The Social Network

I enjoyed this movie. It had a pace and an atmosphere that seemed convincing, though I know nothing of the “real story” Clearly coding & not cooking is the “new rock ’n roll” OTOH it made me realise how I don’t really need a Facebook account Happy

It Happened One Night

More Capra @ NFT. This time in NFT1. The first time I saw this at the movies. Clark Gable is hunky too. Another great movie about love and the human condition. A fun Rom Com & Road Movie.

Enjoyed this movie, but not as much as I had hoped. Over-hyped?
