tech credits are skillfully assembled , especially colorful widescreen lensing from dp nicolas massart ( paris or perish ) that looks better than your typical gallic potboiler . a suspenseful score from jerome lemonnier ( the page turner ) takes plenty of notes from hitchcock , as does much else in the film , although there’s a reason why one is a master and the other , just an assistant .
miller , who will also perform 360 hours of community service as part of his sentence , is expected to serve around a year of jail time . he will be banned from all film - making activities that include responsibility for the safety of film - set employees for the next 10 years .
the ballad of narayama
is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens…
suggests that we’re watched not only in grocery stores , at work , and on the street , but also at home . indeed , the film is at its best when it shows exactly how permeable the home is .
much of what the film considers fodder for satire is too familiar to feel revelatory or shocking , while characters that start out believable behave in unrecognizably ludicrous ways simply because the script forces them to .
in order to pay her college tuition , a young woman turns to the adult film industry and must balance her personal life with a new life as porn star belle knox .

the midnight rider movie itself is now unlikely to ever be completed . allman , lead singer in the allman brothers band , sued miller last year in an effort to prevent the director from reviving the film . the pair later made an out - of - court settlement , the terms of which were not disclosed .
us actress carrie fisher ( r ) poses with a storm trooper as she attends the opening of the european premiere of ' star wars : the force awakens ' in central london on december 16 , 2015 . ever since 1977 , when ' star wars ' introduced the world to the force , jedi knights , darth vader , wookiees and clever droids r2 - d2 and c3po , the sci - fi saga has built a devoted global fan base that spans the generations . afp photo / leon neal / afp / leon neal ( photo credit should read leon neal / afp / getty images )
the characters , in short , act rather unbelievably , and the women in particular seem almost completely unable to help themselves . there have been some great films in the home invasion sub - genre of late that develop full ( and fully capable ) female characters : you’re next ( adam wingard , 2011 ) , intruders ( adam schindler , 2015 ) , hush ( mike flanagan , 2016 ) , to name three . particularly in the aftermath of those films , i have little patience with a return to the helpless and idiotic female stereotype .
dough rises to the occasion with sweetness , depth and delightful humor . with jonathan pryce and jerome holder giving us textured and nuanced portrayals of growing trust , and appreciation , they also demonstrate how we can successfully meet
the other
with care and compassion . dough provides us will all the ingredients as to how the simple act of being human transforms every bite we take from this morsel of life we get . while the film ' s premise offers many
highlights
the cohesive quality of the film , the honest feelings generated and the love that emerges , is not only touching , it ' s enlivening . this film is far more than an ethnic sampling , it ' s most importantly how we can move beyond our prejudice and bias and find our humanity . john goldschmidt ' s direction continually points us toward the goodness of who we are , and pryce and holder masterfully deliver the goods . this was a wonderful and uplifting film , like eating a piece of chocolate chip rugelach without any of the guilt .
miller also told the court in savannah , georgia , that he had not obtained written permission from railway operator csx because it was not his job to do so . but he said the production did have permission to use the land from its owner , paper products firm rayonier . csx later said that it had twice denied the film - makers permission to use the line .
at the beginning of the film , ayyash asks his friends why he ' d be walking around with no pants on . in the uk ,
pants
refers to what americans call
underwear .
while many americanisms and word meanings have traveled to the uk ,
pants
has not yet changed meaning to refer to trousers .
the film’s promise dissipates to some degree , then , as the creepy premise of surveillance—the intruder wandering at will in our most private spaces and moments—gives way to a focus on rather unlikeable and clichéd characters doing dumb things . the landlord , gerald , however , is neither insipid nor stupid—and viewers might certainly take pleasure in what becomes of him .
“we hope the sacrifice of our daughter’s life will continue to change the film industry , ’ jones’s father , richard jones , told reporters outside the courthouse . “i believe it sends a message , frankly , that if you do not respect those you’re in charge of , you may end up behind bars . ”
the film centers on married couple claire ( brianne moncrief ) and ryan ( p . j . mccabe ) , who have moved to accommodate ryan’s job , and who are renting a house . claire is pregnant and “nesting” while her husband goes to work every day . at first glance , their marriage seems somehow foreign ( in the early twenty - first century ) , a throwback to the breadwinning - male / domestic - female 1950s norm—the proverbial haven in a heartless world . but , in actuality , the film soon makes clear that this is unequivocally the post - millennial surveillance society . other people are always present .
warning : major spoilers for star wars : the force awakens ahead . i loved the film . seriously , i did . and yet it also has more plot holes than any film i ' ve ever seen , which makes the reviews it ' s getting pretty irksome . why can ' t we just admit that bb - 8 is adorable , finn is hilarious , rey is badass , seeing han and chewie again was awesome , the special effects were tremendous , poe is soloesque , kylo ren is intriguing , and this movie makes absolutely no sense whatsoever ?
