:00:32. > :00:40.Hello. Welcome to Film 2011. We are live and if you want to get in
:00:40. > :00:50.touch, the details are on the screen. Coming up - Robert Downey
:00:50. > :00:53.
:00:53. > :00:58.Junior and Jude Law return in guy rich's -- Guy Ritchie's game game.
:00:58. > :01:04.-- Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadow. The new Mission Impossible
:01:04. > :01:09.and we have an early review of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
:01:09. > :01:14.the past 40 years someone has been trying to drive me insane. Plus,
:01:14. > :01:19.we'll discuss our films of the year with Antonia, Chris and Catherine.
:01:19. > :01:27.First, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadow with Robert Downey Junior
:01:27. > :01:35.and Jude Law. This is the most important case of my career. What
:01:35. > :01:41.are we up against here? The most formidable criminal mind in Europe.
:01:41. > :01:49.Professor James Moriarty. We could stop the collapse of western
:01:49. > :01:54.civilisation. No pressure. He's chasing Moriarty, the greatest
:01:54. > :02:04.super-villain of all time. Are you sure you want to play this game?
:02:04. > :02:06.
:02:06. > :02:11.He's become obsessed with this kind of hard theory that Moriarty is up
:02:11. > :02:16.to something super no good. This isn't the first occasion that Mr
:02:16. > :02:24.Holmes has inconvenienced me recently. The question is, what to
:02:24. > :02:33.do about it? In a way, he's like Kryptonite to super man. He's a way
:02:33. > :02:43.to introduce mortality and fal built into the Holmes character.
:02:43. > :02:46.forgot the rest. It's coming back now. It's about the excitement that
:02:46. > :02:54.Holmes can derive by knowing that there is someone that can be a
:02:54. > :02:58.worthy opponent. It's surprising to Watson to learn that Holmes has a
:02:58. > :03:02.brother. Sherlock Holmes seems such a unique one-off creation, this
:03:02. > :03:06.strange man, with his incredible knowledge, his weird habits. In the
:03:06. > :03:12.future there will be one of those machines in every town in Europe.
:03:12. > :03:19.Loitering in the wood shed again. Good evening. I see your boot maker
:03:19. > :03:26.is ill, dear brother. Not only that, he's much smarter and brighter than
:03:26. > :03:33.I am. May I point out that the chimney is in great need of a
:03:33. > :03:41.cleaning out. You can't imagine what the parents were like. What
:03:41. > :03:51.dark knight of the soul -- dark night of the soul when they named
:03:51. > :03:54.him. He's been around for 130 years, Sherlock Holmes and he does endure.
:03:54. > :03:57.In case of Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes he's flying through the air
:03:57. > :04:07.and punching people and doing extraordinary things with swords
:04:07. > :04:09.
:04:09. > :04:13.and weapons. Just follow my lead. Make it count. I'll say that
:04:13. > :04:16.counts! I made Christmas trees. charmed. What did you think?
:04:16. > :04:21.first Sherlock Holmes had the huge advantage. If we are going to be
:04:21. > :04:25.frank, we low expectations, so when it came out and it was oddly
:04:25. > :04:34.fantastic it was a surprise. What they've done is Guy Ritchie goes in
:04:34. > :04:40.thinking let's make the same again, only more so. More of that kind of
:04:40. > :04:46.visual CGI and Victorian London. I am quite partial to that. There is
:04:46. > :04:53.more Robert Downey Junior and more power to him. Long may he last.
:04:53. > :04:58.He's home. Equal parts 77 Iggy Pop and Henry Higgins. He's a magnetic
:04:58. > :05:05.lunatic and he's stoked up and he's wonderful. The canny casting move
:05:05. > :05:09.which makes it tick is Jared Harris into as Moriarty. Most actors, if
:05:09. > :05:13.you put Robert on the one side of the screen they would fall off. He
:05:13. > :05:17.has the charisma to hold his place. It's an interesting character,
:05:17. > :05:21.because it's not conventional villain. There is no cackling. It's
:05:21. > :05:26.much more quietly psychotic and it works a treat. They are in perfect
:05:26. > :05:32.synchronicity and I would watch the two of them orderering chips for
:05:33. > :05:37.two hours. Could you? What kind of chips? Any chips they like. Dusted
:05:37. > :05:44.with chilli. I have a question, do you think Guy Ritchie like guns?
