Still Alice
An asterisk (*) denotes an Indy Best Movie pick. New To Theaters Horrible Bosses 2 (R) A gross, unfunny movie that glorifies rape and relies on shock value to cover the fact that the witless script is an embarrassment. In other words, critics hate it and audiences love it. Just say no. Still Alice (PG-13) A tearjerker showcasing the considerable acting of Julianne Moore, who plays a linguistics professor feeling the beginning effects of Alzheimers. It’s a tour-de-force to be sure, and should land Moore a Best Actress nomination come Oscar time.

Now Playing The Imitation Game * (PG-13) If Benedict Cumberbatch looks familiar it’s because he’s been in, like, a zillion movies over the past few years. He stars in this one, and it is a juicy role to be sure. Cumberbatch plays Alan Turing, a mathematical genius who helped crack the German code during World War II, and went on to become a key figure in the development of the first computers. His life falls apart when he is prosecuted for being a homosexual. Keira Knightley co-stars. It’s getting Oscar buzz. A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night * (R) First time writer director Ana Lily Amirpour turns in a wildly inventive and delightful romp through all things gory in this pulp masterpiece. It’s
being billed as the first Iranian Vampire Western ever made, if that provides any clarity. It’s a treat. Foxcatcher (R) White-hot Channing Tatum gets serious as an Olympic wrestler overshadowed by his more successful brother. Steve Carell, who costars, also attempts to get serious, never a good idea. Vanessa Redgrave, who has made a career playing a stern unhappy matriarch, fits right in. Mark Ruffalo plays the older brother. It’s serious and ponderous and things get ugly and everyone is mining for Oscar gold. Directed by Bennett Miller (Moneyball). Sienna Miller co-stars. Probably doesn’t make the cut. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I (PG-13) What can we say? It’s risen to Harry Potter levels of selfimportance as a breathless world waits to see what Katniss Everdeen will do next, even though we know from reading the books. Donald Sutherland, Julianne Moore et al are back. Not quite as good as the first two installments, but it’s still essential movie going. Dumb and Dumber To (PG-13) You really can’t make such an incredibly dumb movie twice, but the lure of the almighty dollar beckons. The boys are considerably older and, if humanly possible, have gotten considerably dumber – in fact, they are imbeciles. If you find that funny, by all means go.

All Docs, All Day By Emily Toy 2014 was a year of growth. At least for those at the Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival. Now in its seventh year, the festival, which begins tomorrow morning and continues through Sunday, has made its mark in the world of documentary. It is now four days long and is a highly lauded community event, featuring screenings in both spring and fall. “We broadened our ‘Young Voices’ selections; initiated a collaboration with the School of Visual Arts MFA Social Documentary; promoted our Library Outreach program; and expanded our Industry Advisory Board to eight of the finest professionals in the world of documentary film,” according to Jacqui Lofaro, HT2FF founder, filmmaker and executive director. HT2FF is a nonprofit organization founded by filmmakers, celebrating the rich, diverse and challenging world of documentary film. The festival strives to bring the work of documentary filmmakers with a preference from New York to Montauk. The festival itself is
at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor. Fondly recognized by the community as the “art house” festival, the four-day long event will feature premieres and award-winning documentaries, shorts, features, and student submissions. The “all docs all day” mission will be completed, according to festival officials, and will be coupled with insightful and stimulating Q&A discussions. This year, according to the festival’s website, the spotlight shines on Barbara Kopple (pictured right) and her 40 plus years of Academy Award-winning filmmaking, which Lofaro deems as “courageous, bold and honest.” On Saturday at 7 PM Kopple will be celebrated at a gala with refreshments, a documentary film screening and discussion. Tickets for the gala are on sale now at the festival’s website ($40). There will also be several hosts throughout the event including award winning broadcaster and interviewer Bonnie Grice, host of the popular morning show the “Eclectic Café,” and creative writing

professor Andrew Botsford, from Stony Brook Southampton. Tickets to the festival are on sale now. A festival pass (admission to all films including the gala) is $125, film tickets are $15 each, $13 for seniors. To buy tickets and to view the full schedule of the event, visit www.ht2ff. com, or email info@ht2ff.com.
“For seven years, HT2FF’s mission continues to champion the rich, diverse and challenging world of documentary,” Lofaro said. “We bring you unique stories on film, some long, other short and some you’ll never see anywhere but at our festival. We hope our films find a place in your busy life. This is the experience we want to share.”

And Ozzy Osbourne is doing quite nicely by all accounts. O s b o u r n e fronted one of the oddest, but one o f r o c k ’s m o s t important bands, Black Sabbath.

album and its follow-up, Paranoid went from cult classics to mainstream favs, earning platinum certification and legions of fans. With the success came all of the byproducts: girls, drugs, and alcohol abuse. Osbourne would grapple with excess for much of his life, even to the present day. At one point the group was accused of encouraging teen suicide while listening to a Sabbath song. The negative publicity eventually boiled over. So did the criticism of Ozzy biting the head of a bat off during show dates; some said the bats weren’t real, Ozzy swore they indeed were.
IN THE NEWS
Osbourne left the band in 1979 and married Sharon Arden in 1982. The couple and their children went on to star in one of television’s most popular reality series, and Sharon, along with their children Kelly and Jack, all became celebrities. Osbourne continued to play. His Ozzfest tours, bringing together heavy metal bands for extended play dates, drew huge crowds, with Osbourne as the headliner. In 2011 Black Sabbath reunited for a worldwide tour. Sharon is a regular on “The Talk” and “America’s Got Talent.” The two have been living apart of late but deny they have broken up.

Independent Dining Pan Seared Polenta And Goat Cheese Cake With Braised Pears And Figs Ingredients (Serves 4) 8 oz polenta 4 oz goat cheese 4 pears (peeled and sliced) 2 oz butter 1 8 oz can pear nectar 1 bay leaf 1 shallot (minced) 6 figs (quartered) 1 pinch of cinnamon 4 oz olive oil salt and pepper to taste
Method Fill a large pot with a 2-to-1 ratio, water to polenta, and bring to a boil. Once the water boils, add the minced shallot and the bay leaf then slowly pour in the polenta while whisking it into the boiling water. Once you have added all of your polenta, reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to whisk often. Do this for an hour, then whisk in the butter and the polenta will be the right consistency. When the polenta is finished pour half of it into a deep baking dish and
place in the fridge for 15 minutes to allow it to cool slightly, then remove and crumble the goat cheese over the top. Now pour in the rest of the polenta, smooth and even out the polenta with a spatula and place in the fridge for about an hour to cool. While the polenta cake cools you can start braising the pears and figs. Start by bringing 1 cup of water and the 8 oz can of pear nectar to a simmer then add the cinnamon and place the pears in the hot liquid. Let the pears
cook at a low simmer for the entire hour that you are cooling the polenta. Add the figs at the end and let them cook in the liquid for about 15 minutes. When the polenta is cool cut it into 4 square pieces. Heat a large sautĂŠ pan and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the cakes and shallow fry the polenta for about 7 minutes on each side. Plate the dish with a healthy portion of the braised pears, figs, and of course some of the delicious braising liquid.