the landlord becomes much more than a lascivious spectator toward the end of the film , which leads to one of my major complaints : three healthy young people in their late twenties , it seems , are no match for an elderly man who clearly has trouble walking for much of the film . at one point , moreover , one of those late - twenty - somethings seems utterly unable to dial 911 given what must have been a good five - minute opportunity to do so ( and that was after we were forced to accept the premise that a house in a suburban neighborhood somehow only gets cell service outside , by the pool ) .
marie - france is all smiles at first , though there are early signs she’s totally off her rocker . but even if thomas is a bit put off by his assistant’s passive - aggressive attitude , he’s willing to work with her . ( as a rule , french secretaries tend to be bossier than their bosses . ) on the other hand , the fact that he doesn’t recognize marie - france as the dead boy’s mother requires a major suspension of disbelief – as do several other aspects of ali’s well - paced if somewhat ludicrous original screenplay .
as the film goes on , though , it does lose some of its power . the scorned - mistress plot develops as you would expect , albeit in such a lackluster fashion that i found myself longing for glenn close and the lofty strains of madame butterfly . other - woman hannah ( sarah baldwin ) never really seems much of a threat .
entertaining and provocative , our brand is crisis is a satirical political drama . the story follows a political strategist who ' s recruited to help the campaign of a bolivian presidential candidate , and decides that in order to win they ' ll have to convince the people that the country is in a crisis . featuring sandra bullock , joaquim de almeida , billy bob thornton , and zoe kazan , the film has an impressive cast . and , the writing does a pretty good job at avoiding specific issues , focusing instead on political campaigning in general . however , the plot takes a strange turn at the end , suddenly becoming serious and moralistic . it ' s a little unfocused and has some storytelling issues , but our brand is crisis is still an interesting and enjoyable film .
below are 40 plot holes in the force awakens . a few are trifling , but most are pretty damning . all of them were entirely unnecessary - - given the amount of time put into this film , the number of people who worked on it , and the amount of money everyone involved in it knew it stood to make - - and in this respect can be deemed unforgivable .
in no small way , “the wait” serves as an exploration of faith . deliberately ambiguous , the film ends without ever having given a clear answer on what happened to giuseppe . messina even goes so far as to cast an actor , giovanni anzaldo , in the role for a few scenes that we can reasonably assume take place exclusively in anna’s head .
37 . if basically everyone in the galaxy knows the force is not a myth - - for instance , every single stormtrooper in the first order , who has seen kylo ren use it or heard tell of him using it ; every single person in the resistance , who knows the resistance is looking for luke skywalker ; every single person in the republic , which was first established in part by the heroism of the jedis - - how is the existence of the force a total shock to rey ? jakku is sheltered , but as we know from the film ( cf . lor san tekka ) there are many people on jakku who either have seen the force first - hand or heard first - hand accounts of it from visitors to the planet .
this a super - sorkiny aaron sorkin script—full of the kind of well - timed zingers and clever turns of phrase that never occur to us in real life . rogen gets the best line of all toward the end , one he levels at jobs in a crowded auditorium before the 1998 imac launch : “ you can be decent and gifted at the same time . it’s not binary . ” with self - conscious beauty and piercing insight , it’s a notion that defines the entire film .
enter the dorm scene ' s pseudo - managers - - the resident advisors .
not least , claire and ryan’s landlord , gerald ( brilliantly played by neville archambault ) , is not only watching them in virtually every room of their house—even in the shower , even from the depths of their toilet bowl —but he lets himself into the house with regularity whenever they’re gone , becoming , with his daily treat of illicit bacon burgers , their dog’s best friend . it turns out , moreover , that ryan is having an affair . his lover ( who is also his assistant ) also ends up penetrating their home ( coming between claire and ryan ) well before she actually walks in the door . ( apparently she has a key too . )
apart from the image of jesus hanging from the cross — which , incidentally , is the first thing we see in italian director piero messina ’s “ the wait ” — perhaps the most instantly recognizable scene in all christian art is the pietae , or the lamentation of christ , in which the virgin mary cradles her lifeless son in her arms . while not a religious film per se , messina’s profoundly dolorous debut — the sort that suits festivals just fine , but makes for depressing arthouse fare — could easily be seen as the visually gifted director’s reinterpretation of this iconic moment , casting juliette binoche ( since “blue , ” cinema’s most gifted griever ) as a mother awaiting the return ( or resurrection ? ) of her absent son .
danny boyle ’s thrilling film , which takes place behind the scenes at three key product launches during the late jobs’ career , begins with the apple co - founder freaking out minutes before introducing the macintosh in 1984 because his team couldn’t get it to say “hello . ” it was nitpicky and obsessive—qualities he was famous for—but he was also onto something , as we now know : this idea of technology serving as a constant and comforting companion .