:05:44. > :05:47.Genuine question. You will see 900 slow-mos of bullets. If I see
:05:47. > :05:52.something coming out of a barrel, I wanted to hurt myself. However, I
:05:52. > :06:02.just want to mention the women. One woman is killed off before the
:06:02. > :06:02.
:06:02. > :06:08.opening titles. The other one Noomi Rapace isn't given anything to do.
:06:08. > :06:12.In every seen that you see she is eating. You have to watch this.
:06:12. > :06:15.Call me. You will agree. She is holding it together or drinking.
:06:15. > :06:21.She doesn't speak and the plot doesn't make any sense. However,
:06:21. > :06:30.what saves it is the insane campness of it. The naked wrestling
:06:30. > :06:40.is absolutely brilliant. There was homoerattic subtext in the first
:06:40. > :06:44.one, but they've abandoned that now and it's very clear. The story is
:06:44. > :06:49.not very comprehensible. The last 20 minutes or 30 minutes suddenly
:06:49. > :06:54.it clicks into gear and become gripping. I'm very happy with this
:06:54. > :06:58.film. I'm happy with Stephen Fry in this fill. He's delicious. I loved
:06:58. > :07:02.him before -- film. He's delicious. I loved him before though. I would
:07:02. > :07:08.recommend this has a Christmas panto of a movie, so in the same
:07:08. > :07:14.way stuffed full of pant mine dames. The ending is properly laugh-out-
:07:14. > :07:17.loud brilliant. I hooted. I didn't laugh. Next, Tom Cruise is back in
:07:17. > :07:27.Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. The mission is to stop a nuclear
:07:27. > :07:28.
:07:28. > :07:32.war by swinging off buildings. are live. Normally there's a
:07:32. > :07:42.mission and Ethan has to put together a team and go to get the
:07:42. > :07:43.
:07:43. > :07:47.mission done right. This is completely the opposite. Ethan,
:07:48. > :07:53.what happened?! It was a set-up. They are classifying this as
:07:53. > :07:59.undeclared act of war and the blame points to you and your team. The
:07:59. > :08:03.President has nicheated glos protocol. The entire IMF has been
:08:03. > :08:12.disavowed. What is now? Your mission, should you choose to
:08:13. > :08:22.accept it... It's big. It's exciting. It's a crazy, fun, action
:08:23. > :08:24.
:08:24. > :08:31.movie. One of the signature things in the movie was a see quepbs on
:08:31. > :08:35.the tallest -- sequence on the tallest building in the world.
:08:35. > :08:39.didn't have a lot of test time. They built walls for me to practice
:08:39. > :08:48.climbing and I would do drills, so I spent poz actually working on
:08:48. > :08:57.that and getting my enduerst -- I spent months actually working on
:08:57. > :09:03.that and getting my endurance up. Infra-red sensors. Don't have time.
:09:03. > :09:13.How am I going to do this? I love making the movies and enjoy the
:09:13. > :09:13.
:09:13. > :09:17.challenge of coming up with the sequences. There's a great sense of
:09:17. > :09:21.humour. I'm grifg you the broad strokes and the tone -- I'm giving
:09:21. > :09:28.you the broad strokes and the tone. It will have a different sense of
:09:28. > :09:36.humour. That is from Brad Bird and crew. I just jump? And I catch you.
:09:36. > :09:42.Yeah. Why is that so hard to grasp? What? Why? It's a 25-foot drop.
:09:42. > :09:48.would be more worried about the heat. Then there's that. What heat?
:09:48. > :09:52.If you switch off the fan it will get really hot. Of course.
:09:52. > :09:58.Relatively. We have got explosions and we've got car chases and hand-
:09:59. > :10:08.to-hand combat. We have villains and heroes and what do you want,
:10:09. > :10:20.
