Jobs

There’s been a few Steve Jobs movies made but we think this is the best one. Ashton Kutcher plays Steve Jobs as he sets to deliver the first iPod.

If you find yourself struggling for motivation, give this a watch. It will be sure to lift your spirits.

The Joneses are your typical family except for one thing…Their clothing, accessories, furniture, and even food are carefully planned and stocked by various companies to create visibility in a desirable consumer market.

A movie that pushes datafication and privacy to the limits. This stars Tom Hanks and Emma Watson and is a great watch.

Ingrid Goes West

Let’s admit it. We all have Instagram idols, right? Ingrid Goes West is a movie about a girl who travels to Los Angeles to befriend her Insta idol. This is a black-comedy-drama that premiered at The Sundance Film Festival to glowing reviews.
