Critic porn, likely awards magnet and veritable beacon for indie sensibilities in mainstream cinema, “The Social Network” plays like a tech-geek “Rashomon” in a world populated by the geeks and their greed.
Look out for the extended review soon.

Buried (2010) - Review
One of the most remarkable pieces of filmmaking that I have encountered in years; Rodrigo Cortes manages to create a constantly engaging movie with the most basic premise possible: Ryan Reynolds has been buried alive.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010) - Review
Spaced alumni Edgar Wright sets phasers to geek in this— wait, I’m not sure if Wright knows anything other than geek… Oh well, just sit back and bawke at this fitfully hilarious motion picture comic book that zips and whooshs more than a massive Zip-Whoosh machine.

Martin Scorsese doesn’t do adverts - he does 61 seconds films.

Tron: Legacy (2010) - Preview
Early stills may look amazing but with a $200 million budget - in this climate (fuck it, any climate) - Tron: Legacy is gonna have to work very hard not to flop. Especially with directing virgin Joseph Kosinski in charge.
The film isn’t completely devoid of potential however; it features:
- Spectacular visual effects
- Daft Punk on the soundtrack
- Jeff Bridges
- Olivia Wilde (!)
- Jeff fucking Bridges
Only time will tell whether we’ll have another Avatar or another Cutthroat Island.

The A-Team (2010) - Revew
Everything blows up but no one gets hurt in this enjoyably unashamed fluff peppered with unforgivably dodgy CGI.

Shutter Island (2010) - Review
Scorsese does the B-movie, but because it’s Scorsese it’s fucking cool. Worth repeat viewings, and Ruffalo nearly steals the show.

Inception (2010) - Review
Chris Nolan does “The Matrix”, makes everyone forget that Leo was in “Titanic” and OD’s on cross-cutting.

Toy Story 3 (2010) - Review
Imagine a film that is exactly the same as the first two Toy Story movies, but not quite as good as you remember it.
