New documentary shows the dark side of Steve Jobs

There's a new documentary on Steve Jobs which takes a critical look at the extraordinary life of the late tech icon. Combining old footage and new interviews, Steve Jobs: The Man In The Machine centers on the Apple co-founder's brilliant career and his private life.

Not to be confused with the Steve Jobs movie starring Michael Fassbender, the documentary follows Jobs from his pre-Apple days to his reign as CEO of a multibillion-dollar company. However, the film also depicts him as a brutal and arrogant man driven as much by ambition as innovation.

Steve Jobs: The Man In The Machine is the latest project from Oscar-winning documentary maker Alex Gibney, who is the director behind Taxi to the Dark Side, along with We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks, and, most recently, Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief.

The film will be released in theaters and on iTunes on September 4.

Her looks shine through with such grace and an effortlessly cool confidence. Here is my favorite.

It's like finding a dusty photo album and flipping through the pages, only instead of bad hairstyles, you're greeted with hideous special effects and awful dialogue. Also, the dramatic tension I remembered as nail-biting was now… well, a little slow-paced. But the truly entertaining part of rewatching a movie is that you notice things you never did before. For example, in Midnight Cowboy , I didn't know that the guy who gave Joe Buck (Jon Voight) a blow job was played by Bob Balaban, who later became known for his role as Russell Dalrymple, the fictional president of NBC in Seinfeld . Released in 1969, Midnight Cowboy is a raw, sometimes uncomfortable, often heartbreaking, but ultimately deeply human. And seriously, the chemistry between Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) and Buck is pure gold. Rewatching a movie is like visiting an old friend. You know their idiosyncrasies, their stories, bu...

Inside the Mind of Gil Bruvel

Just discovered Gil Bruvel's art and my mind is officially blown. He turns wood into pure motion and human forms into something otherworldly. Gil's mastery of his chosen medium is undeniable. You find yourself leaning in, squinting, trying to figure out how he does it. He's a master illusionist and he challenges us to question what we see, to look beyond the obvious, and to embrace the fluidity of existence.
