The Social Network Review

The Social Network review scores have been unparalleled for 2010. In fact, The Social Network review ratings may be the highest for any live action, major studio movie in a long time. Usually, scores in the upper 90s from both Rotten Tomatoes and Meta Critic are reserved for Pixar films, or Oscar-bait independent movies.

However, this is a film that its most passionate fans have already compared to Citizen Kane, at least in structure. Although The Social Network review responses may not hold up at a Kane-like level in 10-20 years, they are extremely high by today's standards.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie is up to 98 percent positive, with only three negative reviews out of 148. According to the Rotten Tomatoes charts, this ties it for the third best reviewed film of the year, with How To Train Your Dragon. Toy Story 3 is at second with a 99 percent positive rating, while a foreign film called Henri-George Clouzot's Inferno has 100 percent, but with only 24 reviews. ( see more on the bozyki)

Ecuador News: Protesting police throw Ecuador into chaos

Hundreds of police protesting a new law that cuts their benefits plunged this small South American nation into chaos on Thursday, shutting down airports and blocking highways in a nationwide strike left citizens and businesses vulnerable to crime.

The rebellious officers fired tear gas and burned tires after taking over barracks in Quito, Guayaquil and other cities. They also set up roadblocks that cutt off highway access to the capital.

Schools shut down in Quito and many businesses closed due to the absence of police protection.

Looting was reported in the capital — where at least two banks were sacked — and in the coastal city Guayaquil. That city’s main newspaper, El Universo, reported assaults on supermarkets and robberies due to the absence of police.

The U.S. Embassy issued a message warning U.S. citizens “of a “nationwide strike by all levels of police, including military police.” It warned them to “stay in their homes or current location, if safe.”

There were no reports of serious violence against the government, but President Rafael Correa was shouted down and pelted with water as he tried to speak with a group of police protesters.

Victim of Secret Dorm Sex Taping Post Facebook Goodbye

A Rutgers University freshman posted a goodbye message on his Facebook page before jumping to his death after his roommate secretly filmed him during a "sexual encounter" in his dorm room and posted it live on the Internet.

Items belonging to 18-year-old Rutgers student Tyler Clementi were found by the George Washington Bridge last week, according to authorities. Clementi's freshman ID card and driver's license were in the wallet.

Clementi's post on his Facebook page, dated Sept. 22 at 8:42 p.m. read, "Jumping off the gw bridge sorry."

Clementi's body has not been recovered, but police have pulled an unidentified male body from the Hudson River just north of the bridge.

Paul Mainardi, the attorney representing the Clementi family, released a statement confirming Clementi's suicide.

Capt. Sig Hansen backs 'Deadliest Catch' duo

Capt. Sig Hansen, star of Discovery's hit reality series "Deadliest Catch," is breaking his silence on the network's lawsuit against two of his co-stars. Not surprisingly, he's backing fellow captains Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand.

"I am very surprised that after all we have been through this past year, Discovery would attack Capt. John and Andy like this," Hansen tells The Hollywood Reporter in a written statement, referring to the death in February of co-star Capt. Phil Harris. "I want people to know the captains stand together and me and my brothers support them 100%."

As THR previously reported, the Hillstrands were sued for $3 million by Discovery for failing to finish work on a spinoff special called "Hillstranded," which was to air this fall. The Hillstrands' lawyer Jeff Cohen then fired back with a statement decrying Discovery's attempt to "extort" his clients.

It's unclear whether the Hillstrand brothers, who have participated in five seasons of the Emmy-winning series, will return to the show. King crab season begins in October, and the plan is for Discovery and producer Original Prods. to resume production as usual.
