“Jobs”: An Epic Performance by Aston Kutcher

One of the best movies, I have personally seen in a while, “Jobs” shows Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, in an interested light. Whether you enjoy the flick or see the movies simply because you are intrigued by Kutcher’s amazing role, it is a one that I worth spending both the time and money.

A movie review by the Washington Post, also provides favorable words:

 
The shaggy-haired hippie kid is far more comfortable territory for Kutcher, who, in his mid-30s, still looks and sounds like a boy. Flashing back to the character as a young man helps the audience get used to Kutcher in the role. The initial shock of seeing the baby-faced actor playing a 46-year-old man subsides, allowing his portrayal to grow on you — and Kutcher to grow into the part — as the character matures. The film follows Jobs from the creation of Apple Computer in his parents’ garage to his 1985 firing and triumphant return to the company in 1996,” (http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-08-15/news/41412207_1_matt-whiteley-joshua-michael-stern-steve-jobs, O’Sullivan, M, 8/15/2013).

New Release Tuesday!


This week’s best new release!

 

“After winning two Grammys for their self-released debut "Barton Hollow," the Civil Wars recorded a follow-up… and, while on tour in Europe, went their separate ways. Singer-songwriters Joy Williams and John Paul White brought in more instruments, added deeper textures and, in general, upped the intensity of the songwriting for their second effort, which Sensibility Music/Columbia Records will release Aug. 6. The first single, "The One That Got Away," is No. 23 on the Triple A radio airplay chart. It has sold 53,000 downloads, according to Nielsen Soundscan.

For this track-by-track review, Williams beat us to the punch by revealing her thoughts on each of the songs -- which we will include along with our own,” (Gallo, P
