She's Out of My League(2010)

Genre: Comedy

The Movie is for all those people who think they are always average in life. But the Truth what I specifically believe is , everyone is good at something and its upto the person to make him feel better. Kirk is an average guy who works in a International Airport along with his friends. Kirk usually a down to earth guy but very low on self esteem and always considers inferior to his friends and other people around meets a gorgeous looking girl named Molly played by Alice Eve. He Considers her a Hard 10 , in comparision to him who is just a 5. He doesn’t have the thinking of Molly falling for him due to his friends who always judge him by his skiny look and his actions which is not quite manly. Also, his parents who are not supportive enough encourage him and increase his morale in life. Molly on the other hand is just looking for a simple guy to carry on a relationship. This movie is not a great watch , but some of the scenes are very hilarious. It’s a Popcorn flick. You can afford to miss this one if you are not looking for a light comedy flick.

Rating: 2/5- FAIR

The Social Network (2010)

Genre: Drama/ Biography

Directed by David Fincher “The Social Network” is a movie on founders of Current Ranking No.1 Social networking website Facebook. Aaron Sorkin the Writer of the film has adapted this movie from The Accidental Billionaires, a Nonfiction book. Jesse Eisenberg starred as Mark Zuckerberg in the movie is a nerd who has been dumped by his girlfriend, which made him to create Facebook. Zuckerberg found Facebook sitting at his Dorm room in 2004 and today is the youngest billionaire at the age of 26. Zuckerberg was shot to fame not just because of the Social networking site but also by 2 Lawsuit by 2 fellow Harvard University Twin brothers for stealing their idea of Social networking website. Another one coming from his Co-founder & CFO of Facebook Eduardo Saverin for not giving him the fair Share of Credit and share of profits.

The Social Network proves worthy in many aspects when it comes to complete movie, as its solid storyline, screenplay and edge of the seat music which thrills you down as the movie goes on. It has its own pace which grips you at every moment. Saverin played by Andrew Garfield has given a solid performance and also Justin Timberlake as Founder of Napster who befriends Zuckerberg. Jesse portrays flattering yet convincing way to show Zuckerberg as arrogant at times and another moment is nervous and innocent. Though Real Zuckerberg tells this movie is a Fiction. It’s pretty unconvincing at times. The Biggest Irony shown in the movie is the Creator of a Social Networking site Facebook has connected 500 Million people has trouble making one good friend. This film has one of the best one liners I have ever come across. Watch out for the scene when Zuckerberg is in middle of Advocates and his Response to the twin brothers. There are many scenes which will get into your nerves. So probably a Second Watch is quite natural.

Finally, The Social Network is a Compelling story about Trust and Betrayal. David Fincher Direction and Aaron Sorkin Screenplay have made Social Network a Crisp Dramatic Movie which I would recommend everyone to watch. It’s worth every penny. I give 4 out of 5 for THE SOCIAL NETWORK and looking forward to more Fincher and Sorkin Movies.

Rating: 4/5- VERY GOOD.
