It's been a while since I've seen a really good contemporary Italian film. Very smooth, well acted, well directed, with some subtle editing flourishes which transform it into a real work of art. Nothing groundbreaking tho, or possibly even particularly durable/memorable, but a very nice watch nonetheless.

It's one of the creepiest, tensest movies I've ever seen. Time hasn't dulled its edge at all, or if has, I can't even imagine how terrifying the movie must have been when it was new.

I have always found John Huston's early films ripe for remakes. Key Largo and The Asphalt Jungle have a huge amount of subtext and complexity whilst still being lean and mean thrillers although saying that Mitchum is fecking brill in the original Cape Fear.

Overall, I didn't like it. It came off as false and telling an inaccurate story. I hated the ending scene so retarded and the whole premise of how facebook was created as a revenge for this girl telling him he was a crappy date. Meh He was being a complete ****ing *******/douchebag. I also don't feel that that whole encounter went like that irl. I guess I watched this movie thinking it was supposed to be more like a documentary and more true to what really happened but in the end it was just a drama loosely based off of the events. I just didn't care for it. The acting from Justin Timberlake and Andrew Garfield were great though. I think Justin Timberlake should have gotten a nomination for supporting actor. Not that he would win in that category but he should've been recognized for it. I could careless about Jesse's acting performance because I hated the character. that's my review that I posted like last week in this very same thread. No no no, they would've been boring if it was separate. I love the way it was executed. I love how they switched between the two concepts to make it a more interesting movie. It would have been super boring as just a girl breakout story and the fantasy epic parts added a nice little touch to keep it slightly more entertaining. The thing is though once you get over the fact that you don't get to see her dance the first two times, it's not really necessary.

The Social Network was an excellent movie though, I honestly don't see what there is to dislike.