11 . kylo ren is the head of the knights of ren , but there are no other knights of ren in the movie .
which isn’t to say the film lacks humor , and the lead performance can be playfully tongue - in - cheek until it flies off the rails – along with everything else – during a head - scratching , head - bludgeoning finale . french box office could nonetheless be uplifted by baye’s local appeal , especially among older crowds , while hollywood might want to remake this as an aarp - friendly take on reservation road .
the nevada department of education , assisted by the united states department of agriculture implement the universal program for every student , regardless of need .
director / producer john goldschmidt ' s productions have won and been nominated for many awards including : british academy award ( bafta ) , silver bear - berlin film festival , prix italia award - rai prize - music , golden nymph - monte carlo , silver nymph - monte carlo ( twice ) , cine de luca award - monte carlo , fernsehpreis der oesterreichischen volksbildung , german cinema owner ' s prize , silver hugo - chicago film festival , royal television society award , international emmy award - nomination , prix italia award - nomination for drama , cable ace award ( us ) - nomination .
16 . by the end of the movie , the impression is left that every single first order soldier is dead besides supreme leader snoke , general hux , and kylo ren . that probably won ' t turn out to be the case , but the fact that we ' re given this impression makes the climactic discovery of luke on an isolated island entirely irrelevant . after all , what need does the resistance have of luke now ? why should anyone care , at this point , if he ' s found ? because there are two bad dudes left in the entire galaxy , one of whom only shows up anywhere as a hologram ? and okay , let ' s say , for the sake of argument , that there are millions more first order soldiers elsewhere in the galaxy ; isn ' t it strange that the film gives absolutely no indication whatsoever that this is the case ?
8 . it ' s okay that poe survived a tie fighter crash ; after all , so did finn . but has any film ever cared less about ( a ) giving the false impression a character has died , and then ( b ) having that character show up later with no one being surprised by it ? even finn doesn ' t seem to care very much what the explanation is .
a mother protects her stepdaughter after the teenager witnesses the murder of her best friend , but is soon forced to come to grips with the terrifying possibility that her stepdaughter may be the real killer .
miller , who also admitted criminal trespass , yesterday accepted a plea deal which saw him sentenced to two years behind bars plus eight years of probation and a $ 20 , 000 ( £13 , 250 ) fine , according to deadline . jody savin , miller’s wife and collaborator , walked free from the court in wayne county , georgia , under the terms of the deal , despite having faced near - identical charges over the death of jones , 27 . both film - makers had initially pleaded not guilty .
basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . …
39 . why would the first order spend untold quadrillions of [ insert unit of money here ] to build the starkiller base , when a similar concept and design plan had twice before been destroyed with minimal difficulty by the rebels ? and doesn ' t the recurrence of this tactical error for the third time in the ( relatively ) brief history of the empire / first order suggest that everyone in the first order who was involved in the construction of starkiller base , at every level of management and authority , should be instantly shot in the head ? ( of course , it ' s too late for that by the end of the film , but still . ) how positively brain - dead is snoke to have learned literally nothing from history ? and for those who say that clearly a solar - powered death star is way better than a non - solar - powered death star , well , clearly not !
despite the earnest efforts put in by the oscar - winning leads , our brand is crisis doesn ' t give you enough to make you want to care for the characters , let alone the story .
craig’s fourth outing as the british spy opens in the uk on 23 october and worldwide two weeks later .
after a fire breaks out in the dorm , olivia and her team are put on trial by the administration .
10 . for that matter , why is it made to seem like the entire republic is centered in just one star system ? let alone one whose planets and moons are all visible to one another with the naked eye ? isn ' t the republic intergalactic ? and why did the first order choose to destroy all the planets and moons visible from maz kanata ' s home - world , but then initiate a conventional invasion of the latter planet ? why not just fire one more planet - killing beam and destroy kanata ' s planet too ? because not doing that leads to a significant military defeat for the first order that was totally avoidable . and another thing : if the republic is in power , why is the resistance the
resistance
? what are they resisting ? isn ' t the first order the
resistance ,
as they ' re resisting the hegemony of the republic ? it ' s like someone on - set said
the rebels need a new name ,
without realizing that the political situation in the galaxy had totally changed since the events of the previous films .
through it all is kate winslet as joanna hoffman , jobs’ calm yet forceful right - hand woman and a much - needed voice of reason . winslet gets a couple of great speeches , which she delivers with convincing power , totally unsurprisingly . her exchanges with fassbender are the film’s high points and almost a high - wire act ; it’s a tricky thing making such dense dialogue sound effortless , but both actors pull it off .
in the 3rd act , the funeral for sam newman is a fairhill , where none of the mourners or the staff are wearing kippot , a must for a jewish funeral . and since a jewish funeral would never be held on shabbat ( sabbath ) , fiona shouldn ' t be referring to the post - service meal as a
shiva
, which is the first seven days of the jewish mourning ritual .
a woman who was raped by a netcar driver takes a job with the company to exact her revenge on her attacker after she becomes frustrated with the slow pace of the criminal justice system .
but the cameras here aren’t capturing other - wordly entities but very worldly ones . in fact , in some ways , 13 cameras is more terrifying ( and certainly more disgusting ) than the paranormal films . early on in the film , as the landlord wanders round claire and ryan’s house as if he owned it ( which , actually he does ! the horrors of home rental ! ) , i actually found myself thinking i would prefer a demon occupying my house to a very seedy and apparently very ill - smelling man licking my toothbrush and rubbing it loving around the inside of his mouth . when claire goes to brush her teeth later that night , she can’t use it because it smells so bad—a truly stomach - churning sequence of events ! at that moment , toby didn’t seem so bad .
1 . to blow up the 120 - km
death star
in star wars , the rebels needed detailed plans for the base and a full - scale invasion force - - as well as the supernatural targeting skills of the most powerful force - user in the galaxy . to destroy the exponentially larger and better - protected
starkiller base
in the force awakens , all that was needed was a janitor with no special skills , a few run - of - the - mill handheld explosives , a couple not very difficult x - wing blaster strikes , and some moxie . it also helped that the millennium falcon was able to
fly low .

