All Rise...
Judge Jim Thomas has left several incriminating clues in this review. Pray that you find them.
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Sleuth (published March 7th, 2002) and Sleuth (Blu-Ray) (published March 11th, 2008) are also available.
The Charge
Obey the Rules.
Opening Statement
In 2007, Kenneth Branagh directed Michael Caine and Jude Law in a remake of the 1972 classic Sleuth. Apart from the stellar cast, the movie had two additional hooks: Caine, who had played Milo Tindle in the original, would this time play Andrew Wyke, the part played by Laurence Olivier. Secondly, the script was by playwright Harold Pinter (The French Lieutenant's Woman), who had recently won the Nobel Prize for literature. Despite the obscene amount of raw talent, Sleuth fared poorly both at the box office and with the critics. It's easy to see why; this is not an easy movie to sink your teeth into, particularly if you (as I do) have fond memories of the original film. But now is the time to set the past aside and determine if the movie's clues add up.
Facts of the Case
Milo Tindle (Jude Law, Alfie (2004)) has arrived at the home of best-selling author Andrew Wyke (Michael Caine, Batman Begins). Milo has been having an affair with Andrew's wife, and has come to convince Andrew to grant his wife a divorce. Andrew comments that Milo, a struggling actor, won't be able to keep his wife in the grand style to which she has become accustomed, and so he presents a second option: Milo will break into Andrew's house and steal £1,000,000 in jewels. Milo will have the money he needs, while Andrew will be free of his wife and will collect the insurance on the stolen jewels. Milo is apprehensive, but Andrew assures him that if Milo will just obey the rules of the game, everything will turn out just fine.
What Milo doesn't realize is that Andrew is playing a different game. In the middle of the "robbery," Andrew explains things: Andrew intends to kill Milo, telling the police that he caught Milo breaking into his house and killed him in self-defense. Shots are fired, and Milo's body slumps to the ground.
Three days later, a detective appears on Andrew's doorstep, inquiring about the whereabouts of Milo. The detective turns up clues that contradict Andrew's story. Can Andrew talk his way clear, or will he find himself caught up in an altogether different game?
The Evidence
(I have done my best to present this review to avoid giving away several major plot points; however, there may be enough details for a reader to put the pieces together on your own. Caveat lector.)
I'm not that familiar with Pinter's work. That point is up front because from everything I can determine 1. Pinter is something of an acquired taste, and 2. This movie appears to be quintessentially a Pinter piece. His work generally involves primal conflicts between people, people attempting to assert dominance over one another, like two wolves attempting to establish themselves as the alpha dog. Dialogue is of supreme importance in Pinter—more specifically, the ambiguity of the spoken word. Cadences, inflections, and long pauses all convey more meaning than the words themselves, making every statement, every gesture an interpretive challenge for the listener. This semantic gamesmanship is engaged from the moment Milo drives up to Andrew's house. Branagh places the camera atop the house, pointing straight down at the entranceway. Andrew's car is parked at a 45-degree angle to the house; Milo parks at an opposite 45-degree angle, creating a strikingly symmetrical shot. One problem, though: Milo's car is smaller; Andrew notes that his is bigger almost immediately, initiating what becomes the ultimate game of cockmanship.
There's just one problem. Both Andrew and Milo are complete and utter bastards. Neither is in the least bit likable, making it virtually impossible to sympathize with either. Long before he's revealed as homicidal, Andrew is shown as an egomaniacal control freak. Milo, though he seems pleasant enough at first, is quickly revealed as someone who, like Andrew, will do anything or anyone to get what he wants, so it's not as though either one has a claim to any moral high ground. The acting is first-rate—though perhaps at times Law goes a little too over the top—but after a while one suspects that the best resolution here would be for the two men to kill each other, leaving Margarite to run off with the investigating detective.
Films with unlikable leads have worked before. In this case, though, Branagh's direction, though inventive, keeps the audience at a distance. Branagh clearly spent a lot of time working out his direction for the film; because almost all of the main action occurs within the house, Branagh goes to excessive lengths to avoid repeating camera angles. To an extent, he's successful—his off-kilter shots keep us just as unsettled as the characters on screen—but that success comes at a price; too often the camerawork draws attention to itself, distracting from the action and dialogue. That initial shot looking down on the entranceway eventually turns into a pan down through the roof and into the house proper, a shot that has David Fincher's Panic Room written all over it; that's the sort of "Look at me" move that is the last thing a movie like this needs. The direction may well be the film's greatest weakness.
There's a fairly major departure from the original story in that a strong homosexual element is introduced. Most critics have commented on it, saying that they weren't sure if that element was really needed. To my mind, that's not the issue; the real issue is whether it works. The foundations for the development are laid early on, and it plays out like an organic extension of the plot, becoming yet another game: Is Andrew really attracted to Milo, or has he transformed the proceedings into a grotesque version of Truth or Dare?
Extras are pretty good. There are two separate commentaries—one with Branagh and Caine, and one with Law. The Branagh/Caine track is solid, offering a lot of information on the production, the sort of things that highlight the nuances of the film. Branagh frequently asks Caine specifics about how he approached specific scenes, or acting in general. While the commentaries help you appreciate the technical skill everyone brings to the party, they don't overcome the film's inherent problems. The Law commentary is a little drier, but still has some good stuff. Law also produced the movie, so there's a lot more in the way of background and production information. Still, would a track with all three have been so hard to do?
