"The Social Network" by Yojimbo

Covering the rise of Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook and the resulting lawsuits, The Social Network is kind of like a Boogie Nights for dorks, showing how the phenomenon of "social networking" conquered the globe and made billionaires out of the young dotcommers involved. The cast are uniformly excellent, showing a warts and all account of the people involved; there are no "heroes" here, just a bunch of kids who had an intellect that made them capable of changing the world yet ironically was a massive handicap when it came to making normal human connections.

Bear that in mind when I tell you that The Social Network outshines all of them. This thinking may come heavily opposed but the fact is that you're not likely to see another movie as perfectly cast, written, acted or directed for a long time, and it's been a long time since we have. It is based upon the book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, The Social Network revolves around the making of one of the biggest websites of all time. This would be Facebook, and it also focuses on it's maker, Mark Zuckerberg.

One of the best things about this movie is Aaron Sorkin's script. He is the writer of A Few Good Men, and...
