Why Are You Ranking: Most Enlightening Business Moments in 'The Social Network' Listed from Foolish to Sage
Never mind (for the moment) the excellent scoring, editing, acting, writing, and directing (among other superlatives). The film The Social Network (2010) stands as one of the best business films to ever come out of Hollywood. Now, of course you might say that it damns money and the whole notion of identifying the founders (and co-founders) of one of the largest companies in human history. But the depiction of the inception of an idea, and that idea being monetized lies at the crux of the movie. While there exist poor fiscal decisions and a disastrous attempt to oust a certain co-founder, the film abounds in the steady progress of what now over two billion people clamor for on an almost minute-by-minute basis. Started by Harvard students, where Mark Zuckerberg vows, upon the formulation of the firm, to “never go back to that life” of pitiful dances at the Jewish fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Facebook has changed the face of the planet. At any given moment, somewhere around the globe, users are sharing stories on Instagram, chatting on Whatsapp, or engaged in virtual reality with Oculus VR (all properties of Facebook). And this is what is so tricky about films. Writer (now director) Aaron Sorkin perpetuates the thought that he is not framing a picture, but instead painting a portrait. With real people, it becomes ever more difficult to portray the “characters” just right. (This writing will only pertain to the actions in the film, not the book, and especially not actual life.) So, get your Gap hoodies and flip flops for Why Are You Ranking: The Social Network’s Most Enlightening Business Moments Listed from Foolish to Sage.

Most Overrated Superhero Movies of All Time
It's a great time to be alive if you're a comic book nerd. A decade ago, the world of comic book movies was scarce: you had a Spider-Man trilogy, a couple X-Men movies, a handful of Batman films, some aging Superman films, and not much else. That all changed in 2008: the year that gave us Iron Man and The Dark Knight, two of the biggest superhero movies of all time. These films helped spawn a new generation of comic book fans and superhero movie fans alike, and now you rarely have to wait more than a few months for a new superhero film to be released. There have been plenty of highs and lows, smashes and bombs in this new era, but right now I want to look at some of the most overrated superhero movies. Some of these are movies I actually enjoy quite a bit, and some of them are pretty much objectively great films, but that doesn't mean they deserve all of the praise they get.

A Short Review of Mary Shelley (2018, Haifaa al-Mansour)
Being a committed and passionate reader of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley (also a fan of the rather unfaithful Universal and Hammer adaptations, forgive me Mary), I had to investigate this film, which is notably directed by Saudi Arabia's first female filmaker, Haifaa al-Mansour.
