The
Judge
The Judge is a 2014 American drama film directed by David
Dobkin. The film stars Robert Downey,
Jr., Robert Duvall, Vera Farmiga, Vincent D'Onofrio, Dax Shepard, Jeremy
Strong, Sarah Lancaster, and Billy Bob
Thornton.
Hank Palmer
(Downey) is an attorney in the mould of
Bobby Donnell of The Practice. He's rich, he's successful and he defends clients who are usually
guilty but can afford Hank's
astronomical fees. When his mother dies, Hank
returns to his hometown of Carlinville, a blink-and-miss-it town in rural
Indiana, where nothing changes. There's easy camaraderie between Hank and his brothers, Glen (Vincent D'onofrio) and Dale
(Jeremy Strong). With their father,
however, the relationship is very different.
Hank's
father is Joseph Palmer (Robert
Duvall), who has served the town's justice
system for the past 42 years as a judge and is known for being scrupulously
fair. Father and son can barely tolerate each other. Initially, it seems as
though the friction arises from Joseph
thinking Hank is a city lawyer with
no principles, but quickly, it becomes evident that the roots of this hostility
lie much further in the past. Hank,
however, is in no mood to untangle old knots. He just wants to leave
Carlinville and is literally on a plane, making his exit, when Glen calls to tell Hank their father has been accused of murder. The only person who
can save Judge Joseph Palmer is, of
course, his son Hank.

Dracula
Untold
Dracula Untold is a 2014 dark fantasy action film directed by Gary
Shore in his feature film debut and written by
Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless. Rather than focus on Irish novelist Bram
Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula,
the film creates an origin story for its title character, Count Dracula, by portraying the story of Vlad the Impaler, of whom Stoker was unaware until he was well into writing that novel. Luke
Evans portrays the title character, with Sarah
Gadon and Dominic Cooper in supporting roles.
Luke Evans stars as Vlad, a man toughened by war as a child
soldier in the army of the Turkish sultan (actually, Ottoman, but what’s in a name?) who now leads a nation that is
autonomous but still has to pay silver to the sultan as a tribute to his glory.
Those around him are his airhead wife, Mirena
(Sarah Gordon), and their son, Ingeras (Art Parkinson).
One day, word arrives
that the new sultan, Mehmed (Dominic
Cooper), demands 10,000 children over the age
of 10 from Vlad’s people, and that Ingeras, who is not yet a teenager, has
to join them, too. Vlad, who in his
former life got the name “Vlad the
Impaler” because he put the fear of God into his enemies by plopping the
heads of those he killed on a stick, reluctantly does as he is told, until one
of the sultan’s men calls him chicken, and he decides to strike back.
And this is where the
whole business with blood comes in. Vlad
knows his resistance will lead to terrible pain for him and his people, but in
order to resist and conquer, he needs an extra bit of help. He thus heads to a
cave deep inside Broken Tooth Mountain, whence an old vampire (for reasons
never made clear) has not set foot in hundreds of years, even at night time.
And that is where he sells his soul to save his nation.

Kill
The Messenger
Kill the Messenger is an American drama thriller film directed by Michael
Cuesta and written by Peter Landesman. It is based on the book of the same name by Nick
Schou and the book Dark Alliance by Gary Webb. The film stars Jeremy Renner (in his first film as a producer), Michael
Sheen, Andy Garcia, Ray Liotta, Barry Pepper, Mary Elizabeth Winstead,
Rosemarie DeWitt, Paz Vega, Oliver Platt, Richard Schiff, and Michael K. Williams.
Which is the better
story: a massive conspiracy to use CIA connections to import cocaine into the
United States, or the efforts of one reporter to uncover that intrigue?
Gary Webb,
the protagonist of Kill the
Messenger, pursued the first topic, and
rightly so — even if it did destroy him. Director Michael Cuesta went with the second, probably because it's more manageable.
The story follows the
reporter, who worked at the San Jose Mercury-News, from a simple drug bust to
revelations that shook the country. Webb's
articles, which have been widely attacked but not substantially refuted in many
respects, showed that the flow of cocaine was linked to the Reagan administration's search for off-the-books financing
of the Contras' war on Nicaragua's leftist government. The mainstream press —
notably the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post — attempted to discredit Webb, basing its stories largely on
anonymous intelligence agency sources. As his editors backpedaled, the reporter
bailed. His 2004 death was ruled a suicide.
The story essentially
begins when Webb (Jeremy
Renner) meets a drug dealer's sexy girlfriend
(played by the unignorable Paz Vega).
She beguiles him with a low-cut dress and a copy of a secret grand-jury
transcript that mentions the dealer's CIA connections. For the accused, case
closed; for Webb, a world opens.
Soon, he's off to a
Nicaraguan prison to meet a former cocaine baron (Andy Garcia) who mentions his pal "Ollie" — Oliver North. Then to Washington, where he
meets a National Security Council member (Michael Sheen) who warns him, "some stories are too good to
tell."
Webb
doesn't believe that, and neither, with some trepidation, do his editors (Mary
Elizabeth Winstead and Oliver Platt). At home, Webb's
wife (Rosemarie Dewitt) is mostly
supportive, although also anxious. To show the spirit of his insurrection, the
reporter pounds out his government-rocking 1996 story to the beat of the Clash's "Know
Your Rights." (The film's use of music is not subtle.)
Then the counterattack
begins, and the movie makes Webb's
work seem more vulnerable than it really was. His chastened editors complain,
for example, that he didn't record his interviews, but the real-life Webb posted recordings of some
interviews online.
Sex
Tape
Sex Tape is a 2014 American comedy film directed by Jake
Kasdan and written by Kate Angelo,
Jason Segel, and Nicholas Stoller. The film stars Segel, Cameron Diaz, Rob
Corddry, Ellie Kemper, and Rob Lowe.
Jay (Jason
Segel) and Annie
(Cameron Diaz) are a couple who have
sex at every chance they can get. After having two children, they have fewer
opportunities to have sex. While the children are away one night, they try to
reignite their sex life. After Jay struggles
to get an erection, Annie suggests
making a sex tape. They film themselves having sex in every position listed in The Joy of Sex. After Annie asks Jay to delete the tape, he ends up instead inadvertently
synchronizing the video to several iPads the couple had given away over time.
After failing to get it out of the cloud, they set out to get back all of the
gifted iPads, leading to a series of awkward encounters and close calls.
After collecting the
iPads and deleting the videos, their neighbor's son threatens to upload their
sex tape to YouPorn unless they give him $25,000. After failing to get the
money, they break into the YouPorn headquarters and begin to destroy their
servers. Their plan is quickly thwarted when an alarm sounds. The owner (Jack
Black) and his cronies confront them and
threaten to call the police, but agree not to do so in exchange for $15,000 to
cover the damage. He also removes their video and explains that all they had to
do to have a video removed was send him an e-mail request for such removal.
After they have deleted all but one copy of the video, Jay and Annie decide to
watch the video once themselves. Afterwards, they take the USB flash drive
containing the video and go outside to smash it with a hammer, blend it, burn
it with fire, and bury the pieces.
