Was very good. Kutcher was very good, kept the movie going. His look was very similar to Steve Jobs and so dying funny guy, Josh Gad played Steve Wazniak and was just as good.

7.5 out of 10 and will watch again.

Reviews were wrong, this was a very good movie.

That's your opinion and all, which is fine. But I found the reviews to be spot on. Not a great movie. 4/10 But we don't always have to agree on the same things.

Watched Lincoln (2012) again the other night. Now that is a powerfully good movie. Well acted and so well written & Directed. 9.5/10.

Completely agree with your post. I loved the movie, not sure how accurate it is on his life, but if most is true I learnt a lot. I'm more of a watch the movie, not read the book kind-a-guy. Maybe one day I'll read the book.

Have watched the movie twice. Really good!

I was expecting a little more from this as i'd heard very good reviews on the radio. It was decent though. Rob Lowe is awesome in it - he plays this plastic surgeon who's had way too much surgery. Brilliant performances from Michael Douglas and Matt Damon.

Prisoners - Knew Villeneuve was one to watch after Incendies (one of my favourites). Did not disappoint, even if it did fall into some familiar territory towards the end. Jackman's best work since the Fountain/the Prestige. 9/10

Captain Phillips - Fits the 'action thriller' genre perfectly. Hanks is typically good, but Barkhad Abdi (guy who plays Muse) steals the whole show. Just brilliant. 8.5/10

Owning Mahowny - Im a gambler so always on the lookout for good gambling flicks as theyre few and far between. Always knew of Owning Mahowny but never got around to watching it

The movie really nailed the attitudes and tendencies of a compulsive gambler and Hoffman pulled the lead off perfectly.

The movie is based around a Toronto banker Dan Mahowny and it follows his life over 2 years while his addiction takes complete control of him

Neck and neck with Let it ride on the best gambling movies out there, 4/5

I didnt know anything about Steve Jobs until he died, and still dont know much. Then all these nerds saying he was the best thing that happened with computers etc.

Going from the movie (which i know more than likely isnt accurate) he was a good visionary but he didnt do stuff all. Woz was the brains behind the first computer, Jobs didnt do anything except get the business going. The way the character was shown in the movie showed he was a prick of a person who didnt do anything special for computers and too me is over hyped. (based on the movie haha)

Enough Said - Very good comedy. Really mixes the drama in well while the comedy is consistent throughout. The Toni Collette friend storyline was a bit superfluous but the main plot and performances by James Gandolfini and Julia Louise Dreyfus were spot on. 7.5/10

Watched all 6 Fast and Furious movies lately. Enjoyed 1 and 3 (despite not having Diesel and Walker in it), 2 was pretty good as well. After that it does start to go downhill a bit, although towards the end of 5 had the best action sequence out of the lot of them.

Could do a hell of a lot worse if you were just after a flick that's a bit of fun really.

Watched The Call yesterday. Was much better than I expected. There were quite a few 'edge of your seat' moments. It was getting a little predictable in the last 30 minutes or so but I liked the little twist at the end. Enjoyable thriller for a rainy Sunday afternoon.
