:00:05.:00:26.

Welcome. To take us through the cinema releases his Mark Kermode.

It is a diverse week with Formula 1 It is a diverse week with Formula 1

:00:45.:00:54.

White House Down. Rush. I have seen it. I thought it was amazing,

:00:54.:01:01.

wonderful. In case people do not know, although frankly, there has

:01:01.:01:06.

been so much publicity, it is a drama directed by Ron Howard,

:01:06.:01:10.

personality clash and rivalry personality clash and

:01:10.:01:14.

cheese. One is cold, the other hot, between James

:01:14.:01:23.

cheese. One is cold, the other hot, totally different personalities and

:01:23.:01:30.

different on and off the track. I never understood what that means. I

:01:30.:01:35.

love my job and competing. Maybe you should ask Niki Lauda, the

:01:35.:01:39.

world champion has everything to lose. Are you feeling pressure? Do

:01:39.:01:47.

I look like I am feeling pressure? I am world champion on the verge to

:01:47.:01:51.

become champion again. It is not easy to become a champion, you have

:01:51.:01:56.

to really believe it to make it possible. If Nicky is being tricky

:01:56.:02:04.

mind games, I am flattered. mind games, I am flattered.

:02:04.:02:08.

Momentum is with me. I have never felt better. I expect to be world

:02:08.:02:19.

champion. When you start to talk about Formula 1 movies and chalk

:02:19.:02:23.

and cheese characters, you think about Ayrton Senna. The brilliant

:02:23.:02:29.

documentary I loved. I know very little about Formula 1. What has

:02:29.:02:33.

happened is they have happened is they have taken a

:02:33.:02:34.

similar story, with competing similar story, with competing

:02:34.:02:40.

personalities and played it broadly, specifically to what people who do

:02:40.:02:44.

not understand Formula 1... Here, people have a knowledge but in

:02:44.:02:50.

country. This is a British country. This is a British

:02:50.:02:54.

production but Ron Howard is a Hollywood director. It is played in

:02:54.:03:04.

broad brush strokes. The actor playing James Hunt, he is like

:03:04.:03:04.

stewards. Niki Lauda wanting to go Austin

:03:04.:03:13.

to bed early, he is the most interesting character will stop you

:03:14.:03:17.

have the stuff on the track. I thought it was gripping, partly

:03:18.:03:20.

amazing. Also, I knew what happened. because of the sound. The it was

:03:20.:03:26.

amazing. Also, I knew what happened. I remember

:03:26.:03:30.

That is unusual, when you know the even though I knew

:03:30.:03:36.

That is unusual, when you know the ending. Ron Howard did something

:03:36.:03:41.

similar with Apollo 13. That is a talent of his. If I have a

:03:41.:03:46.

criticism, it is the need to spell out everything as if it is speaking

:03:46.:03:50.

to an audience who have no idea about the sport. The characters are

:03:50.:03:56.

played with broad straight but I think it will play to a mainstream

:03:56.:04:00.

audience, an audience that would not go to see a Formula 1 film. I

:04:00.:04:05.

know people who know nothing about the sport really like it. Ron

:04:05.:04:10.

criticism. If you can do it, it is criticism. If you can do it, it is

:04:11.:04:18.

a talent. 42. Jackie Robinson. The problem for British viewers is

:04:18.:04:21.

understanding the iconic status of understanding the iconic status of

:04:21.:04:25.

a black man playing in the major leagues in American baseball. It is

:04:25.:04:34.

good the story is being told. What you have is the story playing out

:04:34.:04:39.

with Chadwick Boseman and Harrison Ford. It is about how radical it

:04:39.:04:45.

was to bring an African American into the major league. It is played

:04:45.:04:49.

very straight. Brian Helgeland directed it. He does not want to

:04:49.:04:54.

mess around with the story. It is moving. Chadwick Boseman is very

:04:54.:05:02.

very like a growl. My only very like a growl. My

:05:02.:05:07.

criticism is it is such an criticism is it is such an

:05:07.:05:09.

extraordinary story I would have liked the movie to be less ordinary.