benefiting enormously from its evocative sicilian setting , this widescreen experience makes bewitching use of space , time and sound , creating an almost meditative atmosphere in which patient - minded auds might respond to its themes . some scenes feel somewhat disembodied , such as jeanne’s arrival via a winding volcanic road , set either to the xx’s “missing” ( a recurring theme song ) or equivalently melancholy electronic tracks . others , such as the one in which anna first re - enters her son’s room or jeanne sits before an enormous stained - glass window , privilege the actors’ mental state , taking place in haunting near - silence , like something out of an eerie ghost story — which the film also happens to be .

the energy is relentless and the actors all more than meet the challenge of not only keeping up with sorkin’s trademark , rat - a - tat patter but also making it sing . but because the movie takes place almost entirely within interiors , the non - stop walking - and - talking—back and forth through hallways , up and down stairways and in and out of doorways—almost plays like a parody of sorkin’s style , the kind of thing we saw when “the west wing” was at its peak .
the sölden shoot featured last week in the first official shots and footage of spectre to be released . craig was shown firing a pistol in a short video , with seydoux wrapped in regulation bond girl furs and a number of snowmobiles also seen on set . associate producer gregg wilson promised that austria would be the site of “one of the major action sequences of the movie , a jewel in the crown so to speak” .
thanks to boyle’s typically kinetic direction , “steve jobs” is certainly never boring . it rarely takes a breath and is crammed with high - tech jargon , but it never feels bogged down . corridors come to life with imagery . moments from the past crosscut seamlessly and inform the present , often with overlapping dialogue . and the glare of the lights and thunder of the crowds can be so all encompassing , they make you feel like you were there , too : on the precipice of the future .
the case is the most high - profile of its kind to hit hollywood since 1982 , when american werewolf in london director john landis and four associates were charged with involuntary manslaughter over the death of actor vic morrow and two child actors following a helicopter crash on the set of television series the twilight zone . landis and his co - workers faced trial in 1986 and 1987 , but were acquitted on all charges . however , the families of the deceased are believed to have collected millions of dollars in civil lawsuits .
the 28 - year - old musgrove was found drowned in bora bora by local authorities on the beach near the four seasons hotel where she was vacationing with silver , his family and employees . musgrove’s friends had started searching for her after attempts to reach her the night before were unsuccessful . she was found in the early morning hours in a lagoon near her hotel room .
projects like this , which take place almost entirely in one location ( anna’s villa ) , are often criticized for being overly theatrical , and coincidentally enough , messina was partly inspired by the play “the life i gave you” by luigi pirandello ( the nobel winner who wrote “six characters in search of an author” ) , in which a mother refuses to accept her son’s death . still , although “the wait” focuses on the psychological dance between giuseppe’s mother and lover , the director has approached the potentially stagy material in almost strictly cinematic terms .
miller and his team were aware that the rail track was in use , but the director said during a related civil case in may 2014 that he had been told only two trains came through a day . in fact , the line is one of the busiest freight routes in wayne county . crew members had been told they would have 60 seconds to get off the track if a train did come through , but that proved not to be the case .

terry madden , a 007 series regular who has worked on every daniel craig bond movie since 2006’s casino royale , was hurt when a camera truck veered off a road and crashed into a barn during a shoot in the alpine ski resort of sölden . the accident is the second to hit production of spectre , the 24th bond movie , following craig’s knee injury during a fight scene at pinewood studios in london last week . the latter incident reportedly caused a brief suspension of production , but the british actor was expected to be back on set by the weekend just gone .
he insisted on micromanaging the tiniest details of his presentations—making sure the console was a perfect black cube , down to the millimeter , at the 1988 launch of his failed company , next , or cajoling underlings to ignore fire code by shutting off the exit signs in the theater in hopes of achieving a dramatic darkness for his unveilings . but he couldn’t control who was going to come at him in the moments before he took the stage , or what they would say , or what they would want , or how they would dare to invade his formidable brain to wreak havoc when all he wanted to do was maintain his carefully crafted façade of zen cool .

it’s also easy to compare sorkin’s portrayal of jobs in “steve jobs” to his portrayal of mark zuckerberg in “ the social network , ” which earned him the adapted - screenplay oscar in 2011 . both men are visionary geniuses who revolutionized the way people connect with each other , even though they are more than a little socially challenged when it comes to the people in their own lives . the irony may be too rich , but it’s delicious—even though the men in question can be so vicious that their actions leave a bad taste in your mouth .

after the untimely death of her grandmother , an estranged young woman returns to their home to slowly discover the friendly , handsome man caring for her grandfather isn ' t what he seems to be .
our brand is crisis hits a lot of clunky notes and the end is unforgivably cornball , but it ' s still one of the liveliest political black comedies i ' ve seen in a while .
3 . kylo ren , a powerful force - user , fights a light saber duel with an ex - janitor who has never held a light saber and yet ( a ) never uses the force on his opponent , though doing so would have ended the duel immediately , and ( b ) barely wins the fight , suggesting that he is simultaneously one of the least strategic wielders of the force the dark side has ever seen and , despite his training , absolutely terrible with a light saber . none of this stops kylo ren from designing and building his own , completely impractical cross - barred lightsaber .
4 . rey becomes nearly as effective a force - user in a few hours as luke skywalker did in a few years . 5 . just minutes before starkiller base explodes , supreme leader snoke tells hux to go get kylo ren and take him off the planet . unfortunately , ren had recently ( unbeknownst to hux ) run into the woods like a lunatic , leaving no information about his whereabouts . it ' s no problem , though , because hux apparently has special kylo ren gps and ( one assumes ) goes right to the spot in the middle of the forest where ren is bleeding to death ; otherwise , ren would have died on the planet along with everybody else from the first order .
lakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you director boots riley discuss the stress of filming sex scenes .
the movie is funny enough to get its share of laughs but , in its angry heart , it ' s a tragedy - and the saddest part is that too much of this story is true .
23 . why do rey and finn just stand by watching as ren murders han ? they didn ' t know ren was han ' s son , so the drama on the catwalk must have looked absolutely bizarre to them . why didn ' t they think to fire even a single blaster shot down at ren ( given that he was just standing there on the catwalk ) until - - from their vantage - point , with the knowledge they had at the time , entirely predictably - - ren killed han ?
14 . finn is an ex - janitor who goes awol from a stormtrooper force numbering in the tens of thousands . yet he is absolutely convinced , despite being someone of no importance whatsoever to the first order , that he will be chased across the galaxy for having defected . apparently , there ' s a premium on janitors in this quadrant of the galaxy . sure , finn killed some people during his escape , but doesn ' t the first order emphasize with every tactical decision it makes that it considers its soldiers thoroughly expendable , and don ' t they quite obviously have much bigger fish to fry during the events of the force awakens than to worry about finn ? why wouldn ' t this be obvious to him ?
as he is driving his wife to the maternity ward , thomas runs over and kills a young man on the road . marie - france , the mother , will not get over the mourning of her lost son . nine years have passed . marie - france has become thomas ' secretary and dangerously starts to interfere into his life , with one idea in mind : to get closer to his son . . .
in its vision of a home that is far from a safe and impermeable haven , 13 cameras not only suggests the home invasion horror sub - genre but also supernatural films like the paranormal activity franchise . indeed , repeated shots of ryan and claire’s pool with what looks like some sort of cleaning device seem explicitly to reference paranormal activity 2 , with its numerous security cameras positioned around the house , including one overlooking the pool .
2 . the wily han solo loses track of his most prized possession , the millennium falcon , for more than a dozen years . he has no idea where it is - - in the entire galaxy . when you lose something in your house , that ' s bad ; when you lose something on your planet , you kiss it goodbye but pray for a miracle ; when you lose something in the entire galaxy , you just get on with your life . and yet , less than a minute after rey begins piloting the millennium falcon , han looks out the window of his freighter and says ,
oh , there it is .
production on midnight rider , a biopic of southern rocker gregg allman , was shut down in the wake of the accident on an active railroad trestle bridge high over the altamaha river in wayne county , georgia . jones died when a train hit a metal frame bed that had been placed on the track as part of a dream sequence featuring william hurt as allman on the first day of filming . hurt and miller were among cast and crew members who escaped unharmed , but jones was knocked beneath the vehicle . her death has galvanised safety campaigners in hollywood , with a number of initiatives since introduced to improve conditions and encourage whistleblowers to report rogue operators .
6 . the reason ren was slowly bleeding to death - - instead of being dead by rey ' s hand - - is that a massive a chasm had just miraculously opened up in the several feet between the two of them . such bad timing for rey ! ( damn you , deus - ex - geology ! )
he later told the los angeles times : “we were never seeking revenge . we were always seeking accountability . ”

