round matches and Saturday night's fight. Now on BBC News, it's time | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
for The Film Review. Hello and welcome to the Film | :00:00. | :00:34. | |
Review. Mark, what have you got? The story of man falling in love | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
with an operating system. And the Lego movie. It has surprised all the | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
critics. Myself included. And, Monuments Men, directed by and | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
starring George Clooney. Who is quite interesting -- Her, but | :00:57. | :01:06. | |
it is difficult to explain to people and take it seriously. The main | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
character is emotionally withdrawn and at the end of a marriage, the | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
divorce all but signed off. He has retreated from personal interaction | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
and starts having an affair with an operating system on his computer, | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
uploaded to help him sort out his office staff and diary. He opts for | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
a female voice and the operating system seems to develop a | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
personality that he becomes infatuated with. Turns out he is not | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
the only one. I have a friend. The absurd thing is | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
she is an operating system. She is totally amazing, smart, does not | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
just see things in black and white. She is helping me explore it. We | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
just bonded. Really quickly. That is weird, right? I am bonding with an | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
operating system. I don't think so. The woman that I have been seeing, | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
Samantha, I didn't tell you, but she is an OS. You are dating one? What | :02:20. | :02:30. | |
is that like? I feel really close. When I talk to her, like she is with | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
me. Are you falling in love with her? | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
It is a smart, well-written script. But a couple of problems. Samantha | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
Murray to and was doing the voice, but in postproduction they changed | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
it to Scarlett Johansson. I wonder if something organic did not get | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
lost in the shift. It is thought-provoking in beautiful to | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
look at. The image is beautiful, beautifully shot. Absolutely | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
gorgeous. Looks fabulous. The story is that the ghost -- the ghost | :03:05. | :03:19. | |
writes. -- he. So his job is to create faux emotion. My problem with | :03:20. | :03:34. | |
the film is that it is oddly emotionally detached. Is that the | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
part of it? I think one of the strong points is that I enjoyed | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
thinking back on it after I had seen it. You do think, what is a | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
relationship? Is it a conversation? But whilst watching, like you, I | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
thought it was a bit emotionally try. -- dry. And it is also about | :03:59. | :04:12. | |
control. Yes, like the gag about an imaginary girlfriend who gets bored | :04:13. | :04:21. | |
and Leeds! -- leaves. It is illegal. It works up here. -- cerebral. It | :04:22. | :04:31. | |
felt a little bit too clever, as opposed to genuinely emotionally | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
engaging. It just needed something more, for me. | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
The Lego movie. We all went into this, thinking, it | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
will be Pokemon the movie. But it looks fantastic. Made by the same | :04:50. | :05:01. | |
people who brought us Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs which I compare | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
to a David Lynch film. It is anarchic, the kids will live it, and | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
the parents will love how smart, sassy, and edgy is the screenplay. I | :05:15. | :05:23. | |
watched it with a bunch of stuff the critics. One of the gags is | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
conformity. There is a song called, everything is awesome. Yet by the | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
time you come out of the movie, you will be singing it, and only in a | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
partly ironic way! I laughed all the way through. Just like Cloudy With A | :05:43. | :05:57. | |
Chance Of Meatballs, plenty for kids and adults, what you want from a | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
family movie. The funny thing is, with the reviews it has had, it is | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
almost respectable for a middle-aged person to go and see. It is fine! I | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
just love Lego! Across the board, everybody loves how funny it is. | :06:17. | :06:30. | |
Monuments Men. Yes, inspired by a true story, so | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
they have taken some liberties with it. A group of art lovers are sent, | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
essentially, into the field of conflict, to protect works of art in | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
danger of being plundered or destroyed by Li Na says. -- by the | :06:45. | :06:56. | |
Nazis. Every single one of these paintings | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
is a masterpiece heading for Germany. The Nazis are on the run | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
but they are taking everything with them. We need to get as close to the | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
front as we can. Preston, you head for Belgium, specifically Ghent. | :07:13. | :07:25. | |
I'll go with Garfield. Now, you and John Claude get as close to Germany | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
as you can. Why don't you take Sam from Newark, and I'll head up to my | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
old stomping ground, Brugge? Looks like we're going to be together, | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
buddy. A great cast. | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
Yes. But a problem inherent with the poster, are they smiling? Are they | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
stony faced, is it a great caper? The film cannot decide if it has got | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
a comedic turn or if it is serious. Characters keep repeating the | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
message, it is one of those movies in which words speak louder than | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
actions. They call it a non-cynical movie. Post to Vietnam, war movies | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
became cynical. But there is a thin line between cynicism and naivete. | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
It is very uncertain and terribly episodic. A lot of individual | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
performances to like, but terribly clunky. It constantly explains to | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
you what is going on, what it means that it is going on, and just in | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
case you missed it, let me explain what is going on again! It is not | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
terrible, it is populist, it means something, but what it was not have | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
is a lightness of touch and the smartness of reviews George Clooney | :09:00. | :09:08. | |
efforts. Good Night Good Luck was terrific. And there was a very | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
important theme, like there is here. Here, it is not so much laid on by a | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
trowel is a great bulldozer. -- as a. Constant explanations for the | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
hard of thinking. And the best of the week is Dallas Buyers Club, the | :09:31. | :09:44. | |
best I have seen of the year. There are Oscar contenders and it is a | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
well-made movie lifted shoulder high by two great actors. They are trying | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
to bring a mainstream audience to a story which you might not | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
automatically think suits. But the fact it is doing well no box office | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
means it is playing a wide audience, and I am glad it is. And your pic on | :10:02. | :10:12. | |
DVD, Blue Jasmine. Kate Lang should still has a very good chance on | :10:13. | :10:20. | |
Oscar night. -- Cate Blanchette. It is not my favourite Woody Allen | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
film. Not because it is not funny enough, it is very dry and wearing, | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
but she is on camera almost all the way through and is fantastic. She | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
does brilliantly. You compare that with her performance in Monuments | :10:37. | :10:51. | |
Men and... A crazy accent. Yes, she is wondering how far she can push | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
the accent before it becomes ironic, and the answer is not very far! But | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
in Blue Jasmine she is terrific, it is a winner. That is all for this | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
week. Thank you for watching and goodbye. | :11:10. | :11:14. |