The making-of featurette is pretty good, particularly when it discusses Pinter; Caine offers some specific examples of how and why Pinter's dialogue works. To an extent, Pinter's dialog is akin to David Mamet's in that on the page, it looks like it can't possibly work, but it positively sings in performance.
There's also a brief piece on makeup, which plays a critical role in the film. That one piece deserved a little bit more development, possibly showing the application of the various pieces (I won't say anything else so as not to spoil some integral plot points). As it stands, it looks as though it was a last-minute idea thrown together post-haste.
Technically, the disc is solid. The complex lighting scheme comes across well, from the stark whites and blacks to the colors and shadows created by the house's lighting system. There is a notable hiccup in the film at about the 1:00 hour mark; presumably a layer change. It's more noticeable than most because it occurs at a pivotal moment in the story. Someone must have fallen asleep at the quality control switch. The 5.1 audio mix isn't really given much to do, but it does reproduce Patrick Doyle's understated yet ominous score.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
Michael Caine is freaking brilliant in this movie. There is a sublime beauty in scenes when he simply looks at the current situation. We can almost see what's going on beneath the surface—but at the last minute, we refrain, lest we see ourselves in Andrew's quietly psychotic visage. Because make no mistake—this Andrew is batshit crazy. Olivier approached Andrew as dangerously eccentric; Caine however, sees Andrew as afflicted with "morbid jealousy," a condition linked to many crimes of passion. The class snobbery that permeated Olivier's performance is abandoned, reducing the conflict to its primal essence. Milo has dared to take that which belongs to Andrew; therefore Andrew must break him (the Pinter-esque alpha dog conflict is thrown into stark relief in that light). Caine wanted to portray Andrew so that the audience, seeing how his jealousy has destroyed him, would have an almost cathartic reaction to Andrew's bile. In that regard, the character becomes very similar to a character in a play of Anthony Shaffer's twin brother Peter—the Salieri of Amadeus. However, both that play and the movie let us identify with Salieri before he begins his crusade against God; that identification is critical in achieving the cathartic effect. The commentaries mention that a few scenes were shot with Margarite, Andrew's wife, but they were discarded. I've no idea how those scenes worked (they are, sadly, not included on the disc), but they might have helped us better identify with Andrew.
One bit of business speaks volumes about Andrew: As he and Milo come into the house, Andrew walks towards some bottles, asking Milo what he would like to drink. "Scotch," Milo replies. Andrew picks up the single glass by the bottles—a glass which has already been filled with Scotch. The implication is that Andrew already knows everything there is to know about Milo; from this moment on, he's simply toying with him as a cat plays with a mouse.
Finally, a word must be said about Andrew's house. Production Designer Tim Harvey creates a massive monument to Andrew's ego—complete with a room in which an entire wall is a billboard, with a giant headshot of Andrew and a list of all of all his novels. A quote on the billboard perhaps offers a tiny hint of foreshadowing: "The Master of Menace!" The safe in Andrew's bedroom is hidden behind an aquarium; the aquarium is built like a vertical maze, so that the fish has to navigate through to get food. These things do not speak well of Andrew. In addition, the house is wired up with a sophisticated surveillance system. Cameras linked to motion detectors riddle the house, with flat panels scattered around the house displaying the feeds. Branagh uses these cameras as a means of varying the shot, showing us a scene from a display rather than directly. And there lies a problem. Why is Milo so stupid as to think that a robbery is going to be successful? Andrew may be telling the truth when he says that the skylight through which Milo will enter is a blind spot—but Milo still has to go through the rest of the house, past many, many cameras, to get to the safe. Andrew can't just turn off the cameras, as that would raise even the dimmest insurance adjustor's suspicions.
Closing Statement
Sleuth is fascinating, but I've yet to determine if it's because it's a great movie or because it could have been a great movie. Certainly it is a rich movie, with performances so nuanced that multiple viewings reveal new layers in the characters. But ultimately, this remake is somewhat…detached. The original movie had a sense of playfulness that is absent in the remake. I'm not entirely sure if that's a flaw or not, but it does make it substantially harder to become invested in the proceedings. While the court acknowledges and appreciates the consummate skill of all involved, it cannot help but wonder if this script might have been better served on stage, where the audience would not have to contend with such complicated shots, but could rather focus on the dialogue.
The film's tagline is deceptive: "Obey the Rules," a mantra spoken by Andrew on several occasions. There's a slight catch, though; you can't obey the rules if you don't know what the game is. Perhaps a better tagline would be "What games are you playing?"
The Verdict
Although Sleuth does many things well, Kenneth Branagh's direction makes the end result less than the sum of its parts. All the same, though, I can't get the damned thing out of my head. The court hereby finds the defendant guilty of making the movie more visually complicated than it needed to be, and sentences the defendant to time served.
Court is adjourned.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Sleuth (2007) a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

