The Social Network

Are you ready for the Mark Zuckerberg's story? For those who who don't know who this guy is, he is the founder of Facebook. Facebook is second most visited site in the world, next to Google.

The success of this Social Network site led to the making of The Social Network, a movie that revolves around the life of Zuckerberg and his creation.

We have read reviews that the movie does not exemplify the real things that happened when the founder was developing facebook, but the good thing is that it is an inspiring story. It shows that you can achieve your goals even with a lot of barriers and obstacles in the way.

This movie is showing on October 27, 2010 in the movie theaters in the Philippines.