15 . let ' s be clear : han ' s son joins the first order , and luke ' s attempts to train new jedis goes horribly wrong , and both men respond to these setbacks by , well , abandoning the resistance to be utterly slaughtered by the first order . luke chills on an island , and han on a smuggler ' s freighter , while untold thousands or millions of innocents are killed by the order . can we even comprehend how pissed leia would be at both of them , and how cowardly leia ( at least the leia we see in the first three films ) would consider them both ? and yet she seems only mildly peeved at luke , and , despite han implying otherwise , is almost entirely happy to see him when he turns up at the resistance stronghold .
having said that , if you don’t know a whole lot about steve jobs going into “steve jobs , ” “steve jobs” isn’t about to go out of its way to help you . if you don’t know about the garage in los altos , ca where it all began , or his lengthy and tangled friendship with wozniak , the potential for exploring the complexities of jobs’ personality might be lost on you . an excellent companion piece would be alex gibney ’s recent documentary , “ steve jobs : the man in the machine , ” which covers much of the same ground , but more thoroughly . ( you’re welcome to ignore the 2013 biopic “ jobs ” starring ashton kutcher , if you haven’t already . but it is rather telling that jobs’ life has inspired three separate features in just a couple of years . )
eventually , marie - france manages to make friends with thomas’s son , leo ( jean - stan du pac ) , as well as with his widowed father , eric ( johan leysen ) . soon enough , the latter falls in love with the icy and seductive woman , who offers him another stab at love during his golden years – “stab” being the key word here , since it doesn’t take marie - france long to try and take out the entire family .
i was excited to see the appearance of this show on hulu . i immediately thought of shows like undeclared and the national lampoon ' s college movies . i watched all of it within a couple of days and it got a bit better with time . at first i didn ' t think it was all that funny and there were only a few laugh out loud moments . but i like the main cast , including the newcomers enough to hope for a second season . the writing wasn ' t very original but it still kept my attention . 7 episodes seemed like enough and if you watch all of them the back story from previous episodes pays off in the final episode . to micah the one star reviewer : it sounds like you were expecting a documentary from a fictional comedy show . i got quite a laugh and felt a bit bad at the same time . seeing that you watch a comedy series about resident advisors and expect it to be strictly by the book made me wonder what else you may have given poor reviews based on lack of authenticity . of course they weren ' t writing this with a true story in mind . it wouldn ' t have been funny in the slightest . at first i thought you were joking until i continued reading . do all fictional comedies enrage you ? especially the ones about college ? i sure hope not because that seems really sad .

one of the breakout stars of melanie laurent’s “breathe , ” de laage hasn’t mastered binoche’s incredible gift for minimalism — that unique ability to convey virtually any emotion ( in this case , profound suffering ) through something so simple as a far - off stare or subtle twitch of the cheek . still , de laage’s more outwardly physical acting technique is hardly a liability , as the enigmatic - looking young thesp ( who belongs more to the lea seydoux school of naturally pouty beauties ) brings something different to the dynamic , which , after all , hinges on how these two very different women react to giuseppe’s absence .
the suit alleges that silver’s chef martin herold provided musgrove with cocaine , and “the silver defendants , themselves or through their agents , committed wrongful acts by furnishing carmel with excessive amounts of alcohol , furnishing her with cocaine , creating excessive fatigue by requiring performance of work functions during the silver’s [ sic ] family vacation” which included her suffering heat stroke during a fishing trip .

on the surface a lighthearted , even sitcom styled , look at political campaigning . but that most of the levity is based on truth adds a sad insight into our world at large that makes for unusually important filmmaking . the effort tries to bravely smile at that unbearable sadness but cannot . like cassandra of old here is truth that no one will listen to . bullock and thornton play two sides of the same coin well enough to lean this nearly into a romance , but what a sick romance it is .
sorkin’s script is bold in choosing these pivotal moments in jobs’ career and structuring them as a three - act play . certainly it’s far preferable to the standard , superficial , cradle - to - the - grave biopic that tries to encompass too much . it’s easy to imagine “steve jobs” as a stage production , actually , for its theatrical talkiness and the minimalism of its set design .
so yes , steve jobs has changed my life just as he’s changed many millions of others’ on the planet . the devices he devised do what he hoped they would do : they make our lives easier . they are aesthetically appealing . they are our friends .
released to middling reviews in france , this second feature from the team behind 2005 ' s camping sauvage is a more polished and watchable effort , even if it will inadvertently draw laughs from its more preposterous setups – such as the numerous times the evil old lady spikes other people’s drinks , doing them in as they sip cups of herbal tea , shots of nespresso or a finely aged cote du rhone .

