The Epoch Times film critic picks five films, next on the big screen in October, that appear to have potential, and collates some critic opinions for each.
Oct. 9
‘Steve Jobs’
Cast:
Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, Sarah Snook, Jeff Daniels
What:
“Steve Jobs.” Another movie about the life and times of Apple CEO Steve Jobs? We just had “Jobs,” starring Ashton Kutcher. That wasn’t very good; 7 out of 12 critics on the film-review website “Rotten Tomatoes” didn’t like “Jobs.” Some critic comments about the Kutcher version:
“All of this information could be found in a simple Internet search,” said Matthew Toomey of ABC Radio Brisbane.
“Fawning Hagiography,” said Fiona Williams of sbs.com.au.
Michael Fassbender portrays the pioneering founder of Apple in "Steve Jobs," directed by Academy Award winner Danny Boyle and written by Academy Award winner Aaron Sorkin. Set backstage at three iconic product launches and ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac, the film takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution to paint an intimate portrait of the brilliant man at its epicenter.
