. or also know as Justin Timberlake) showed some acting chops. An intriguing story that should be seen for yourself.

The movie tells how "Facebook" was created in a Harvard dorm rooms and the law suits that surrounded the billion dollar company.

It's no secret that I'm highly recommending this movie to everyone. Time will tell if it can stand up to "Inception" for the biggest award of all. I'm not talking about "The Oscars" either.

KICK-ASS(2010)

Another movie based on a graphic novel written by Mark Millar. I really liked his first adaptation. "Wanted" was a fun action movie with a little humor and some cool action scenes. "Kick-Ass" surprised the hell out of me. Very fun and entertaining. A little blood and some really funny lines by Hit girl. She steals the show. I really enjoyed the story and the graphic violence that they used. You get immersed into a graphic novel.

Nic Cage does a good Adam West imitation and the movie pays homage to comic book movies very well.

A comic book geek thinks it would be cool if someone actually was a hero, so he takes it upon himself to become one. Along the way he meets some other vigilantes that gets him entangled into the organized crime world. The movie leaves us wanting a sequel with a great homage to one of the best lines from a movie based on a comic book.

I'd highly recommend this movie to everyone! A little bloody and some choice words for kids, but entertaining as hell. Go see this movie, so the sequel will get made.

WALL E

This film is very beautifully done and looks magnificent! It's Pixar at it's artistic best! That's saying a lot. I've always been a huge fan of Pixar films. They have great stories and they are for both kids and adults. The imagination never ends and they always pull it off with such grace.

Wall E is no different, except this is a new take for Pixar. The main characters don't talk and it's more of a love story? The funny thing is, Pixar actually pulls it off with little to no dialouge. The first half hour or so it', just getting to meet the new character and finding out the backstory with out much talking. The humor is there, but not like most Pixar films. It's quite odd, but also intriguing. When Wall E finally does interact with humans and the story hits mach speed that's when the artistic side goes and becomes more of the summer adventure most expect. Ironically this is the weakest part of the film, but it still works and the heart behind Wall E is pure Disney.

Not the most entertaining as a summer Pixar film or the best Pixar film to date, but a new and exciting version of what's to come from Pixar? I hope so. They just keep inventing new ways to tell old stories. I'd go see this film for sure. It's one of the best films of the year.
