Description The ideas that dominate the tech industry and our day to day lives were born at a secretive Silicon Valley start-up called 'General Magic', which spun out of Apple in 1990 to create the first handheld personal communicator (or "smartphone"). The film combines rare archival footage with powerful honesty from the "Magicians" today, reflecting on the most influential Silicon Valley Company no one has ever heard of. Featuring legendary members of the original Macintosh team, along with the creators of the iPod, iPhone, Android and eBay.

I just finished watching this movie and I was stunned. I don't have a lot of money to spend on movies, but this one was worth every penny. I have been in the film industry for many years and this is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. The acting was great, the story was amazing, and the production was a brilliant feat of work. I am so proud of everyone involved and how they worked together to get this movie produced. I really can't think of any other documentary that has done this to such a great effect. I was so impressed with the work of everyone involved. I hope to see many more films like this one.

An amazing film about the story of Esther Vilar de la Cruz, a young woman who was raped and killed by her stepfather. The film has some disturbing images, but it is not violent, and is more about the psychological effects of the crime on the victims family. The film shows the mental and physical abuse that the stepfather had on the family and the physical abuse that Esther suffered. It also shows how the stepfather was able to continue living with the family, while the family were at a standstill and without money, until the next family had money to live on. This was a very sad story, and one that needs to be told. This film is a must see, especially for women who have experienced the trauma of sexual assault.

I just got home from seeing this documentary and I am still speechless. It made me feel like I had spent the day at home with my family and friends, sharing in their laughter and good times. This movie is something to be watched more than once. I have not felt that way about a documentary since watching the late great Sam Elliot's "The Street." It is a great way to unwind and take a break from your busy life. The way the filmmaker portrayed the relationship between the two is so real. I recommend this documentary to anyone who is interested in a good laugh, good times and peace of mind. I hope that everyone else who views this movie will take the time to watch this documentary and take away from their busy day.

What a wonderful documentary about the importance of meditation in our lives. We were all surprised by the things we learned about our lives when we realized that meditation is not just a passive process but one that is both useful and therapeutic. I really enjoyed the way it explained the benefits of meditation and the effect it has on the mind and body. This is an extremely well-made film and I think it deserves more exposure than it has received. I also really appreciated the way that it challenged the audience to think about their own experiences with meditation. I really hope that people see this film and that they learn from it. I know that it was one of the most watched documentaries in 2014 and I hope that it was not just a one-time thing. I think it was well-made and will definitely be the best film that I will see in 2014. I really hope that this is the start of something that is long lasting and that more people get the benefit of meditation. We need more people to learn about meditation and to see that it is beneficial and to have access to it. Thank you for making this documentary and for making it available to all.

This is a very deep and philosophical documentary, well worth the time and money to watch. I have to say that the majority of the comments I have seen on this are very negative, the reason I read these comments is because it is so easy to understand the point the director is trying to make. I think it is quite obvious that most people see the film as an attack on the church, it is in fact a very positive view of the church. However, I think the most interesting thing is the fact that people tend to see the documentary as a really big attack on Christianity. The director makes a clear point that Christianity is not something to be attacked. It is something that is very unique in that it has been the target of countless cultures and religions and therefore it has survived the test of time, the fact that the majority of the people who are not Christians do not really understand it, they see it as a religion that can only be understood by people that are Christian and that makes Christianity a bad religion, but that is a very simplistic way of thinking. It is also a bit arrogant to say that Christianity is a religion that was never attacked. I think the real truth is that the church has been attacked many times, and the Christians have always responded by defending their beliefs, but I think the movie makes this point in a much more personal and powerful way, and the movie is very entertaining, it is an amazing journey. I highly recommend this film, and I think you should see it.

I am a huge fan of Richard Dawkins. He is a brilliant man and a fantastic scientist. I have read a number of his books. I know him well, and I am very grateful that I am able to share my opinions and observations with those who care about the world. I'm so grateful to have been able to meet with Richard, and share my opinions and observations. I have learned so much from him. I was especially impressed with how he has taught me that there are different kinds of science, and that he is in fact the father of modern science. I also learned that, even though he may be a genius, there is a difference between science and religion. I was also very impressed with his "doctrine of God" and his approach to religion. I have to say that his ideas are not at all the same as mine, which are quite different. But that's my opinion. The movie was very well made. The documentary style of the documentary is done very well, and it allows the viewer to share in Richard's ideas. The movie is well structured. It has a very interesting plot, and there are a number of interesting ideas that are not shown in the documentary style, and which are instead shown in the movie. Richard has such an inspiring story. I have read Richard's books, and he is an amazing man. He is a scientist, a philosopher, a person who has a remarkable capacity for giving meaning to life. I hope that we will be able to learn from him. I have read the book "The Magic of Reality". It is very inspiring. I wish we could all learn from Richard Dawkins, and this movie is very much an example of that. Thank you, Richard.

