Jobs

There’s no denying Steve Jobs' role in theApplephenomena and how the iPhone changed the world. It can be easy to be completely in awe and fascinated by the person behind this revolutionary piece of tech, but Jobs was notoriously difficult to work with and his conflicts at Apple as well as in his personal life are revealing.

This biographical depiction of his life covers it all, from his days as a student dropout to the unveiling of the iPod. The movie is directed by Joshua Michael Stern, with Ashton Kutcher starring as Steve Jobs and Josh Gad staring as Apple’s co-founder Steve Wozniak.

The Italian Job

Firstly, if you’re a fan of the original film of the same name, the 2003 remake isn’t “going to blow your doors off” but if you’re in need for an action and star packed blockbusterThe Italian Jobis sure to deliver.

The remake follows a similar gold heist and features an equally gripping yet modern take on the classic mini car chase through the beautiful Italian mountains. It also features a long list of Hollywood A-listers including Donald Sutherland, Mark Wahlberg, Edward Norton and Jason Statham.

If Beale Street Could Talk

If Beale Street Could Talkcan be quite an emotionally challenging yet powerful film. It might be a little too long, but the incredible cast – it stars KiKi Layne and Stephan James – and great soundtrack help carry the story.

The movie follows the same plot of the 1974 novel by James Baldwin, which tells the love story of two childhood friends. Set against a backdrop of Harlem in the 1970s, this film is cinematically stunning – it was directed by Barry Jenkins who is also behind the equally as beautifulMoonlight.