though “the wait” is essentially a two - hander , other minor characters appear , most notably a longtime family servant ( giorgio colangeli ) who dutifully keeps his mouth shut , but can hardly bear to see jeanne suffer . though he never explains the situation outright , his facial expressions give audiences all the indication they need to interpret what’s really going on — though messina is almost maddeningly vague at times . just how dense is jeanne , after all , that she doesn’t pick up on the clues ? or might she be ignoring them on purpose ?

an old jewish baker struggles to keep his business afloat until his young muslim apprentice drops cannabis in the dough and sends sales sky high .
and so they wait . jeanne , who has flown from paris to sicily because giuseppe asked , allows her guilt to get the better of her , choosing to imagine that her lover is avoiding her , which could have something to do with an unspecified disagreement the previous summer ( likely infidelity ) . anna plays along . pretending as if she’s in contact with giuseppe , she tells jeanne that he’s promised to return in time for easter — which supplies not only a vibrant sicilian parade , but also a significant christian symbol , being the day of the son’s resurrection .

what , then , was the better way to sell gay marriage ? the first step was to stop calling it gay marriage or
same - sex marriage ,
which put it in its own category . in the same way clever republican pollsters once rebranded the estate tax the

gay - marriage proponents started talking , simply , about marriage . ( this has produced some confusing situations , as both sides of the gay - marriage debate now call themselves
pro - marriage .
in maine , for example , the group in favor of gay marriage on this year ' s ballot was called mainers united for marriage , while the anti - gay - marriage group was protect marriage maine . ) to liberal audiences , the new preferred term is
marriage equality
; to conservatives , it ' s
freedom to marry .

what changes the gay - marriage campaigners did detect in their opponents ' strategy were minor . rather than aim primarily at middle - class parents , schubert ' s anti - gay - marriage commercials seemed to be placing more emphasis on blue - collar white men , tapping into their economic anxieties by playing up ( largely bogus ) stories about gay marriage ' s supposed economic consequences . in several states , for instance , his ads featured an innkeeper in vermont who was sued after refusing to host a lesbian wedding . ( gay - marriage advocates said the lawsuit stemmed from the state ' s anti - discrimination law and had nothing to do with the legal status of marriage . ) the same - sex marriage proponents responded by including more blue - collar messengers in their ads .
instead , the group is focused on the upcoming supreme court cases on the defense of marriage act and proposition 8 . it is lobbying congress to repeal the defense of marriage act , and considering legislative campaigns in delaware , hawaii , illinois , new jersey , rhode island - - and , now that voters there have declined to ban gay marriage , minnesota .

canvassers used scripts developed by behavioral scientists to draw out wavering voters on the meaning of marriage and faith in their lives .
on november 6 , four states - - maine , washington , maryland , and minnesota - - took the side of gay marriage in ballot referenda . the improbable sweep for an issue that spent decades as an across - the - board political loser has already changed the landscape for gay rights in america - - and could provide a new framework for other causes : the leaders of other social movements , such as the campaign for gun control , are already studying the methods behind the gay - marriage campaigners ' victory .
in survey after survey , researchers would ask people what marriage meant to them - - not gay marriage , but the concept of marriage itself . and the answers were always the same : marriage meant love and commitment . even people who ' d been divorced three times would say the same thing . then the researchers would ask ,
why do you think gay people want to get married ?
and the answers would change : they want rights and benefits . they ' re trying to make a political point . they don ' t understand what marriage is really about . most commonly , respondents said they simply didn ' t know .
in maine , canvassers learned to begin each of these conversations with two precisely scripted , research - based questions . they first asked voters how they felt about marriage for same - sex couples . what came next was a question the campaigners called the
marriage three way .
with voters who said they were supportive of same - sex marriage , the canvasser drilled down , asking if they supported marriage or merely some other form of recognition , such as civil unions , for same - sex couples . it might have seemed superfluous to press voters who ' d already said they were supporters , but the research had shown that some people who claimed to be in favor of same - sex marriage still preferred civil unions .
these voters ,
an internal training document for canvassers explained ,
are susceptible to the opposition ' s messages .
mediterranean geopolitics aside , there ' s a lot more light than shade in grounds for marriage . kavallaris offsets the tragic aspect of penelope ' s story with romantic subplots and a supporting cast of quirky sit - com types : flamingly camp assistant harry ( michael kotsohilis ) , daffy receptionist may ( monica sayers ) , a bitchy bridezilla on the rampage ( natalie alexopoulos ) and two greek matchmakers ( tula tzoras and nicholas kokinidis ) who have fallen for each other late in life .
the campaign for gay marriage faced its own unique challenge in maryland : race . in campaigns past , reliably democratic african - american voters had often broken with their liberal brethren when it came to same - sex marriage , a discrepancy usually attributed to the influence of black churches . it was also part of a deliberate strategy by gay - marriage opponents . in an internal memo unearthed in march as part of a court case , the national organization for marriage outlined a strategy
to drive a wedge between gays and blacks .
this fissure was particularly ugly in california , where , in the aftermath of the prop 8 vote , many gay activists and white liberals blamed african - american voters for their side ' s defeat .

with the wedding guests making their way home - no doubt nursing several sore heads - it looks like workmen have started to take apart the £100 , 000 marquee that housed the reception in the grounds of the middleton family home .
as the campaigns entered their final stretch in late october , the marriage campaigners waited for new opposition tactics they ' d have to scramble to respond to - - and waited , and waited . but almost everything went almost exactly according to the same playbook that schubert , who had been retained by the national organization for marriage to manage all four state ballot campaigns , had laid out back in 2009 .

