I have managed to see only three of the Oscar nominated films so far: The King’s Speech, The Fighter, and Social Network, which were all excellent and had great performances. I’ve loved watching Colin Firth ever since he emerged from his pond in Pride and Prejudice, and he’s only gotten better. And while I’m not a particular fan of fight movies, Christian Bale in The Fighter kept me riveted. (As you see, it’s the acting that particularly reaches me.) Of the three, I did think Social Network was the best all around, however. I’m writing this today from Palo Alto, CA, where I may see Mark Zuckerberg himself walk by at any time.
