Triangle Movie Night: Film Spotlight 1

Triangle Movie night is fast approaching. We've been voting on what films to watch. We will be watching an older film (prior to 2006) and a newer release. For the next five days, I will be highlighting choices I have offered for viewing at the Triangle Movie Night that I will be hosting on February 5, 2011. I've given a brief synopsis of two film choices here (no spoilers) and included the movie trailers as well.

To see the full list of movies we are voting on, for more information about the event, and to RSVP, please visit the event posting here. Please vote whether or not you will attend the event. Everyone is allowed to vote once. Please choose both an older and a newer film you'd like to see or you happen to enjoy. Voting will close at 9am EST on Thursday, February 3, 2011.

On a fall night in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication. A mere six years and 500 million friends later, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history... but for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal complications. - Plot summary source: Columbia Pictures

In the year 2054 A.D. crime is virtually eliminated from Washington D.C. thanks to an elite law enforcing squad "Precrime". They use three genetically altered humans (called "Pre-Cogs") with special powers to see into the future and predict crimes beforehand. John Anderton heads Precrime and believes the system's flawlessness steadfastly. However one day the Pre-Cogs predict that Anderton will commit a murder himself in the next 36 hours. Worse, Anderton doesn't even know the victim. He decides to get to the mystery's core by finding out the 'minority report' which means the prediction of the female Pre-Cog Agatha that "might" tell a different story and prove Anderton innocent. - Plot summary source: Soumitra