I was a fan of the video games and I found this documentary to be very interesting. The documentary is not about the games, but about the people that were involved in making them. I really liked the idea of using an actor to portray the video game characters. The idea of the film is to show the gaming industry from the beginning to the end. I think that the movie does a good job of showing the development of games and the technology that was used to make them. The film does not show the people who worked on the game and it does not show the game itself. This is a good documentary that I recommend to anyone who wants to know more about the game industry.

This is the most important documentary I have ever seen. For all of us who are at the mercy of our own decisions, this is a must see! It gives you the real, unedited truth about this insidious cancer. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I first saw this film in a TV movie show on Channel Four. It's been on television twice now. It's a very good film. I've seen it again a number of times, and I am still amazed at what I saw. It's incredible, I have to admit. There is no real script. It's just you, watching the real thing. It's really quite powerful. It has a good cast. I would love to see more films like this. I am really surprised at the overall review on this site. Maybe they have seen it, and they didn't like it. This is an excellent film. It is very moving and it is a real eye opener. It has something for everyone. It really is a must see.

A must-see for all of us that have worked in the entertainment industry. This is an eye-opening documentary on the movie business. It features interviews with dozens of celebrities, directors, and producers from different disciplines. The movie is extremely well-filmed and has a very interesting and insightful script. The story revolves around the movie industry and how the business is financed and why it is so much more important than any other industry. The actors are all well-cast, as is the director. It is a shame that the film is not available in its original format in the US. That is, it would have added to the value of the film. This is a must-see for anyone who loves movies and who wants to know what is happening behind the scenes. If you haven't seen this film yet, I would recommend that you watch it in its original format.

This is a documentary that was not only in a nutshell, but also an epic. This movie is a MUST-SEE for all who love science, history, and about the future of the human race. This movie is very educational and entertaining. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in discovering the history of this great country. I think that there is much to learn from this movie. It shows us the vision of this country and its people. This is a must-see movie for everyone.

I just love how these people and how they are speaking up about what is going on in the world. I don't understand how people are saying this is not an issue or that they are not concerned about what is happening to their own children. This is a very important issue. I love how you can see the size of these homes and how you can see the reality of it all. It is really sad and it is really sad that it is happening in our own backyard. This is really important to me and to all of us. This is really a movie to watch and I hope that you will find this movie to be as important as I did.

This is a really important documentary. This movie was absolutely breathtaking. I thought it was going to be a waste of time. I expected the narration to be a non-existent cliche, like in the last five years we've had, for example, the "Oscar" of our time, for the remake of "The Matrix". But this movie changed my life. I mean, for a change, I can now see the documentary from the perspective of the participants, instead of the director of the film. In fact, all the actors and the director did a really amazing job. For example, they made me realize that this is an art, not a science. They have shown us that this is an art, not a science. It's important to show this aspect of our life and how it changes us, but not in a scientific way. We are all, like the actors and director, are human beings. So it's important to be open to new things and not to judge it on its scientific or mathematical side. We are all artists and, like the actors and director, we all need to evolve to a new level, to get past the "scientific illusion". The people who made this documentary were amazingly inspired by the director's energy and energy of his life. I also appreciated that they kept the main idea of the film, which is to say, we all have the power to change our lives, and that, in fact, that power is within us, it is within us, but we all need to make it usefully. I am a scientist, I am a psychologist, I am a social worker. But, to me, this film is like a new scientific, not a documentary. It's not a documentary, it's a great work of art.

This is a very interesting documentary, as it is both well crafted and well edited. It is also a very well researched documentary. It's a good watch and a great time at the movies.

I was quite surprised to see this film being screened in a few places in New York City and at a screening in the SoHo area, at the Watermark Theater. It's not that I am any fan of Bruce Campbell, but I found the film very moving. I had no idea what it was about, other than the title and the fact that it was being shown in a few theaters. I'm glad I didn't pay full price to see it. The film is a combination of a series of interviews with the people involved in the making of the film, along with some archival footage. It's well-filmed, well-edited and the interviews are well-chosen and well-balanced. The performances are excellent, and the people involved in the making of the film have done a great job. I'm glad I saw it. My rating: 8 out of 10.

Cannibal Holocaust is one of those documentaries that you will either love or hate. I really didn't know what to expect from it. But after watching it, I was impressed. It is a very sad, yet very powerful documentary that is definitely worth watching. The story of the film is about a group of people that were forced to eat other humans in the Nazi concentration camps. The film follows the people's stories and their lives during the Holocaust. They all tell their stories through a series of videos. The only thing that I really don't understand is why the Nazis killed all these people. It seems that the whole point of the film is to show that the Nazis were cruel and had no mercy. I guess it's because they were going through a very difficult time and wanted to keep their own race alive. They didn't really want to kill all the people. The Holocaust is a really hard topic to deal with, but this documentary is really a good one. It will definitely make you think about what you're doing, and how you're feeling. I recommend this documentary to anyone who wants to know what the Nazi's did during the Holocaust.
