THE BEST OF 2010 IN ENTERTAINMENT


With 2010 in the books, here is a look at the best in entertainment.
Best Movie- The Social Network
     It’s appropriate that the dominant social network was the impetus for the year’s best film, an explosive collaboration of inspired direction from David Fincher, an impeccable script from Aaron Sorkin, and the performance of a lifetime from Jesse Eisenberg as Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg. While some fictional elements were added, this movie depicts the creation of Facebook and rise of Mark Zuckerberg in riveting fashion. There is no doubt that in creating an empire, some people get hurt. Here, we see how the taste of success tested Mark’s friendship with his best friend Eduardo, allowed him to make powerful allies including Napster creator Sean Parker, and the trials and tribulations that grew Facebook into a multi-billion dollar enterprise. No film in years has had a bigger cultural impact and you know the movie is good when you don’t have to use Facebook to enjoy it.
