The Green Hornet is not the serious Marvel heroes' movies like Spiderman, Captain America or Superman. Rather, there is a cynical side to it that the real hero Green Hero is a hopeless figure and depends on his sidekick, Kato solely.
The Hornet is Britt Reid (Rogen), the playboy son of a newspaper mogul (Wilkinson) who inherits his father's company after the old man succumbs to a bee sting. He also "inherits" his dad's mechanic and coffee-maker Kato (Chou), who turns out to be a genius.
They hatched the idea to be in the capes to fight crimes. There are plenty of laughs as Green Hornet tires to fight the bad guys only to be a hopeless until Kato intervenes.
As they become more well-known, Green Hornet begins to crow about his success leaving no credit to Kato. Naturally, both fight it out one night. Will this be the end of their liaison?

The Tourist
An American tourist, Frank (played by Johnny Depp) is asked by a beauty in Paris to play her lover because she is hunted by the authorities. He played along not knowing that the pretty woman, Elise (Angelina Jolie) is part of an espionage. There are twists and turns in the movie and the best part is the ending when you think it is so but it turns out differently. Enjoyable.

Gulliver's Travels
Just like the Grimm brothers' original tale, the guy who is travelling in this modern adaptation is Lemuel Gulliver who has been working in the mail room of a corporate office for more than a decade. He is attracted to a lady in the same office but too shy to approach her. Then he hires a new guy who overnight becomes his boss and Gulliver is asked to take some bold approach to improve his life, at work or romantically. Though he couldn't do the latter, he plagarised a website's content to write about a place of attraction. Thus he wins a trip to Bermuda's Triangle and that's when he shipwrecks and wakes up in Lilliput.

The Social Network
Every facebooking users will want to know how it all started. This is what this show is about, how Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook. Being a Harvard student only underscores the genuis' idea who one night decides to create a platform for friends to connect.
However, all is not a bed of roses as the founder of Napster, Sean Parker (played by Justin Timberlake) claims that Mark has plagarised his idea and sues him.
In one of scenes Sean in a discussion with Mark said that they are aiming at millionaires anymore but Billionaires! So, even if the amount of claimed is settled, Mark still doesn't lose much.
