one particular. The Judge: Robert Downey, Jr., Robert Duvall.
A flashy, smooth, somewhat snakelike, defense lawyer in Chicago (Downey), returns to his smaller hometown for his Mother's funeral and encounters the father (Duvall), he resents and dislikes, and quickly has to defend. The stoic, stubborn, Duvall has lengthy sat on the bench as judge and is involved in an accident in which 1 of the criminals he extended ago sentenced is killed. Is it actually an accident or revenge for previous sins. The plot moves soon, passionately, and the side stories with Downey's 2 brothers, who have dealt with their share of aggravation and disappointment however held the household collectively, is each sweet and haunting simultaneously. One more twist includes Downey's higher college sweetheart and her daughter. In contrast to some stories of this genre, this film has all the components of a hit: terrific cast, terrific script, twists and turns, and a satisfying ending. Back in the heyday of the 70's and 80's, and in my humble opinion, this film would be the favourite for ideal image, greatest actor, and ideal supporting actor. four stars

two. The 100ft Journey: Helen Mirren, Om Puri, Manish Dayal

A friendship starts with 2 cast members on opposite sides of the road which not only leads to a bit of competitors yet too to a sweet romance among numerous cast members. This movie is what I employed to contact a really feel terrific film and shows the greatest of independent movie generating exactly where the cast and plot are not the only stars, yet too the landscape, setting, music, and meals are as required and loved as significantly as the performers and script. five stars
three. Chef: Jon Favreau, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey, Jr.
Favreau has established himself a fine director and writer, yet, I nevertheless take pleasure in watching him act. He generally appears to have a great time when he actions in front of the camera, and Chef is no exception to this as he requires on all roles of director, screenwriter, and actor. He calls upon his Iron Man friends, Downey and Johansson, who lend extraordinary performances in smaller supporting roles. In contrast, Jon Leguizamo and Emjay Anthony, as Favreau's friend and son, build wonderfully sweet characters that are real, sincere, and lovable. The story starts with Favreau as the head chef of a preferred restaurant owned by Dustin Hoffman, who admires and actually appreciates Favreau however does not offer him the culinary freedom he so desperately desires. Following the crude and hurtful remarks of a meals critic, played wonderfully by Oliver Platt, stating Favreau has grown predictable and has lost his cooking soul, a tweeting war starts that causes Favreau to quit his job. His sweet ex-wife, played by the gorgeous and supportive, Sofia Vergarra, encourages him to take a trip to Miami with her and their son, to return exactly where it all started for Favreau. She too arranges a meeting amongst Favreau and her husband ahead of Favreau, the ever charming and sleek Downey, who supplies him with an old, rundown, meals truck, and the journey starts. Leguizamo quits his job as sous chef at Favreau's former restaurant and flies to Favreau's side and involving him, Favrea, and Anthony, they commence their trek from Miami to L.A., stopping along to way for short stops in big cities exactly where they supply the population with Cuban music blaring from the meals truck, and terrific place influenced gastronomical delights, and along the way, a father rediscovers his partnership with his son. This film will have you tapping your toes and rubbing your empty belly at the exact same time. five stars