:05:09.:05:12.

remarkable story. It is quite It is firm be

:05:12.:05:19.

remarkable story. It is quite difficult to get your head around

:05:19.:05:25.

this time when this happened. If you were an African—American you

:05:26.:05:27.

could not play a major league could not play a major league

:05:27.:05:32.

baseball. The really terrifying stuff is the institutional thing

:05:32.:05:34.

where they come to a coach stop and where they come to a coach stop and

:05:34.:05:37.

he is not allowed to use the same bathroom, and this is in the recent

:05:37.:05:44.

up the White House? As the up

:05:44.:05:50.

beginning, there is a joke that that is the building they blew

:05:50.:05:56.

is a cut price Bruce Willis. is a cut price Bruce Willis.

:05:56.:06:04.

Channing Tatum is a aspiring secret service agent. He is saving the

:06:04.:06:09.

President who has got a rocket launcher.

:06:09.:06:16.

We have to punch a hole in the fence. The weapon is in the back.

:06:16.:06:21.

What have you got? That is what I What have you got? That is what I

:06:21.:06:31.

am talking about. You have to stick that out there and go to work. Here

:06:31.:06:48.

it comes. This is a buddy movie where one of the bodies is the

:06:48.:06:50.

President! —— buddies. It President! —— buddies. It is

:06:50.:07:03.

something that you see in a Roland Emmerich film. It flopped in

:07:03.:07:09.

America. I started laughing, not at the movie, I think I was laughing

:07:09.:07:13.

with it. I think Roland Emmerich was finding it far me. It is a lot

:07:13.:07:18.

of money to spend if you are making an extended joke. But if you want

:07:18.:07:23.

this is not a criticism. It is not an extended joke. But if you want

:07:23.:07:38.

this is not a criticism. It is not good, but it is a fun movie. We can

:07:38.:07:42.

move on to your pick of the week. The

:07:42.:07:50.

the best thing out, it is a small movie and the reason I really like

:07:50.:07:54.

sound, for example, in films where fascinating. If you like the use

:07:54.:08:02.

sound, for example, in films where profound effect.

:08:02.:08:10.

terrific. The title is a misheard song lyric. I have a slight

:08:10.:08:11.

criticism. Casey Affleck, the criticism. Casey Affleck, the

:08:12.:08:16.

delivery would put a fossil to sleep. It is set in the early

:08:16.:08:23.

seventies and it is a very seventies and it is a very

:08:23.:08:27.

Seventies movie. If you look at them that is exactly... Dancing

:08:27.:08:33.

with walls! That was much later. Our I am thinking in terms of a

:08:34.:08:39.

very slow voice over. This is edited in the way people used to

:08:40.:08:44.

edit movies where you hold the shot and I like that, but I am 50. It is

:08:44.:08:51.

interesting. It does something more than just quote Terence Malik.

:08:51.:08:58.

Ironman three. This is now the single biggest Super Hero franchise.

:08:58.:09:07.

More of the same. I like it. Robert Downey Junior is very funny. He

:09:07.:09:12.

does a good job balancing action and comedy sequences. It has a

:09:12.:09:17.

comic—book sensibility, but it is very knowing. I went into these

:09:17.:09:22.

movies not expecting much, but I think the trilogy works well. With

:09:22.:09:29.

these movies, how would you know about this whole thing with nobody

:09:29.:09:34.

it is the biggest. You would not it is the biggest. You would not

:09:34.:09:39.

think that the numbers would add up. When Robert Downey Jnr was cast,

:09:39.:09:43.

you thought about it, he is not that kind of actor, but he does a

:09:43.:09:52.

very good job. Thanks. That is it. A reminder before we go is that you

:09:52.:09:58.
