Guest EXPAT Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 "Jobs" is getting very bad reviews. Heres a funny one: "Hollywood might someday design a sleek, prestige biopic worthy of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.... For now, he's gotten a Dell." Meanwhile I'm Bout to see the first showing of Lee Daniel's The Butler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lurkerspeaks Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Our Fox tv reviewer here liked Jobs and said that Kutcher nailed the role. He also raved about "the Butler" and especially about Oprah's performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 The reviews I've seen ranged from "weak" to "really stank." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Suckrates Posted August 16, 2013 Members Share Posted August 16, 2013 I have no desire to see Jobs. Although Mr Jobs changed the world landscape, I found him to be quite boring, and I am really tired of "Rags to Riches" stories unless they are speaking about ME !

Guest EXPAT Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Lee Daniel's The Butler was absolutely fantastic. The entire cast was amazing. I didn't realize that Mariah Carey was in it. But her role was non-speaking. You'll understand what I mean when you see it. I also wonder if the audience here in Orange County understood the irony of Jane Fonda playing Nancy Reagan. Even though she was only on the screen for 5 minutes it was fully impactful to say the least. I had to laugh out loud at her dramatic turn as Nancy on the arm of Ronny. I suspect that both Oprah and Forest Whitaker will both get Oscar nominations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