Jive Cape Town Funny Festival cast explores West Coast National Park
The Jive Cape Town Funny Festival comedians and organisers took to the coast on Sunday 16 June, 2013, to explore the many wonders that the West Coast National Park (WCNP) has to offer.
Departing from the New Kings Hotel in Sea Point with The Green Cab, the 90-minute journey to the park was a laugh-a-minute ride with the multi-talented cast, which includes local comedians Marc Lottering and Alan Committie, radio personality Guy McDonald, and international performers Kev Orkian and Prince Abdi.
The weather played along, providing a spectacular summery-kind-of-winter's day.
After a warm welcome by the staff of WCNP, the starting point of the tour began with homemade scones, tea and coffee at the Geelbek restaurant, housed within the old Geelbek Main House, a national monument dating back to 1744.
We spotted an ostrich that took a moment of its time to strike a pose for us. As we took in the scenery, Eddie Papier, a retired WCNP ranger, spoke to us about the park and what it was like to grow up in the area before the land was officially declared a National Park.
Hopping back into The Green Cab we headed off to explore the park, with Eddie as our guide. The park was declared in 1985 and is over 39 000ha in size. It is surrounded by spectacular landscapes, endless dunes of flora, and is home to a number of different animals. The park is, of course, most famous for the tidal Langebaan Lagoon at its centre, and for its landscapes of colour during the flower season each spring.
We stopped at Kraalbaai to get a better view of the lagoon, houseboats and flamingoes wading through the still, shallow waters. Some of the comedians took the opportunity to sneak away, to walk and play on the beach.
For lunch, we headed back to the Geelbek and sat down to enjoy a selection of red and white wines from Riebeek Cellars. Lunch was served – first with a starter of mouth-watering cheddar-infused, biltong-kissed soup; the main course was a delectable springbok pie with rice and veg; and to top it all off, a choice of either malva pudding or apple tart for dessert. The malva pudding, predictably, was the overall favourite.
An incredible day of inspiring stories, delicious food and wine, and magnificent scenery was the perfect backdrop to our West Coast day.
Book your tickets for the Jive Cape Town Funny Festival, which runs until Sunday 7 July, 2013, from a Cape Town Tourism Visitor Information Centre Computicket outlet near you.

