The Social Network

I have no use for Facebook, yet a movie about Facebook's (possibly larcenous) founding works for me. It just goes to show that, in the right filmmaker's hands, any story can be worth your time. Especially notable is the use of Justin Timberlake--seemingly a case of stunt casting--who almost steals the show as a thinly veiled version of Napster's Shaun Fanning. As for the accusations of wrong-doing by Mr. Zuckerberg...well, "not proven" as they say in Scotland, but the kid sure doesn't come across very well here. You may judge for yourself, by seeing this film.
