We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks (now on video)

[WE STEAL SECRETS: THE STORY OF WIKILEAKS is now available on home video.]

Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.

Right now, we're in the resurgence of abominable child-molestation accusations against Oscar candidate Woody Allen (who may well be innocent, but who is a filmmaker, which in my book is halfway towards being guilty - whatever the charges).

I'm amused that it mostly seems to be well-educated women who rise to Allen's defense...just as it was upscale feminists who slobber all over Bill Clinton. Makes one wonder who it was women ever slept with in the first place to get the right to vote... Oh, I remember, Warren G. Harding. Anyway, if Ariel Castro hadn't died in prison, he'd have the girls campaigning for him as well. Ladies love the bad boys, right, Justin Bieber?

The Fifth Estate

Review by Pamela Zoslov

While preparing to play Julian Assange in THE FIFTH ESTATE, actor Benedict Cumberbatch wrote to Assange in hopes of meeting him. The Wikilieaks founder replied politely, writing that while he is “fond” of Cumberbatch's work, he does not approve of the film, an early script of which he had read. “I believe you are a good person, but I do not believe that this film is a good film,” Assange wrote. “I know the film intends to depict me and my work in a negative light. I believe it will distort events and subtract from public understanding. It does not seek to simplify, clarify or distill the truth, but rather it seeks to bury it. It will resurrect and amplify defamatory stories which were long ago shown to be false.”
