Okay...on to The Social Network. I am still leaning towards this being my favorite movie of last year. I love David Fincher. He has been one of my favorites for awhile now, Fight Club is one of my all time favorite movies, and I really think he is one of the greats. I was sort of surprised to see that he was directing this, because it doesn't really fit with most of his other movies. I was so excited though, because I think he is brilliant and could bring something special to this. On to Aaron Sorkin...ah, another one of my favorites. The West Wing and Studio 60 were two of my favorite shows, and his movie screenplays were awesome as well. I went into this assuming I was going to come out not liking Mark Zukerberg. That really didn't happen. I don't know how much of this movie is based in fact, and how much is myth or exaggerated. Somehow I decided it almost doesn't matter. This movie could stand alone as a fiction story if it was, and still be a really good movie. Great soundtrack, great performances and an interesting storyline. The invention of Facebook. Perfect.

The Social Network (2010) and My Dog: an Unconditional Love Story (2009)
I decided since this was sort of a cheat again with a repeat viewing....that I would throw in a bonus documentary that barely should count. It was only an hour long. It was called My Dog: an Unconventional Love Story. It was sort of cute, but nothing spectacular. If you don't love dogs...you might not "get" it. If you do love dogs, especially if you are living without right now...parts of it are downright adorable. Its basically several little stories of celebrities and their dogs. My favorite little section was Didi Conn (Grease) and her family. Her son has Autism and really is obsessed with dogs. They have a beautiful sheepdog, one of my favorites! It was a sweet story. I enjoyed watching this and if you have Netflix, its only an hour long....give it a shot.
