‘iSteve’ Review: Don’t Watch This. Just Don’t.

Sure, he doesn’t look, sound, or act like Jobs, but… no, there is no but. It’s just bad.

I wanted to stop watching. This “hilarious” “biopic” of Steve Jobs by the “genius” “writers” at Funny or Die just kept going. It’s even eighty minutes long. It’s super stupid long. But what part got me going the most? What part made me groan the most? Maybe it was- well, let me back up. iSteve is not, by any means, a retelling of history. There are familiar names in familiar situations, but this “movie” is really little more than a series of poor sketches stapled end to end. It makes that Ashton Kutcher Jobs flick look like Oscar material.

New ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Trailer Reveals Somber Kirk, Super Enterprise

What a big, uh, ship you have.

Guys, we’re getting really close to the release of that Star Trek movie, so it makes sense that the release content is hitting a fevered pitch. Building on the last trailer, we’re really starting to see the story come together, piece by piece, before our eyes and that makes me so much happier than the debut tease.

’42’ Review: A Jackie Robinson Movie That’s Not About Jackie Robinson

’42’ Review: A Jackie Robinson Movie That’s Not About Jackie Robinson

The Jackie Robinson Story…starring Harrison Ford.

Writer/director Brian Helgeland’s 42 purports to be a biopic on the life and career of Jackie Robinson, the major league baseball Hall of Fame-r who shattered the color barrier in sports by becoming the first African American to play baseball on the professional level. The film is a well-intentioned picture that unfortunately stands as another example of what happens when a white guy attempts to tell African American history: Instead of focusing on Jackie Robinson, the story mostly centers on Branch Rickey, the executive responsible for signing Robinson with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
