Tower Heist: From IMDB "When a group of hard working guys find out they've fallen victim to a wealthy business man's Ponzi scheme, they conspire to rob his high-rise residence."
My review: Super funny! There may or may not have been one point in which I snort laughed. Usually I think Ben Stiller is quite the over actor, but I think he toned it down a lot in this movie. It was also nice to see Matthew Broderick in a popular movie. Overall, I would totally recommend it.
The Social Network: I know - this movie is like a year old, but at the time, there was no way I would pay the $9.75 to see a movie about Facebook. Last night we rented it from the $1 box at our grocery store. More my speed.
My review: Not bad actually! If you believe that the movie is pretty accurate (producer Aaron Sorkin), then its kinda hard for me to keep my Facebook account. But let's be honest - getting rid of it isn't going to happen. However, I do sorta see both sides from a business perspective: Saverin should have reviewed the contracts. From a normal person's perspective, he betrayed his best friend. As for the Winklevoss twins, they had it coming, although TheHubs said in real life they settled for about $65M. So not too shabby. Overall, a really interesting story, especially given that its based on something we all use daily! What are your thoughts on this one?Hope you're having a great week!
