Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine - Documentary Review

Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine (NR) 128 mins C-

Starring: Steve Jobs

I learned a few interesting things about Steve Jobs from this documentary, but overall it was a little dull. Clocking in at over two hours, the film felt about 20 - 30 minutes too long. Ultimately, this is the opening act for the other (fictionalized) Steve Jobs film starring Michael Fassbender.

Leaving Las Vegas - Book Review

Published: 1990
Leaving Las Vegas - John O'Brien A

One of my favorite films of all time is now one of my favorite novels. I love the grittiness of the story and the writing. Suddenly, I want to re-watch the film.
