By God the cinema looks like a grim place to be at the moment. There’s a full-on fervour for the type of film that was churned out in the ’80s. Yep. The yuppies are back and there’s movies being made about them.
Last weekend, one of the original highflyers returned and crash landed at the top spot. Gordon Gekko from Wall Street arrive with the sequel and now, well, we’ve got the newest kind of go-getter with Yupster, Mark Zuckerberg.
Unfathomably, someone saw fit to make a film about him and Facebook. Yes. A film about a bloody website.
1. Sitting at the top of the movie charts like a gargoyle is The Social Network, which is a film about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. The film is the typical schlop of the rise to power, the acquiring of enemies, huge parties and swimming pools filled with women and, of course, people smashing their fists against tables and shouting a lot. Also stars Justin Timberlake. Have a series of numbers which denote the amount of money spent by people wondering how you go about making a film of a website – $23,000,000
2. Talking owls play out unimportant stuff blown way out of proportion in the fantasy romp, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole. Basically, this is filling a hole for those too breathless to wait for the new Harry Potter films. It earned this amount of money $10,855,000
3. Michael Douglas is astonishingly ill, so we can’t make any jokes about him because that would be plain nasty. We can, however, not that his character in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is a complete shit. $10,100,000
4. The Town continues to be popular among cinema-goers and Ben Affleck must be thrilled to bits. Basically, he’s did absolutely everything in this film. He played every single role, shot every frame and forged his phlegm into the reels which are played in the cinema halls. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE. $10,000,000
5. Still hanging around the top 5 is Easy A, which is a kooky comedy thing about people’s virginity. That’s because people’s virginity is funny, right? $7,000,000