STEUBENVILLE - Since a new Ohio River bridge between Jefferson and Brooke counties was proposed, cost has been cited as one barrier to building it.
But officials with the West Virginia Department of Transportation have found a solution to the problem they shared with members of the Brooke-Hancock-Jefferson Metropolitan Planning Commission on Wednesday.
Mike Paprocki, transportation study director for BHJ, said WVDOT plans to sell bonds for the project, using as collateral a portion of federal funds allocated to the state for transportation projects.
Perry Keller, head of programming and planning administration for WVDOT, said plans call for the department to sell bonds in two rounds, the first in 2015, to support a large portion of the estimated $125 million cost for the bridge.
Paprocki said there is some risk involved because federal funding for transportation could change in the future.
Currently about $400 million of West Virginia's $1.2 billion transportation budget comes from the federal government.
Keller said state highway officials aren't concerned about having enough federal funds to pay off the bonds but acknowledged the move will affect the amount of money left for other transportation projects.
At Keller's request, the planning commission passed a resolution in support.
BHJ Executive Director John Brown said the move demonstrates WVDOT's support for the bridge, which he said will present opportunities for economic growth and improve safety, the flow of traffic and quality of life for residents by providing another point of access between the two states.
"It's a major milestone for the project. Because it's a very expensive project, many have doubted it will occur," he said.
But WVDOT's most recent effort demonstrates "an essential piece of infrastructure for the Ohio Valley is going to be built," he said.
Brown said an environmental assessment is under way for the span, which would link the southern ends of Jefferson and Brooke counties.
WVDOT officials accepted comment in August on a proposal to build the bridge from an area of state Route 2 south of Wellsburg to Third and Cleaver streets in Brilliant. Plans call for a new interchange to be built in the Riddles Run area south of Brilliant to take drivers to state Route 7.
Wellsburg City Manager Mark Henne asked if West Virginia and Ohio will be contributing to the project.
Keller said officials from both states have been involved in the proposal's development, contributing to the costs for studies presenting the need for the span and best locations.
But he said the amount of funding for construction to be provided by each hasn't been determined yet.
Paprocki and others noted West Virginia assumed a majority of the cost for previous Ohio River bridges because the river is part of that state.

