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.

In this silent classic, Douglas Fairbanks is superb as a mischievous thief who, with the help of a genie's magic, tries to outwit the evil ruler of Bagdad. A wondrous, fantastic adventure, THE THIEF OF BAGDAD showcases the talents of Fairbanks--the first and greatest of film swashbucklers. With the help of a magic rope and a magic carpet, the hero woos a beautiful princess and faces many mortal dangers, including fierce dragons, blazing fires, and swelling waters, in his quest to prove himself worthy of her love.

Pros
Engaging story, very informative
Cons
Those who aren't interested in computers probably wouldn't give it a chance

Yes
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.

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

Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. arabesques about the vast, luxurious facades of the silent "Thief of Bagdad", from 1924, like an agile clarinet about a towering, symphonic score, leaping from palatial heights to the chaotic bazaar, to murky, subterranean dens. It's a delight of motion and curious props, as...

Pros
The special effects and a chance to see Douglas Fairbanks in top shape.
Cons
Do not buy the extremely poor Alpha version! Make sure to buy the Kino version.

The dashing Douglas Fairbanks (ladies he's bare-chested for a great deal of time!) is a thief wanting the biggest prize of all - the princess! He disguises himself as a leader of a foreign land and competes against some other royals for her hand. The one that brings her the rarest gift wins her...
