The Social Network Preview!

admin — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 18:31:19 +0000

Almost everyone on the planet uses facebook (500,000 people is everyone on the planet, right? Meh, close enough). Now there’s a movie about the founding of Facebook coming out called The Social Network, and while this movie is getting a massive amount of hype, I can’t help but wonder whether or not this is a “too soon” movie. But hey, it’s directed by David Fincher, so if the guy who directed Seven and Zodiac thinks it’s a worthy topic, then maybe there is something to it. The founder of facebook (or co-founder, whatever you want to call him) has gone on the record saying he won’t see the movie since it obviously paints him in a bad light, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s been spotted at private screenings for it. Who knows how this will turn out, but the early reviews are definitely intriguing.

If you want to see the movie, then make sure you actually have a seat and get your tickets here! Buy advance tickets to The Social Network.

Heavy Rain To Become a Movie

When Quantic Dream came out with Heavy Rain earlier this year, I was blown away by the way that choices were presented to the player, along with the beautiful graphics and thoroughly engaging plot. Well, it’s been recently announced that New Line Cinema, the same folks who brought us the original Elm Street series and Se7en are working with Quantic Dream to develop a movie based on the game. While I’m not sure how they would pull off the film in terms of scripting it, I think with the right writer and director, the film could knock it out of the park. But they definitely need to keep the cast that was present in the game.

If you haven’t played the game and want to pick it up, you can do so here.

But, if you don’t really wish to buy it, you can rent it here! Seriously, who doesn’t love a free trial?

The Town Preview

Ben Affleck is one of those actors that, at least for me, has always been a “take him or leave him”. What I mean by that is I’ve never felt one way or another about him. He’s done some phenomenal stuff (Good Will Hunting, anyone?) and he’s done some horrible stuff (Surviving Christmas, anyone? …anyone at all? That’s what I thought). But the fact remains that Affleck’s had a bit of a slump since 2004, but in 2007 he proved that he was still a phenomenal talent behind the camera when he directed Gone Baby Gone. Now he’s back in front of the camera with his new crime film The Town, and he’s directing himself as well. While reviews are already in saying that this is Affleck’s big comeback as an actor (after having done a few small roles to build back steam), I say that The Town is his flagship film that announces him as a director to be taken seriously and to not just be written off as an actor who occasionally directs. The Town could very well be Affleck’s big step towards being the next Clint Eastwood (as a director).

Here’s the trailer:

Ferrell to go serious again?

I was amazed when I saw the 2006 film Stranger Than Fiction. Not only was it funny, and not only did it have an amusing story, but it featured something I never thought I would see in a movie. Will Ferrell. ACTING. Not only that, but acting well! For the first time ever I actually cared about a character Will Ferrell played. And now the rumor has it that Ferrell will be giving this type of acting another shot in his upcoming film Everything Must Go. It has a simple enough story. A man is thrown out by his wife, along with all of his possessions, and he must now sell them all in a yard sale in order to get somewhere. While this could also take the usual slapstick approach for Ferrell, many think that this story could yield a more straight faced approach. This could very well be the thing that Ferrell’s career needs, after some of his recent movies, such as Semi-Pro and Land of the Lost, did not fare very well at the box office. If his acting ability in Stranger Than Fiction is any indication, then we could see some good things come about.

If you haven’t seen Stranger Than Fiction, but would like to see real proof that Ferrell can act, then pick it up here! Remember, it’s everyone who buys from here that keeps this site going!
