The Killer Inside me (2010)

This movie had well known actors such as Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson, and Jessica Alba. Casey Affleck’s character, Lou Ford is a small town deputy sheriff who finds himself involved in a rape and murder investigation of Jessica Alba’s charter, prostitute Joyce Lakeland. Views will be surprised at the twist the plot takes, not only at the end but when throughout the entire thing. You will be shocked to see who the killer is and how easy killing comes to them.

This is one of those movies that I don’t to tell too much about because I am fearful that it will ruin the suspense of the plot.

This movie came as a complete surprise to me. I had not heard anything about it until we went to rent a movie one night. It was one of those movies we just picked up because there was nothing to else to watch and I really like Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba. It was surprisingly good and I would strongly recommend it anyone who likes suspense/drama films.

Where have I been---

I know it has been way too long since I updated my blog. I have seen so many movies that I need to get on here. I am going to try my best to get this updated and stay on top of things. First up...The Social Network. Please read on and come back for more movie updates very soon.

The Socal Network (2010)

I held off as long as I could but I ended up watching the Social Network last night. It lived up to the hype. For those of you who might have been living under a rock for the last few months, this movie is about the founder of Facebook and how the most famous site in the world was started. At first it was hard to follow but it all came together as the movie continued. Jesse Eisenberg, played founder Mark Zuckerberg and did an excellent job. When watching the movie you actually believed that he was the founder not just playing a part.



The thing I found to be ironic is that Justin Timberlake played the founder of Napster, seeing how he is a recording artist and I am sure was very against Napster back in its hay day. Once again, I am shocked that he is actually a good actor and does not just get parts in these major movies because he is Justin Timberlake.



I saw several reports that Facebook founder March Zuckerberg was upset by the movie and felt it did not portray him well but I think it was told very well. Of course the thought that he is being accused of stealing the idea for Facebook from other is not something you want highlighted. However it seemed to me that the movie showed the exact opposite of this accusation. It is one thing to think of an idea, it is another to actually have the courage, insight and ability to make that idea happen. I think Mark should be proud of how this turned out. I found myself thinking, “How does one obtain the knowledge to even start something as big and technologically advanced as Facebook.”



I would defiantly recommend that anyone who has used Facebook watch this movie and let’s face it, that is everyone.
