The Social Network

From the directorial skills of David Fincher who has 'The Fight Club', 'Zodiac' and 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' in his repertoire. This movie doesn't concentrate on how FaceBook originated but delves into relationships of collaboration, trust and the zest to deserve for one's credibility in a cohort.   The Social Network' - technically succulent screenplay by 'Aaron Sorkin', deft direction by 'David Fincher' and an eloquent character resurrection of FaceBook megamind Mark Zuckerberg by 'Jesse Eisenberg'. The background 'industrial' score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross gels in seamlessly with the plot. 
P.S. : I was so immersed in the immaculately shot regatta sequence from the 'The Social Network' that I never noticed the 'POLAROID' advertise on one of the kayak. Nice work Mr. David Fincher !!

As much I was in awe of Coen brothers for The Big Lebowski, I was also perplexed for the ending in 'No Country for Older Men'. True Grit has the right pace and keeps you immersed. Its a hunt for imposing redemption on a sinner. Hailee Steinfeld plays a stubborn brave farm girl who doesn’t flutter an eyelid and rather endeavors into a journey to avenge her fathers death. Jeff Bridges is a tough U.S.Marshal meandering in his own whimsical solitude is catapulted into this hunt by Hailee's adamant coaxing. Matt Damon is a Texas ranger who forays i...

The Tree of Life

Terence Mallick's The Tree of Life is not for the regular cinema goer. Its a montage of artistically shot images: Earth, fire, water and the basic units of life encapsulated in the garb of the unknown 'the universe'. Its abstract. The dailogues are minimal but emoted with elance by the central characters. Palm deOr is for been bold and different - it talks about how god creates, human inherits and does not let go. The God then takes it back and the human is left with remorse. On an average 10 people would leave the theater in the first 15 minutes. Wonder how soon the movie leaves the theatre.