after law school , wolfson worked first as a prosecutor in the brooklyn district attorney ' s office , then for the independent counsel investigating the iran - contra affair . meanwhile , on legal pads late into the night , he wrote pro bono briefs for the lambda legal fund , which litigates on behalf of gay rights . he worked on discrimination cases involving aids patients and helped sue the boy scouts on behalf of gay youths . eventually , he went to work for lambda full time . all the while , he kept thinking about , and arguing for , marriage . wolfson was co - counsel on the hawaii supreme court case that , in 1993 , became the first - ever victory for same - sex marriage in an american court . but the ruling merely spurred voters and the state legislature to quickly find new ways to outlaw gay marriage in hawaii - - the first of the voter - approved anti - gay - marriage state constitutional amendments .
in each of the four states where gay marriage was on the ballot , constructing broad coalitions and showcasing them would be crucial . the idea was to show voters that supporters of gay marriage could be churchgoers , or minorities , or even republicans . in the washington state campaign , for example , republican state legislators starred in some ads that emphasized a libertarian message .
no . not in georgia anyway . as georgia divorce attorneys we have often found that it is a common misnomer that failure to consummate a marriage is grounds for an annulment . although this may be true in some states , just as laws concerning other areas of the law vary from state to state , divorce and other domestic relations laws often vary from state to state too . in fact , it is very common for divorce laws to vary widely between states . this is why it is imperative for those considering divorce in georgia to consult an attorney who is familiar with the specific requirements and distinctions in georgia divorce law .

when wolfson founded freedom to marry in 2003 , gay marriage was not yet legal in any u . s . jurisdiction . for years , it was a small - budget nonprofit that chiefly served as a platform for his own speeches and advocacy . but after the electoral defeats in california in 2008 and maine in 2009 , he realized the group needed to be something more . part of the reason gay marriage kept losing , he saw , was that it was constantly on the defensive . gay - marriage opponents , often backed by the republican party and catholic and evangelical churches , would methodically mobilize activists , collect signatures , and put gay - marriage bans on the ballot ; state - level activists who supported gay marriage would then have a few months to assemble an ad - hoc defense , scrambling to raise money and come up with a message in an effort that was inevitably too little , too late . the gay - rights movement had a variety of national groups devoted to causes like workplace rights and gays in the military , but there wasn ' t a single , national organization campaigning only for same - sex marriage .
a short , round , bald , slightly nebbishy presence , wolfson , ironically enough , resembles more than anything a new york divorce attorney . ironically , because marriage has been the consuming obsession of wolfson ' s life and career . nearly three decades ago , for his final paper at harvard law school in 1983 , wolfson wrote about same - sex marriage , a topic his professors regarded as exotic to the point of eccentricity . ( the idea of marriage for gays and lesbians wasn ' t totally new - - three gay - marriage lawsuits had been filed in american courts by 1971 , two years after the stonewall riots - - but they ' d been essentially laughed out of court , and few in legal circles saw reason to revisit the issue . )

but prior to november , gay marriage had been placed on 31 state ballots - - and voted down 31 times . even in blue states like california ( 2008 ) and maine ( 2009 ) , defeat was universal . to opponents of gay marriage , that perfect record had become a powerful talking point - - proof that american voters stood firmly against any redefinition of the fundamental societal institution .

the opposition also seemed to be trying very hard to provoke confrontation . anti - gay - marriage demonstrators with large signs went to the gayest neighborhoods in seattle , apparently trying to draw some kind of response . on october 14 , a gay - marriage supporter tore a sign off a woman ' s car , yelled at her , and shoved a bystander . the man was arrested ; the gay - marriage campaign strongly condemned the attack ; the opponents sought to play it up as proof they were being persecuted . as a tactic , the move seemed to the gay - marriage advocates to signal desperation and a lack of financial resources .

schubert and his allies were outspent several times over - - in the final tally across all four states , the pro - gay - marriage campaigns spent nearly $ 42 million versus about $ 11 million on schubert ' s side . to schubert , the lopsided finances showed that his losses had more to do with money than public sentiment . but to gay - marriage backers , they were proof of the draining enthusiasm for banning gay marriage .
they are running out of money to fight this ,

to wolfson , the fight for marriage was about making gays full participants in american life and fully human in the eyes of their fellow citizens .
this was something that would transform non - gay people ' s understanding of who gay people are ,
he told me .
it would help people understand gay people as fully rounded human beings , with the hopes and dreams and human aspirations we all have .
other gay - rights struggles were mainly about convincing people to overlook sexual orientation , in employment or medical care or military service . marriage is about what makes gay people who they are : their relationships with others of the same sex . in ratifying marriage for gays and lesbians , society would be ratifying the core of their identity - - their love for one another .

i worked on the marriage campaign in oregon in 2004 , and we had ads with a judge in a law library , talking about rights , saying it was wrong to deny people these rights ,
zepatos said .
that was considered one of the most effective campaigns [ for gay marriage ] in the country .
yet it failed , like all the others , and in a sudden , breathtaking epiphany , zepatos saw why . the advocates of gay marriage had successfully convinced people that gay marriage was something different from regular marriage . it was presented to the public as a technicality - - a matter of hospital visitations and burial plots . such technicalities were important to activists , especially in the wake of the aids crisis , when they ' d had real and devastating consequences . but it was no wonder fair - minded , tolerant straight people couldn ' t see that gay people wanted to get married because they loved and wanted to commit to one another .

in maryland , blacks made up 28 percent of the electorate , the fourth - largest proportion of any state and the highest outside the deep south . but obama ' s repositioning on gay marriage , which was soon followed by a full - throated endorsement from the naacp , sparked a dramatic shift of opinion in the black community . polls showed support for same - sex marriage among black voters moving as much as 10 points virtually overnight , from the low - to mid - 30s to the mid - 40s . the same - sex marriage campaigners moved quickly to capitalize on this change with an aggressive effort of african - american outreach , especially in churches .