After 1 months research I basically give up on getting all URL's from a search results programmatically,
I looked at Google Search API to find a way to get millions of search results "URL's" to be specific to a text file or something relative but no success, but I am 100% there must be a way or trick of doing it.
Real Question :
Is there anyway programmatically or manually I can get 1000+ search results (URLs using search query e.g. "Apple" returns million of results on google and I want as much as possible URLs of them results in a text file)
Note :
Don't care for any specific search engine or programming language or technique or software or just point me to right direction, but yeah I tried it with google API i can't get more then 100 results at all.

Naugy turns the tables on Holy Cross in 56-20 romp
WATERBURY — Naugatuck saw the scene that unfolded last Friday night at Municipal Stadium. Six days later, the Greyhounds flipped the script on Holy Cross.
Naugy forced five turn-overs and turned four into touchdowns as the Hounds rolled to a 56-20 win over the Crusaders, who likely fell out of contention in the Naugatuck Valley Copper Division.
Two of the Greyhounds' takeaways came on their first two kickoffs of the night. Holy Cross (6-3, 4-1 Copper) fumbled the game's opening kickoff, which gave Naugatuck (8-1, 4-1) possession at the Crusaders 43. Five plays later, Tom Douty burst in for a 6-yard score and a 6-0 lead.
That sequence repeated itself on the ensuing Naugy kickoff, which the Crusaders again fumbled at their own 30. This time, Jason Bradley cashed in with a 3-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-1 to stretch the Naugy edge to 14-0 with eight minutes left in the first — all before Holy Cross had run an offensive play.
"That was terrible," Holy Cross coach Mike Giampetruzzi said. "It just wasn't a good effort. We were down 14-0 before we could blink, and you can't do that against that team."
Naugatuck's victory put Woodland back in control of the Copper Division. The Hawks can clinch the division title with wins tonight over Torrington and next week over Derby. Should Woodland lose either and Naugy beats Kennedy next week, the Greyhounds' Thanksgiving game against Ansonia would be for the NVL title.
As the Crusaders' turn-overs mounted and the Naugatuck lead grew, it bore more and more resemblance to Holy Cross' upset of Woodland last Friday when the Hawks turned over the ball four times. Cross took advantage of those miscues; the Greyhounds did the same Thursday.
"We were fortunate to get the fumbles, but we were ready," Naugatuck coach Craig Bruno said. "As soon as we got the ball, we were able to move it. We got the turnovers early but we were
See NAUGY, Page 9B
able to capitalize."
Naugatuck also won the battle of field position throughout the night. The Greyhounds started five of their seven first-half drives in Holy Cross territory and turned each of the five into touchdowns. Naugy also started three second-half series on the Crusaders' turf and two ended in paydirt.
"We gave them four short fields in the first half, and you can't chase a team like that," Giampetruzzi said. "I've always said that you have to win the turnover battle, and they did. They capitalized on every one."
Naugy took a 20-0 lead by the end of the first quarter on Bradley's second touchdown run of the night, from 5 yards out. Cross got on the board when Drew Bialoglowy, who returned after sitting out last week with an ankle injury, sprung a 23-yard touchdown run.
Then the mistakes mounted again for the Crusaders. Nate Franklin returned a kickoff 52 yards to the Cross 47, but a 15-yard penalty followed by a 5-yard foul moved Naugy up to the 27. Three plays later, Bradley threw the first of his four touchdown passes to Ryne Griesenauer for a 28-7 lead with 9:22 to play in the half.
Naugatuck forced a punt on the ensuing series, but P.J. Murphy forced another turnover when he crashed in on Kyle Broderick following a bobbled snap. After another penalty, Bradley hooked up again with Griesenauer for a 36-7 advantage.
"We're starting to click," Bruno said of his offense. "Everybody is playing on the same page."
Bradley (7-of-15, 187 yards) added a pair of touchdown passes to Bryan Coney after the break. The scores were interrupted by Holy Cross' fourth fumble, which was recovered by Bryan Burke. Bradley also ran for 72 yards and three scores, including Naugy's last touchdown to make it 56-14 late in the third.
The Crusaders turned over the ball once more when Maleek Brooks stripped Trai Weaver, whom Naugy held to one touchdown (an 8-yard pass from Joe Kalosky) a week after he scored four against Woodland.
Naugy's starting defense held Holy Cross to 240 yards and was often in the backfield.
"The big boys caused blockage and the (linebackers) just blitzed," Murphy said. "We knew Weaver and (Gerron) Pendarvis would be big threats, so we focused on them and just played good 'D.'"

4 Comments add a comment
Should we be offended that this is marketed as "the Complete Saga" when we know Episode VII is coming in 2015, or should we take it as proof that VII and any subsequent films or other media products are non-canon?
Where is the deal? This is the same price it always is. It never goes lower.
It also appears that this "deal" doesn't include the extra 3 discs of bonus material. The product description on yoyo's website says only 6 discs in the set. The reviews provided are also from Amazon's website.
@billdixie: Amazon owns YoYo.com. Probably the reason for the same reviews.

Hi there, Now I'm trying to create a Pop-OverView using an Xcode storyboard. Firstly, I have
rootViewController, UIViewController, and UITableViewController
I want the UIView to act as a page flip and the UITableView will show popOver under the navigationBar item controller.
For the UITableView, I want to make a Pop-Over under NavigationBar controller. The problem is, when I touch the Navigation item to show the UITableViewController, it shows correctly, but when I try to close the Pop-Over View, it won't close. And then, the navigation item doesn't work well. It shows multiple instances of popOverView when I touch it multiple times.
This doesn't seem to make sense to me. Can anyone help me out or tell me where to find documentation / tutorials on this?
For the UIPopOverController, it seems to work well now, but it is still bugging me when I touch a Navigation Item multiple times. It will show multiple instances of PopOver. How can I handle it, so it will show only one instance?

