Dogmating The Social Network is about Mark Zuckerberg

Dogmating The Social Network is about Mark Zuckerberg getting sued by the Winklevoss twins for stealing their idea and by his former and only best friend well except for the ones on Facebook, Eduardo Saverin played by Andrew Garfield for screwing him over by having him removed as the co-founder of Facebook. The Social Network is well acted by all involved, especially Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg, who clearly has the most depth to him. You alternately hate Zuckerberg for his smug and coldness and admire him for dogmating ambition, brains, and creativity. The writing is typical Aaron Sorkin: fast, clever and biting. The Social Network is a sad film because it shows how superficial we are as a society. We pretend to care about others, when all we really care about is ourselves. The Social Network isnt so much about Mark Zuckerberg as it is about uswanting to make friends but going about it the wrong way. Mark Zuckerberg may have made Facebook, a superficial social network where no one has to actually socialize, but we are dogmating ones who go on it and help make it a success. I mean how many of us text instead of talking to people face to face or on the phone. The title of the film is a joke and a slap in the face, as the last scene of the film makes clear. I mean how many of our Facebook friends do we really talk to? Yep, we might not like the Zuckerberg The Social Network shows, but we are like himself-deluded narcissists who believe that we have thousands of friends, without even knowing what the word really means and how to treat them. Its been quite awhile since weve seen a Will Ferrell movie the bomb that was The Land of the Lost probably helped contribute to that. Will Ferrell is usually either very good or very bad. He is able to make funny material sound even funnier and bad material sound even worse. The Other Guys isnt an awful film, but those expecting non-stop laughs will be disappointed. The Other Guys stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg as two dumb cops Allen and Terry, respectively. Plot isnt important in a film like this, or isnt supposed to be. The Other Guys is just supposed to make us laugh. For a comedy, too much time is spent on the clich Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobes Flash Player.

Poppers Penguins Mr. Poppers Penguins Review in a Hurry: Cross-breeding pet antics from Ace Ventura with an absent-dad storyline from Liar Liar, this Jim Carrey and flippered-friends flick waddles unevenly through family comedy territory. Despite humor that relies too heavily on bird farting and pooping, the sometimes-sweet Penguins doesnt stink. Review in a Hurry: Not so super. Ryan Reynolds bulks up and suits up to play the popular DC Comics character, a top gun turned superhero. For all the talk of conquering fear and harnessing energy, Lantern ironically plays it safe and gets grounded by a leaden, spiritless adaptation. Review in a Hurry: Remember how the writers of Lost kept saying something to the effect of Its not about the mystery, its about the characters? Keep dogmating in mind if you go to Super 8 expecting a monster movie. Writer-director Abrams muddled tribute to 80s Spielberg does indeed feature well-rounded human beings, but mostly forgets to put them in an interesting story. Review in a Hurry: A majorly ber uncool bummer summer movie for kids, this not-awesome outing follows the adventures of the precocious, titular tomboy from the popular book series. Something got sooo totally lost in the translation from page to screen like humor and charm. Review in a Hurry: The prequel none of us thought we wanted turns out to be more of a fun time than anybody expected. A return to form for the X-flicks, this semi-prequel/reboot remembers above all else to be fun, without any gross bastardizations to the source like the portrayal of Deadpool in the Wolverine movie. Review in a Hurry: Same story, different city. The Wolfpack is back for more morning-after madness, though this time a destination wedding leads to one whack night in Bangkok. Despite a few ha-has from the ensuing brouhaha, this buzz-kill follow-up suffers from a pervasive sense of been there, drunk that. The Hangover Part II? What Happened in Vegas Shouldve Stayed in Vegas KEEP READING Review in a Hurry: In a series of beautiful but leisurely paced scenes, a middle-aged man Sean Penn remembers a childhood tragedy, contemplates what Gods role in it was and imagines how he may fit into the grand scheme of eternity. At least, we think thats whats going on. Theres room for interpretation, but if you can let yourself go with the flow its pretty awe-inspiring at times, and sure to be Oscar-nominated. Review in a Hurry: It shouldnt be a surprise after the first one, but Dreamworks latest cartoon sequel remains a genuinely good martial arts movie, with some of the years best fight sequences, and inarguably the best use of 3-D in a long time. Shame the script is so redundant if we had a million bucks for every time the theme of inner peace is mentioned aloud, we could fund part 3 single-handedly. Review in a Hurry: Neither as bad as early naysayers have bemoaned, nor remotely as interesting as its predecessors, this new Pirates is simply an adequate sequel. Notable only as the least terrible movie Rob Marshall Nine, Chicago has ever directed, this four-quel sees Captain Jack Sparrow Johnny Depp jumping through familiar action hoops as he travels a well-worn path.