in the days before the election , prop 8 ' s opponents tried to change the subject to civil rights . democratic senator dianne feinstein narrated an ad calling on voters to oppose discrimination and protect gay marriage . in another , samuel l . jackson compared outlawing gay marriage to the internment of japanese americans in world war ii .
we decided to not respond to this line of attack , confident that it would backfire ,
schubert wrote in his article .
the basic message that supporters of traditional marriage are bigots , guilty of discrimination , had never worked in focus groups . for liberal whites like feinstein to lecture black californians about discrimination was not a winning message .
the washington fight was the second ballot measure to come on the map for 2012 . minnesota ' s legislature , newly stocked with conservative lawmakers after the 2010 wave of republican wins , had already moved to put an amendment to ban gay marriage on the ballot . then , just as washington was gearing up to pass its bill , gay activists in maine submitted signatures seeking their own ballot initiative - - the first time proponents , rather than opponents , of gay marriage would be the ones to put the issue to a vote . maine ' s legislature had passed a same - sex marriage law in 2009 , only to have voters overturn it that november . the proponents wanted to try again .

on the surface , the situation in the fourth state , maryland , mirrored what happened in washington : the democratic legislature and governor passed a bill legalizing gay marriage , which opponents then sought to overturn with a ballot initiative . but behind the scenes , there were complications that made officials at freedom to marry leery of engaging in a campaign there . the state ' s main gay - rights group , equality maryland , had nearly been forced to close in 2011 amid accusations of financial mismanagement on the part of the executive director . early polling put public support for same - sex marriage in only the mid - 40s , versus majority support in washington and maine . governor martin o ' malley was strongly behind a gay - marriage bill in the legislature , but there seemed to be no plan for the referendum that would almost certainly follow .

people who generally oppose marriage but support civil unions are very persuadable to support marriage with the right kind of conversation .
the latter were considered not persuadable , and the canvassers would thank them and move on .
but i’m glad i took the plunge . this is a fresh approach to the hp teenage pregnancy trope . in hps teenage pregnancies usually end up as secret pregnancies . and a forced marriage and blah blah .
the fact that any person was born during the continuance of a valid marriage between his mother and any man , or within two hundred and eighty days after its dissolution , the mother remaining unmarried , shall be conclusive proof that he is the legitimate son of that man , unless it can be shown that the parties to the marriage had no access to each other at any time when he could have been begotten .
minnesota , on the other hand , was the heartland , a midwestern state famous for its buttoned - up , polite ,

culture . an extrovert in minnesota , the joke runs , is a lutheran who looks at someone else ' s shoes . outside of the twin cities , gay marriage wasn ' t something people talked about ; many older people were reluctant even to say the word
gay .
in order to convince these prospective voters , gay - marriage campaigners would have to engage them in long , difficult conversations about politics , sex , and religion . and even if they won , gay marriage would still be illegal in minnesota - - it just wouldn ' t be banned by the state constitution .
a whole host of rumoured security measures were implemented to keep the special day totally private including an alleged no - fly zone over the area between friday and sunday , dated wristbands being issued to locals allowed inside the church grounds , guests having to send passport photos in advance , and being issued with special passwords to gain entry to the reception .

committed , long - term gay couples doing the same things that married couples do ,
in the words of a november 2011 freedom to marry research memo - -
mowing the lawn , helping an elderly neighbor , and talking about their hopes and dreams .
gay people needed to talk about marriage more : many assumed their friends , colleagues , and relatives accepted them as deserving of marriage the same way they accepted them as people , when in fact , the same friends often figured that since their gay friends never talked about marriage , it must not be important to them .
for gay - marriage proponents , the defeat was a stunning one . they ' d had as much money as their opponents and the most favorable conditions imaginable , yet they ' d lost decisively . recriminations flew ; some despaired ; others wanted to start campaigning again right away and put the issue back on the ballot in 2010 .

as one official put it .

i ' m disappointed at the outcome , but not defeated . i don ' t think the cause is defeated . we ' ll rally and continue to fight ,

fielding an army of paid canvassers to do this kind of work in time for it to matter would be expensive . the gay - marriage advocates ' intensive , bipartisan fundraising effort netted $ 250 , 000 from new york mayor michael bloomberg , $ 500 , 000 from the bill and melinda gates foundation , a surprise windfall of $ 2 . 5 million from the seattle - based amazon ceo , jeff bezos , and more than $ 1 million from paul singer , the conservative hedge - fund billionaire who was also one of mitt romney ' s top bundlers in the 2012 presidential election . tim gill , a denver - based technology magnate who runs the nation ' s largest network of gay donors , gave and helped steer millions in donations to the marriage effort . meanwhile , after suffering a wave of negative publicity for their involvement in funding prop 8 , mormons appeared to steer clear of this year ' s gay - marriage fights , depriving the opposition of a previously rich source of funds .

the canvassers were amazed at how little it sometimes took to get people to open up in these chats . in one real , videotaped interaction , a maine voter initially seems standoffish , telling the worker on her doorstep that her religion forbids gay marriage . but she ' s soon talking at length about her lesbian niece and gay coworkers , and by the end of the conversation she says she ' s more

now than when she voted against same - sex marriage in 2009 .
biden ' s accidental statement may have spurred the president to action , but a pressure campaign on obama had been quietly gaining steam for months . earlier in the year , wolfson ' s group had led the charge to get gay marriage included in the platform to be presented at the democratic party ' s convention , a move that was controversial on the left but quickly gained momentum .

with gay - rights activists eager to brand prop 8 proponents as bigots , schubert felt it was important to demonstrate they were not against gay individuals or relationships per se .
passing proposition 8 would depend on our ability to convince voters that same - sex marriage had broader implications for californians and was not only about the two individuals involved in a committed gay relationship ,
