Fact Friday

  Today's fact will be about a great movie with a great cast and a director.The Social Network is about the creation of facebook and its resulting lawsuits.It's based on the book The Accidental Billionaires from Ben Mezrich and is written by Aaron Sorkin.The cast includes Jesse Eisenberg as facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg, Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin and Justin Timberlake as Seaun Parker.The movie's director is David Fincher, who has also directed Fight Club (one of my top ten movies), Zodiac, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Panic Room and many others.
  One of the lawsuits in the movie is between Zuckerberg, Eisenberg's character, and the Winklevoss twins.And though they are twins in the movie there was only one actor portraying them.Yes the Winklevoss twins you saw in the movie (and if you didn't you certainly must) were acted out by one actor, Armie Hammer.
  So there you go.That was the fact of the day.I hope you enjoyed it and come back next Friday for more.

Fact Friday

  Today's fact of the day is about a well-loved movie by a lot, including myself. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a movie based on a novel with the same name.It stars Emma Watson, Logan Lerman and Ezra Miller as three teenage outcasts who come together, become best friends and "blossom" with the help of each other.
  The most powerful scenes, in my opinion, from the movie are the scenes driving through the tunnel.During these moments where the cast drives the back of the truck  through the Fort Pitt  Tunnel they were actually wearing safety wires.So even though it looks awesome it is pretty dangerous and should not be done in real life.
  I, just, have to add that i think this movie has one of the best endings i have ever seen in film.It sums up the movie perfectly and it elevates to a whole other level.It is emotional, powerful and the best possible way to end the film.
