Films about recent “history” are tricky. Films like ‘United 93,’ ‘W,’ etc. are met with questions like, why? or statements like, “too soon.” There were all concerns in my mind when I first heard about this Fincher/Sorkin project. So many questions. Why a movie about Facebook? Why a movie about Mark Zuckerberg? When the trailer …
It’s amazing how much the style of trailers have changed since the early days of motion pictures. Even looking at trailers from the 80s, things have a completely different look and feel.

Sam Fuller once said that a movie has …
‘She’s Out of My League’ directed by Jim Field Smith and starring Jay Baruchel in his first major feature film role is a so-so romantic comedy that is fun but ultimately forgettable. The film tells the story of Kirk, a lowly TSA employee, dorky, nerdy, one of those guys that has been abused all his …

Scott Pilgrim vs the World was probably my favorite movie of the summer. There I said it. To not see Scott Pilgrim would be to rob you of something special, a fun, entertaining, exciting, excellent film that is the epitome of a summer movie. The project itself was a perfect storm for a movie. The …
Just saw this over at Gizmodo, Chat Roulette, the infamous video chat website has been used for an enormous amount of pranks. The latest is extremely clever.
