The Social Network

Drew's Thoughts:
Like Easy A, I was pretty darn skeptical of The Social Network. I mean, Facebook? Justin Timberlake? How the hell is Fincher gonna pull this one off? Answer: he's working with a solid screenplay by Aaron Sorkin, an oddly fascinating story of something trivial turned into one the most popular cultural phenomenons ever, unusually good performances from young actors and the secret to it all Dolphin winning editors Kirk Baxter and Angus Wall moving the story along at a rapid fire pace. A lot of people talk about the screenplay being the star of the show here but I really think it's how David Fincher (Dolphin winner as well) approached the material that makes it special. No one would have guessed that a movie about the invention of Facebook would be the most energetic film of year, but it is, thanks to Finch. I have yet to meet a single person who has not liked this movie which is quite a feat indeed.
Write it on your wall, put it on your newsfeed or whatever you have to, just don't forget about it when you're filling out your Dolphin ballot.
