The Los Angeles Film Critics Association (LAFCA) has released their 36th annual list of top films of the year, and the internet goes silver screen semi-biopic The Social Network takes top honors. David Fincher, the film's director, gets a nod (in a tie win with Olivier Assayas for his film Carlos) for Best Director, while its scribe, Aaron Sorkin, picks up a win for Best Screenplay. more ›

Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin blasted Sarah Palin's show on TLC in a piece for the Huffington Post today. We agree that the TLC program is nothing more than a political vehicle for Palin and that TLC should be ashamed at providing her with this unrestricted tool to broadcast her absurd viewpoints. TLC has yet to provide similar programming space to people with more brains and better ideas than Palin so we're boycotting the network. --- See our full post for the Must-Watch plan for tonight's programming, our listings, and a couple shopping deals we found. more ›

As someone who had used Facebook since its inception, only to participate in Quit Facebook Day earlier this year, I'm very interested in The Social Network. It's a rare peek into the real world behind our augmented reality, with plenty to "like": David Fincher as director, Aaron Sorkin as writer and Jesse Eisenberg as "the CEO, bitch!" himself, Mark Zuckerberg. The film has a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics comparing it to Citizen Kane, There Will Be Blood & The Godfather. Freakonomics aims for a similar pedigree with its documentary all-star squad: Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me), Seth Gordon (King of Kong), Rachel Grady & Heidi Ewing (Jesus Camp), Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side) and Eugene Jarecki (Why We Fight) tackle abortion, education, offbeat baby names and cheating sumo wrestlers through statistical vignettes, but there may be too many cooks in the kitchen. more ›

The Facebook-based The Social Network, brought to us by Aaron Sorkin ("West Wing"), is due in theatres October 1st. And with such a great preview, released last month, it was only a matter of time before it was mocked. And no better to do with via The Twit Network. more ›

Last Fall I received a copy of the Complete 10th Anniversary Edition of the ABC series "Sports Night" but being a busy fellow I didn't have a chance to put it in the DVD player until January but I've found myself watching at least an episode per night since then, plus all the bonus bits and gag reels. more ›

To conservatives in the media, Rod Lurie may be the ultimate bête noire of Hollywood filmmakers (he would compete with Oliver Stone and Aaron Sorkin). His two highest-profile projects, , fully reflected his Democratic politics and were both harshly labeled by Republican commentators as little more than sops to the (then) presumptive presidential candidacy of Hillary Clinton. more ›

Yes folks it that time of year again when people make lists of the top whatevers that did something, didn't do something, inspired them, made them laugh, cry, sick or any number of other things. For better or worse, I'm no different and am caught up in the whole list thing. So, I will be providing a list of my own for your enjoyment, distraction, derision or otherwise perusal. My list is the top-ten... more ›

You can't mistake an Aaron Sorkin drama. And this time he went from DC to LA. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, "the drama behind the humor of producing a popular, late-night comedy sketch show," is out of control good. Within a few minutes into the show, the low droned dramatic sub-woofer music kicked in while Wes Mendell, played by NUMB3RS' Jude Hirsh, crashed the live filming of the opening skit and presented an... more ›
