The Internship (2013)
Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson star as two former salesmen who, never having
managed to come to grips with the digital age, are left high and
dry when their employer suddenly decides to call it a day. Staking
everything on one last throw of the dice, the pair, defying all the
odds, somehow manage to get themselves accepted onto a coveted
internship at tech giants Google. But will they be able to keep up
the facade once they take up their positions?
The Watch (2012)
Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade star as a group of
friends who form a neighbourhood watch group. While Evan Trautwig, a newcomer to the suburban neighbourhood, may have a
legitimate reason for forming a crime watch group following the
recent murder of a friend, it is clear that for most of the men
ulterior motives are at work. Indeed, Bob Finnerty seems
to spend a lot more time examining the dating habits of his
daughter, Chelsea, than he does looking for
threats. However, when the men stumble across what appears to be an
alien plan to destroy humankind, they understand where their
responsibilities lie and set out to counter the threat.
In response to increasing mobility and migration in Europe, the
European Directive 2010/64/EU on strengthening the rights to
interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings has
highlighted the importance of quality in legal translation and
interpreting. At the same time, the economic situation is putting
pressure on public services and translation/interpreting service
providers alike, jeopardizing quality standards and fair access to
justice. With regard to interpreting, the use of videoconference
technology is now being widely considered as a potential solution
for gaining cost-effective and timely access to qualified legal
interpreters. However, this gives rise to many questions,
including: how technological mediation through videoconferencing
affects the quality of interpreting; how this is related to the
actual videoconference setting and the distribution of
participants; and ultimately whether the different forms of
video-mediated interpreting are sufficiently reliable for legal
communication. It is against this backdrop that the AVIDICUS
Project (2008-11), co-funded by the European Commission's
Directorate-General Justice, set out to research the quality and
viability of video-mediated interpreting in criminal proceedings.
This volume, which is based on the final AVIDICUS Symposium in
2011, presents a cross-section of the findings from AVIDICUS and
complementary research initiatives, as well as recommendations for
judicial services, legal practitioners and police officers, and
legal interpreters.

Adam Rodgers directs this romantic comedy starring Andy Garcia and
Vera Farmiga. Single parents George (Garcia) and Edith (Farmiga)
meet when they accompany their children to an admissions tour of
Middleton University. Heart surgeon George, who is with his son
Conrad (Spencer Lofranco), seems somewhat uptight, which initially
leads to a clash of personalities with carefree Edith and her
daughter Audrey (Taissa Farmiga). However, as the day progresses
and the pair get to know each other better, sparks begin to ignite.
But with the tour only set to last the day, will their connection
have a chance to develop?
If I were an astronaut, I would zoom into outer space! I would help

is to be an astronaut.
