Jobs

So I finally got around to watching Jobs. I got to say I heard about this movie and so many things was just about how terrible it was. I don't think it was as bad as every one made it out to be. The acting was average, the story is a documentary so it is what it is. If you have seen Pirates of Silicone Valley from wwwwaaaay back in the day, this movie is very much on par with it.

The movie follows Steve Jobs from his time in college up until his return to Apple. It mostly focuses on him as a business man. It only gives you glimpses into his personal life and struggles. As far as Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs, sigh.... while I think they could of found better. I will say it wasnt until the beard was shaved and he was sitting having a personal conversation that I was like "oh there is Ashton". So I guess he did a fairly decent job not being himself.

It's not a movie to run out and see but if you are a Apple fan boy or just a fan of Steve Jobs as a person then it's worth looking into. I hear the next Jobs movie is supposed to be 100 times better, we shall see!

Gravity

Just got through watch Gravity and I'm writing this half asleep but... it really held up nicely to those high marks on Rotten Tomato. It stars just two characters. Sandra Bulluck and George Clooney. It takes place during what one would call that absolute worst day an astronaut could have while in space. Hard to talk to much about what happens in the movie with out giving up too much. As you can see in the trailers a space station is destroyed and our two characters are left adrift in space. If you have seen Open Water this is pretty much the space version of this.

Visually this movie was amazing. I watched it in 3D and if you have the ability to do so this is the way to go. It was amazing. This is a movie that as I watched it spent most the movie thinking about how they did it. They seamlessly switched camera angles from 1st person to 3rd person smoothly. They had a great many angles as you could imagine with the characters floating around objects. The special effects in this movie with be winning most all awards as will the acting.

Totally worth a watch. It's a must see movie and you'll be happy you saw it.
