Movie Review: Devil (Spoiler Alert)

So I watched Devil over the weekend. Definitely get a 5 star. One of the best of these type of movies. Not too long, not too short; not too scary, not not scary enough. It's the Goldilocks of the horror genre.

My only thought is, "Wow, if all whores, liars, cheaters, and deserters deserve to die, will there be any humans left?"  Does the devil at least distinguish between the different level of whores/liars/cheaters/deserters? I mean, maybe other than the guy who killed the other guy's wife and kids (unintentionally), the others don't seem like your everyday hardcore criminal. Not even a malicious murderer. And, holy crap, if the devil has to spend half a day to kill four sinners, not to mention the amount of time he/she spent in arranging for them to all be in close vicinity, there's hella lots of work to do their job. One would hope that Devil is an entire team/group/corporation instead of just an individual!
 

Movie Review: The Social Network

So we watched The Social Network the other day and it was an amazing movie and it's not because it's loosely based on a true story. I mean, it is what got me to watch it but since all parties involved signed a non-disclosure agreement, one can only imagine how much truth there are in the story. Better yet, does it have more or less truth than a movie say Open Water? Regardless, the movie has its own merits, as evidenced by all the Golden Globe awards that it has received. The story telling was incredible, even the seemingly not-so-relevant with the girlfriend at the very beginning just reels its audience in instantaneously. The pace -- revealing of the inception/growth/success of Facebook along with the lawsuits -- was spectacular. And the actors were awesome too. It's arguably one of the best movies I've seen.
