Friends with Benefits

As far as romantic comedies go this is actually quite good.  Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake were good together, although it was Woody Harrleson who stole the show.  Basically two friends both fed up with relationships decide that to satisfy their needs they would help each other out, so to speak.  The outcome is as predictable as any rom-com but as with all of these it’s more about the journey than the result, which for the most part is very funny.

Film 285/365, Day 317/365 – Bad Teacher

Occasionally funny and mostly predictable.  It’s not your average Rom-Com although it does follow some of the usual steps.  Diaz’s character is despicable and has some funny moments whilst Timberlake’s character is both absurd and bizarre!  Not too much more to it than that really.

Synopsis:  Elizabeth Halsey has just completed her first and last year as a teacher, now she is off to marry her rich fiancé... well that’s what she thought.  He has now finally realised that she is just with him for his money and has kicked her out.  Now she will have to go back to teaching until something better comes along!

Film 109/365, Day 119/365 – The Social Network

An intriguing insight into the creation of the world’s largest social network.  Whether you will come out of it liking Zuckerberg or any of the other parties involved is another question altogether, but you can’t help but admire the way Mark put the Facebook together so quickly.  Not the best film in the world but worth watching.

Synopsis:  You’ve probably heard of Facebook!  Well this is the story behind the creation of Facebook, following the creator Mark Zuckerberg as he deals with the running of the Facebook and two law suits, one claiming that he stole the idea and another from the CFO of Facebook.