TEMPLE (January 18, 2013) ---A Temple war veteran injured seven years ago in Iraq says he hopes Lance Armstrong's confession that he used performance-enhancing drugs won't take away from the positive work he's done with cancer patients and survivors through the Livestrong Foundation he established.
Nieves Rodriguez was seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident in 2005 in Iraq after which doctors had to reattach his right arm and put a titanium rod in his right leg.
"When I was in the hospital I read Lance Armstrong's book and it changed my life, it was a big inspiration and I'd never been involved in cycling before my accident but I got a bike and started riding," Rodriguez said.
Doctors even told Rodriguez he might lose his arm and never walk normally again, but he proved them wrong on both counts.
Rodriguez worked with the staff at Sun Country Bicycles in Temple to made adjustments to a bike to help him ride more easily as he continued to recover from his injuries.
Today Rodriguez said he's now able to ride a normal bike, and he even rode with Armstrong in 2011 in the Livestrong Challenge in Austin.
Rodriguez said he watched the first part of Armstrong's interview with Oprah Winfrey Thursday night and was disappointed, but that didn't stop him from wearing a Livestrong T-shirt to show his support on Friday.
"I don't agree with a lot of the things he did, but he's also done so much good with Livestrong I hope that isn't forgotten," Rodriguez said.

In my
application.html.erb layout for my app, I want to have a partial that renders if it exists for the given view. for example.
If the visitor is at
http://example.com/users/show, I'd want the partial
/users/_sidebar.html.erb to render.
But if the visitor were at say,
http://example.com/user/locations/san_francisco, I'd want the partial
/users/locations/_sidebar.html.erb to render.
So the thing here is that if there were no partial for that controller/action it would render some generic partial in my shared directory, and I'd rather not litter every single view with
content_for blocks ya know?
Any ideas guys?

I asked this question Why doesn't PRIu64 work in this code? since my code which wasn't behaving as I thought it should, and I wanted to know how I should go about resolving it.
Then based on the comments, I continued debugging, and have now made progress with understanding what's going wrong. I need to now ask a new question to try fixing it. Specifically, I noticed that one of the header files is not getting included and would like to learn why.
This seems drastically different from my initial question, so should I edit the same question with my progress or create an entirely new question? What is the better alternative for the community?

KILLEEN (November 13, 2012)--The University of Phoenix Killeen Learning Center is holding a panel discussion for veterans undecided about joining the civilian workforce.
On Thursday, attendees to the event will learn what goes into a transition checklist, how to dress for the job, jobs available in the field of Information Technology as well as take part in a meet and greet with local employers to include the Travis and Williamson counties sheriff's departments, FedEx Ground and Engineering Solutions & Products, among others.
Perhaps the biggest highlight will be the panel discussion that begins at 6 p.m. featuring numerous retired veterans who have gone on to make a difference in the lives of veterans transitioning to civilian life for the first time.
Director of TexVet and creator of the National Veterans Creative Arts Festival Perry Jeffries will be part of the panel, along with President and CEO of Professional Coaching Consultants Crystal Dyer.

I can update this later with my specific notes/ingredients, but for now, just the basics...5 gallon brew of an irish stout. The morning after I put it in the fermenting bucket, I woke up to a mess. Foam had come out through the airlock and there was liquid and foam all over the lid and down the side. The amount of pressure building inside made it seem like the lock would blow off at any second (in fact when I removed it to clean, foam shot out through the hole.) I quickly found some instructions for a blow off type rig which was basically leaving the base of the airlock in the lid, attaching a tube to it, and running the tube into a gallon jug of half water/half sanitizer. The remainder of that day, it was bubbling furiously. It looked like rapidly boiling water. Since then however, I haven't really noticed any bubbling. There is pressure in the bucket still, because if I lightly push on the lid, gas will bubble through into the jug. Do I have anything to worry about here? The bucket is in a dark 65-70 degree closet. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
Absolutely nothing to worry about. A few notes:
So relax and let it roll for a week or so before you take a hydrometer reading to see how far fermentation has actually progressed. Checking the gravity is the only reliable way to know how fermentation is progressing.
