Aramond White struck again. This time he's the lone (so far) negative review on The Social Network.

So, Black Swan...
In a word: captivating. In two: Utterly compelling. If there is a weak spot people will point to it is the ending (though I don't see it that way). People will say it's predicable. To that, I must admit it is. But predictability isn't always a bad thing, especially when the film is so unpredictable in the course it takes. Swan's make up and effects should snatch an Oscar nomination. Cinematography might as well. In fact, the fall season will have to showcase some top notch directing to eclipse what Aronofsky did here. I never thought I'd watch ballet - or a move about it. But, my, oh my, was it thrilling.

"Get Him to the Greek" surprised me a bit. I liked it. Russel Brand seems like a douche... I think I like Aldous Snow (The character he plays who's supposed to be a douche) more than I like him.
Or maybe it's just his stand-up routine that I find obnoxious. In any case... not a bad movie. |

Perhaps if I hadn't read the book and been utterly blown away by Black Swan, I would have found Social Network better than it was.
It was, undoubtedly, a Sorkin script. In my estimation, that's a fantastic thing. It was, undoubtedly, a Fincher film. In my estimation, it was a good thing but not a fantastic thing. That is, directorially (yeah, I coined it), it has nothing new to offer. It's shot fantastically and even expertly. But it lacks any flair. You can tell Fincher did it. And when put after Black Swan, it shows Fincher has a limited range - at least to me. Yeah, you'll balk and drop Seven, but really, since then has he shown any range? In fact, if you were to drop this movie into the 70s era, you'd have almost a carbon copy of Zodiac. But anyway, if you haven't read the book, go see it. If you have, go see it come to life. To me, though, it isn't as award worthy as a film. It is, however, like the critics say: a movie that sums up a generation.

What did you think of the rowing scene with the In the Hall of the Mountain King track?

I just sent back Flight Of The Navigator.
Timeless entertainment. Watched it 3 times in 2 days (with the kids). Plus Sarah Jessica Parker makes an ugly cameo. |
