Really? Did we need to make a second movie? And did you really need to repurpose the plot of the first? I mean, it's pretty obvious by now Corey Feldman will take any chance he can to plug his acting/band/douchbaggery whenever he can…. but don't destroy an all-ready f-ed up classic! Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I would only suggest seeing this film if you're a) really drunk and/or b) obsessed with Corey Feldman or c) have nothing better to do. One last rant about this film: They list Corey Haim in the credits, however, he's not in the film until the credits where he makes a minimal debut. Super lame. DO NOT see this film if you expect to watch the Feldman/Haim match=up or even the classic Frog brothers match-up either. Corey Feldman is the only original in this flop.

Once again, Aaron Sorkin captivates his audience with his uncanny ability to create fascinating characters for the big screen. Regardless of your familiarity with Facebook or the Internet in general, you'll find yourself relating to these imperfect, very human individuals portrayed in The Social Network. While based on a true story, Sorkin doesn't shy away from taking liberty to extend his own interpretation of the main character, Mark Zuckerburg, in this classic tale of friendship and betrayal. My only disappointment in this film was the fact that I had super high expectations of seeing a Fincher-esquire film. Don't get me wrong, the film was shot beautifully…. it just didn't have the David Fincher quality we all know from such classics as Fight Club and Panic Room.

I must admit: I'm a huge fan of thrillers…the only problem is I'm often disappointed by the weak story plots and cliché endings that plague most of the new suspense films that are being dished out by Hollywood fools lately. That being said, I didn't expect much when I went to see Boy Wonder at the Thrill Spy Fest in D.C. Michael Morrissey's Boy Wonder sets itself apart from the senseless crap out there today. It keeps you guessing the whole way through, and just when you think you figured out the ending, you're proved wrong. The film is a classic man vs. man revenge plot, with enough twists and turns to keep you interested. For an indie film, I was pretty surprised by the writing and acting. This director is definitely going places. The lead guy who played Caleb was awesome too. He definitely has that troubled method actor type quality to him. Expect to see him around in the future. Not sure whether or not this is going straight to DVD or if it will stay in the festival circuit for awhile, but if you have the opportunity to see Boy Wonder, you won't be disappointed.
