Did the Filmdogs crew think the show was as bad as other critics are saying? Were all the winners justified? Listen in to find out.

Scene Stealer | The Social Network “Opening”
Much has been said about David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin‘s The Social Network and rightfully so, it’s one of the most perfect films I’ve ever seen. Since purchasing the Blu-Ray I’ve consumed every special feature like an addict, with only the cast commentary left for my enjoyment. One of the more interesting aspects of the disc is the behind the scenes footage of director Fincher and writer Sorkin discussing elements of the script, and analyzing every detail of plot/character. One would think that the two such creatively strong minded people wouldn’t get along without butting heads, yet the result is on screen, and it’s beautiful to watch.

Score Your Week | The Social Network
David Fincher‘s The Social Network has received (almost) unanimous praise and having seen it this past weekend, I can jump on board. It is one of the years best and deserves all the acclaim and more. The impeccable script, the fantastic acting, the beautiful lighting, and the direction of an artist are many examples of the film’s great attributes. Another example of the film’s originality is Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor’s heart pounding score.
Why can’t we be friends? | Review: The Social Network
Director David Fincher and writer Aaron Sorkin‘s The Social Network is one of the few films I’ve seen in my lifetime that has lived up to the level of hype surrounding it’s release. The strange partnership of these two talents winds up being the equivalent of a cinematic dream team mowing down it’s shorter and slower competition. Yes, it’s the facebook movie, but it packs more punch than nearly any film of 2010.
