Discussion:

Ninnie: Very interesting! If you use facebook on a daily basis you have to see this one. Or well not really have to but I found it very interesting
Victoria: I thought it was really good. They really made it interesting and "dramatic/drama-filled" (not sure how exaggerated it is compared to reality, but still, it's good for the movie). I liked Jesse (the main character, and he who played the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg).
Ninnie: Me too! I like how "quick" all the lines are. I don't think you'll like it unless you use facebook. What do you say?
Victoria: No, I think you need to be on facebook, and like know about it and stuff. I do think most people do, but yeah. It will be much more interesting for a facebook user, for sure. Was there anything you didn't like about it?
Ninnie: Hm? I feel like I should have something to say about that but Hm? Help me.
Victoria: I know, I'm thinking the same. It's not a perfect movie, but I really can't think of anything bad about it.  What does that tell you....? Hehe.
Ninnie: Totally. Maybe the fact that it wasn't very funny nor exciting. Only interesting. Also, some movies you can definitely tell it's based on a real story, and not in a good way. And this is one of them. Do you know whay mean? It's like a very long process that has been squeezed into like 2 hours.
Victoria: Yes, true. I think I would only say that reason if I really HAD to say something negative about it, though. But I definitely get what you mean.
Ninnie: Exactly!

Sum up: Interesting story and a movie we would recommend to someone who would like to know the background to Facebook.

Victoria: 4/5
Ninnie: 3,8/5

The Runaways

Title: The Runaways
Genre: Drama, Biography, Drama, Music
Release: October 6th (DVD, Sweden)
Actors: Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning, Michael Shannon
Plot: You get to follow Joan and Cherie from the beginning of their career, through the top and to the bottom.

Discussion:
Ninnie: An interetsting story actually, maybe a bit too much of a typical rockband story.
Victoria: True, it's always interesting to watch bios, in my opinion. This wasn't a great one, not bad, not just a "wow" movie.
Ninnie: Yes that's true! Acting?
Victoria: I think both Kristen and Dakota did a good job playing Joan and Cherie. I'd say Kristen did a slightly better job though. What was awesome vs awful about The Runaways, Ninnie?

Ninnie: Nothing was really awesome. But the good part; interesting story and over all good. Bad part; like I said pretty typical and not very very "exciting".
Victoria: Yeah, I know what you mean- over all I can say it was a decent movie, but nothing extraordinary. 
Ninnie: And yea right the music and the pictures are nice too.
Victoria: Indeed.

Sum up: This is not a movie for people who "dislike" and have no interest in female rockbands (from back in the days, kinda). But if you do it's totally worth watching.

Victoria: 3/5
Ninnie: 3,2/5
