These days, although I would never have predicted it, I think if I had to choose between only watching television programming and only watching films I would have to choose TV. I am swimming in awesome, quality series that are so admirable in their consistency. ER, Justified, V, Lost, Spin City, Frasier, Felicity, Dr. Katz, NUMB3RS, Sons of Anarchy, Flashpoint, Dollhouse, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dexter, Party Down, Alias, Birds of Prey, Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, Life...old or new, I spend so much more time watching the "small screen" these days.
Although I have to say so far Due Date is really good...

The Social Network (2010) -- 3/10
Once again I differ from the majority of the populace. What a dull, uninteresting, flat story. I was curious about the evolution of Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook and what happened, unfortunately what actually did happen it turns out I couldn't care less about. The course of events that make up the film, for me, just are not interesting in the least. The main characters are not likeable or interesting, nor are their motives, their actions, their personalities, or anything. I found it hard to hang onto a film with a main character that was such a relentless dick...I know that's the reality and the film was making no apologies about it, but it was not for me. Truth be told I made it 54 minutes into the film and I just had to turn it off, I couldn't come anywhere within 10 miles of the vicinity of even being close to being interested. There are too many other films and television shows that are calling my name; I tried to give this one a fair full-length shake but life is too short. Kind of a bunch of brats acting like brats and I'm supposed to care? Yes, the result of their strife echoes in the cultural zeitgeist, but I never even gave a damn about the cultural impact of their creation, let alone the ingredients of said creation. I just found this true-life story so boring and even talents like Fincher and Sorkin couldn't inject much life or compelling drama into, in my opinion, a fundamentally unappealing series of events featuring people I just don't care about and a cultural phenomenon I never cared about to begin with. The movie gets 3 points for its look and ambition, but the score was very ill-advised and poorly-spotted, the dialogue was overrated and extremely proud of itself, the acting was horrendously subpar, and the pacing was set at the slowest mark on the dial. Anyway, that's just my opinion. I'd recommend 127 Hours over this inanimate historical footnote anyday!
Just so you know Deputy, this movie is not actually what happened. There are plenty of sites on the net that have the story to the best of actual events. Zuckerberg is known for being a jerk and he really doesn't seem to have a problem with people thinking that, but his so called best friend in the film most certainly was an innocent pawn in the creation of Facebook.

For the upteenth time- ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST.
An American masterpiece.
Everytime I see that movie I want to strangle the Cunt Ratchett.....

Shane (1953) is a timeless, classic western tale - a very familiar and highly regarded seminal western and the most successful Western of the 1950s. The film's rich color cinematography captures the beautiful environment of the legendary frontier, filmed in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, with its gray-blue Grand Tetons as a backdrop
I agree with you ! "Shane" is the best Western film for me. "Shane" will be revival in Japan this year !
Cheers!!!

These glorious hunks are joined by some quite nice women as well! It's hard to choose between Deborah Kerr and Donna Reed but I think Reed wins by a smidgen. The script was tight as to be expected from an adaptation from a novel. The quality of the stream was nice as well. It was much better to watch this great movie than the Oscars
