when you do, be sure to check out the special features...alot of history there. it's an amazing story even if they diaries were never released, but it's even more fascinating that they were...

oh rita, i can't say how much i loved about it. it's one of those movies that makes me feel so good about humanity afterwards and so excited about what good storytelling can do. and in this case, it's all so much more compelling that it's a true story. because, truth is always more fascinating than fiction, really. i applaud everyone involved with this movie so very much. really, i'm thrilled by it. i'm so glad you enjoyed it as much as i have, rita!

my movie marathon continued this weekend during some tortures of data entry. i'm sure there are none of you who have not yet seen "the king's speech", but i am one who saw it last. i have to say that i haven't loved a movie this much in years! what a brilliantly acted story about the triumph of the human spirit...friendship...humanity...compassion....and the perfect timing of the universe. i love stories of one person inspiring another to their greatness, and this was that and much more. everything right down to each prop was perfect. every expression was perfect. the casting was perfect. i just adored it!

ok, i'm catching up on some movies that everyone else saw that i didn't get to. i'm working and watching this weekend...and i finally saw "the social network". i have really mixed feelings about it. i know most really liked it. but i thought it had way too much mumbling in it. and way too many sorkin wise lines in it. it could have used more story. by that, i think they had a good approach to a story. but they didn't have a development of characters that you could care about nor do i think they really explored the genius of zuckerberg. they seemed to have made a two dimensional character out of him. and maybe he is. i certainly don't know him. but i would have liked to see where his vulnerabilities were. i also didn't see the motivation in him other than pure power. is that all he's about? that doesn't usually go with geekdom...i dunno, i am left wanting...
