Movies: The Social Network

This movie is the dramatic retelling of Facebook's origins and the lawsuits involved with its development. Now if that sounds really dry and boring, I assure you it's not. Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin manages to find the humor and emotion in a story that, on the surface, would appear to be a bore.

The story is augmented by all-around good acting by the cast. Proving that he isn't merely Michael Cera Mark II, Jesse Eisenberg is perfect as the brilliant, borderline-sociopathic Zuckerberg. Andrew Garfield also gives a stirring performance as Zuckerberg's beleaguered partner.

Possibly one of the best parts of this movie is the excellent soundtrack by Trent Reznor. The electronic, borderline industrial score acts perfectly as an emotional counterweigh and indicator of tension throughout.

See it when it comes out in theaters!
