299) Of Gods and Men (2010) and 301) The Social Network (2010)

299) Of Gods and Men (2010) Dir: Xavier Beauvois Date Released: February 2011 Date Seen: September 23, 2010 Rating: 4/5

301) The Social Network (2010) Dir: David Fincher Date Released: October 2010 Date Seen: September 24, 2010 Rating: 2.75/5

I started to like The Social Network more the second time around one I wasn't judging it as strictly as an adaptation of The Accidental Billionaires. When I did revisit Of Gods and Men, I also liked it a lot more. Good signs. See my capsule reviews for the New York Press.

RV!: Zodiac (2007)

RV!: Zodiac (2007) Dir: David Fincher Date Released: March 2007 Date Seen: June 14, 2010 Rating: 4.25/5

Yeah, I know, a great choice for a B-picture in a double bill with Despicable Me, right? Second viewing of Zodiac, first time on a big screen (first time via a Netflix disc that kept skipping, even after repeated cleanings). See my piece on it, comparisons to Memories of Murder and Olivier Assayas for the New York Press.
