This entertaining look at the story of the from-the-get-go rivalry of Apple founder Steve Jobs (Noah Wyle) and Microsoft pioneer Bill Gates (Anthony Michael Hall) provides equal parts laughs and insight, set to an energized soundtrack. Told from the points of view of Jobs's and Gates's collaborators--Steve Woziak and Paul Ballmer, respectively--the film intelligently charts each camp's bumpy ride from garage experimentation to industry domination.

I have to say that I was really excited to be invited to DavidK93's write-off in celebration of his second anniversary at Epinions. I guess it was because I immediately knew what I wanted to review. Having to pick a movie from a former brat packer, it was no choice for me to go with Anthony Michael... Read full review »

There they go, down the bunny trail. The bunny trail to massive, computer-fueled riches, I mean.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are two of the Information Age's archetypical players, so it's only right that they be portrayed in the medium most suited to the Age: audio-visual. Because,... Read full review »

Pros A lesson in life

Recommended it? Yes

Funny how this happened. The day I grabbed "Powder" out of the shelf in Blockbusters, was the day that a TV station played it...and watching it twice was not a bad thing at all. Not at all.

Powder is another one of those movies that inspire people to do good at least for a day. It's a... Read full review »
