  1. Movie review: 'The Social Network,' about Facebook founders

    Across far too many stretches of our moviegoing lives, we see movie after movie without seeing one that really moves. At once stealthy and breathlessly paced, "The Social Network" scoots at a fabulous clip, depicting how its version of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg made his billions — and, according to various allegations and two key depositions, whom Zuckerberg aced out of those billions, while following his digital yellow brick road. Is director David Fincher's film the stuff of greatness? Not quite. But the picture is very, very good.

  13. Movie review: 'American Reunion' a raunchy homecoming

    Sweeping aside the film's weirdest unasked question &#8212; who goes to their 13th high school reunion? &#8212; the characters created by Adam Herz for the 1999 hit &quot;American Pie" return for a rather tired sequel called "American Reunion," in which poor, desperate Jim Levenstein's genitals once again get their ears boxed (metaphorically speaking), and Stifler's way with nubile 17-year-olds doesn't seem quite as obnoxiously sprightly as it once did, given that Stifler is now supposed to be in his early 30s and the actor, Seann William Scott, is 35.
