Film: "Machete"

This movie was amazing. The level of violence and action is unprecedented when compared to other action films that have been coming out for the past couple of years. Danny Trejo is the perfect character for this movie, and I honestly couldn't think of a better actor for this part. Danny plays an ex-federale in the movie and that definitely adds to the allure of the plot. I don't quite remember the whole story, but the action is what I remember. No other movie I've seen to date had the level of creativity that Machete contains. Trejo rappels down the side of a hospital using a man's intestines. Genius. There aren't many movies that I enjoy as much as I did this one. Definite must-see.

Film: "The Social Network"

As an avid user of facebook, I had to see the new movie titled "The Social Network." The film was based on the launch of the website facebook.com, which we all know and love. This movie focused heavily on Marc Zuckerberg, the CEO of facebook. The plot of this movie was obviously based on real life, as it was just as dull as reality. Honestly, when I go to the movies, my A.D.D. only allows me to pay attention to about 3/4 of the movie unless there is excessive violence, explosions, women and car chases. This movie is simply boring dialogue, and enough of it to make even popular soap operas seem like action/adventures in contrast. All of that aside, however, The Social Network gave me a good understanding of the origins of Facebook, and I think anyone as addicted to Facebook as myself should go and check it out, at least when it comes out on dvd. Definitely not a "Must see" movie, though.
