The rocket fish cable will work. Bring your laptop with you to the store to make sure you get the right connections. I use it for my kindle works great.

Depends on what laptop he has. Retina display laptops have a built-in HDMI port that will accept a normal HDMI cable. Older laptops may need a display port to HDMI adapter. If your laptop is newer (2012 or newer, I think) you can also mirror your display to an Apple TV through your wireless network. This way you don't need to have a wire running from your computer to your TV. Also, if you bought your movies on iTunes you can just use the Apple TV to play them on your TV by signing into the same account.

This is likely the right kind of HDMI cable, but I suspect it is too short for your purpose. I would guess you need something at least twice that long to avoid getting tangled up or tripping over the equipment.

Depending on your laptop, you most likely need a mini display port to HDMI adapter which you then can connect a HDMI cable to, and then run that to the TV HDMI input

If your Apple laptop has an HDMI port on it, any HDMI cable should work. If it does not have an HDMI port, you would need to speak with Apple to know what type of adapter you would need.
