The Social Network (2010) Direction: David Fincher Screenplay: Aaron Sorkin; from Ben Mezrich's book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Armie Hammer, Rooney Mara, Max Minghella, Brenda Song, Joseph Mazzello, Patrick Maple, Dustin Fitzsimons, Bryan Barter, Toby Meuli Highly Recommended Jesse Eisenberg, The Social Network When a movie, in subsequent viewings, not only sustains the brilliance one saw in it through the first viewing but reveals itself as a more complex and deeper piece of filmmaking, one knows that it must be something special. The Social Network, David Fincher's latest, is one such film. It is not only Fincher's best, but also the best film of 2010. Additionally, The Social Network is an important effort because it is fully relevant to our times. Adapted by Aaron Sorkin from Ben Mezrich's book The...

Film: ‘The Social Network’; Director: David Fincher; Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Rooney Mara, Bryan Barter, Dustin Fitzsimons; Rating:***
It had to take geniuses to pull this impossibility. How else can you explain engagement in a film on something that is impossible to show visually – technical wizardry? Many films have tried, but where others have failed, ‘The Social Network’ soars, thanks largely to a brilliant script by Aaron Sorkin and the equally brilliant direction of David Fincher.
The global adulation for the film seems justified..

Never mind all the big budget remakes that are supposed to wow you from their opening seconds. Screw all the lame ass CGI effects that most of the time add nothing to our horror genre other than making it seem a bit more cartoonish. If you're in the market for something old school and completely badass, you need to be digging on Eben McGarr's latest feature House of the Wolf Man. We've been telling you about it for months, but now some lucky folks in La will finally get to see it!
This wicked looking black and white homage to the great horrors of yesteryear stars Ron Chaney, Dustin Fitzsimons, Jeremie Loncka, Sara Raftery, Cheryl Rodes and Jim Thalman.
Synopsis
"Dr. Bela Reinhardt (Chaney) has invited five people to his castle to see which of them will inherit his estate. He has arranged for a competition of sorts, and...

One of our eagle-eyed readers sent us a heads-up about a new installment in the Wolf Man saga entitled House of the Wolf Man that is being filmed in and around the Los Angeles area with Sick Girl (review here) director Eben McGarr pulling double duty as the film's writer and director and Lon Chaney, Jr.'s grandson, Ron Chaney, starring as the titular character.
Big Bad Wolf pointed us in the direction of Nuke the Fridge, where we learned the following: McGarr has shot the film to look exactly like a movie made in the 1940's era. House of the Wolf Man was filmed in black and white and full frame. [Along with Chaney] the cast includes Dustin Fitzsimons, Jeremie Loncka, Sara Raftery, Cheryl Rodes, Jim Thalman, and John McGarr.
As you may recall, way back when Universal released two other "House of" movies: House of Frankenstein and House of Dracula. The...
