Yesterday's Movie Review

Went to view "The Social Network" movie at Harkins and noticed a few things:

Total viewers for 12:30 showing was one couple, myself and another person

Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake) creator of Napster had shares in Facebook

Twins who sued Facebook actually participated in Beijing Olympics and placed sixth. They also settled for 65 Million Dollars in their suit against Facebook now worth 25 billion dollars.

The actors who played the twins are not real twins. They are Armie Hammer and Josh Pence.

Brilliant performances by Jesse Eisenberg(Mark Zuckerberg) and Andrew Garfield (Eduardo Saverin).

Executive producer is actor Kevin Spacey

The movie takes you from court hearings to the creation of Facebook at Harvard and on to Palo Alto for the ultimate explosion of Facebook network. Very well scripted and breaks out the different interpretations of how it evolved.  Jesse Eisenberg does an exceptional job of playing the boy genius with an attitude Mark Zuckerberg. The friendship between Mark and Eduardo is destroyed due to the creation of Facebook.  This movie will definitely be an Oscar contender for "Best Movie" and a must see.
