A One Man Job
on August 23, 2016
Posted by: Murvie
Verified Purchase:Yes
Danny Boyle's close up of Steve Jobs is a magnificent piece of writing, acting and direction. With a spectacular script by the master of words, Aaron Sorkin, Michael Fassbender is able to go deep into the hubris that drives one of modern times most powerful media manipulators. Jobs, himself, admits that he is not a star musician, but a conductor (semi or otherwise) who leads the orchestra. The film is entirely conversations at product launching events between Jobs and the principals in his career and personal life. The mixture is sometimes toxic but so was the man. Kate Winslet as Joanna, his marketing and personal manager, keeps the film grounded and moving along. Considering the subject of computers and what drives them and over whom, it's quite a feat that never falters.

Another True Story
on August 23, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Whether or not you enjoy this film depends on your willingness to spend time with unsavory characters and how they use their skills to entangle others in their web of lies. In this case, you get two men, each capable of questionable behaviors trying to outsmart the other. It's a good character study and played well by Jonah Hill and James Franco.

Winner of Oscar Top Spotlight
on August 23, 2016
Posted by: Murvie
Verified Purchase:Yes
Voted Best Picture at this year's Oscars for 2015, expect a taut procedural mixed together with a journalistic expose of the Catholic Church cover up of predator priests in the Boston area. It is a true story where some of the real journalists and their associates populate the newsroom as background to the principal players. Many consider it the best representation to date of print journalism.