:10:20. > :10:26.Come on. I'm not going to come on. That's exhilarating. Let me say
:10:26. > :10:33.this, it's Tom. Risky Business, Tom. I can't be angry with him. Let me
:10:33. > :10:35.say this, he's over 50 and he looks 12. He's jumping and racing and
:10:36. > :10:39.standing and it's Mission Impossible and it's Chris imagine
:10:39. > :10:44.the minute the music starts, the opening sequence is about an hour
:10:44. > :10:49.long. You see the back of his tiny head and he's throwing a rock at
:10:49. > :10:53.the wall. It's like The Great Escape in miniature. The star is
:10:53. > :10:59.Simon Pegg. Every time he says anything he plays it so well. He
:10:59. > :11:03.doesn't go over the top, but he's fantastic. I liked it. It's
:11:03. > :11:09.interesting, because the third was terrible and the franchise had run
:11:09. > :11:14.aground, so they had to do something big and quite adventurous.
:11:14. > :11:21.Brad Bird has got a CV of wonders and dreams. Never directed human
:11:21. > :11:26.beings. He has worked on Pixar. He has never directed humans. It would
:11:26. > :11:28.be a gamble. What he brings to the table is this huge visual
:11:28. > :11:35.imagination and the sense of anything which possible and the
:11:35. > :11:39.sense of choreography. That half works, because the spectical is
:11:39. > :11:44.awe-inspiring. The sandstorm. the hotel in Dubai, which is the
:11:44. > :11:50.money shot. It is Tom 130 floors up and he's genuinely awesome and if
:11:50. > :11:56.you see it on the big screen it will induce the feelings of vertigo
:11:56. > :12:00.and you will feel clammy. In terms of looking it great, it does. The
:12:00. > :12:04.action sequences are fantastic. My problem with the movie, for a start,
:12:04. > :12:07.it hangs around too long. It outstays its welcome. You can
:12:07. > :12:12.either finish half an hour earlier or do something different for the
:12:12. > :12:16.last 30 minutes, because unlike Holmes, things are very saggy and
:12:16. > :12:19.confused. The whole immeant prospect of if you clear war seems
:12:19. > :12:23.dull, which is not what they were going for, I'm sure. I know it's
:12:23. > :12:27.terrible, but I have a problem with Tom Cruise and the status of Tom
:12:27. > :12:34.Cruise in this film. It's his production. It does say, "Produced
:12:34. > :12:40.by Tom Cruise." It is almost like - - They made walls. Jeremy Renner is
:12:40. > :12:44.a fine actor. Simon Pegg does very well. He's fantastic. Really well
:12:44. > :12:48.judged and to make room for himself. Tom Cruise didn't make room for
:12:48. > :12:53.anyone. He's this 50-year-old who is eager to mark his territory,
:12:53. > :12:58.threatened by what he might see as competition. It's like watching an
:12:58. > :13:03.ageing tomcat musking everywhere. Mr Cruise, if you are watching.
:13:03. > :13:08.that a verb? I think you're marvellous. I apologise. I'm going
:13:08. > :13:12.to send him a Christmas present. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
:13:12. > :13:21.is on nationwide release from Monday, 26th December. Now the top
:13:21. > :13:26.five. We have the favourite dramatic exits. Whether you are a
:13:26. > :13:30.secret agent, escaping from a ticking time bomb, or a super-
:13:30. > :13:38.villain disappearing in a cloud of smoke, or a shakes sphere character
:13:38. > :13:45.pursued by a bear, there's a lot to be said for making a dramatic exit.
:13:45. > :13:49.This is Up. In this greatest film by Pixar Karl thinks that modern
:13:49. > :13:53.life is rubbish, following the tragic death of his wife, so given
:13:53. > :13:58.that this is a cartoon he does what all right-thinking pensioners
:13:58. > :14:08.should do and leaves it all behind by tieing several thousand balloons
:14:08. > :14:28.
:14:28. > :14:38.So long, boys! I'll send you a postcard!
:14:38. > :14:40.
:14:40. > :14:47.We have all been in meetings which have poured us out of our minds but
:14:47. > :14:53.we have never been in one like this one in the Cohen brothers
:14:53. > :15:03.magnificent screwball comedy. He climbs on to his desk and postponed
:15:03. > :15:13.
:15:13. > :15:20.At number three, it is Hard Boiled. We have all seen action heroes leap
:15:20. > :15:27.out of windows. Been there, done that. But in this 1992 Hong Kong
:15:27. > :15:37.Classic, there is a bit of a twist. He leaps out of the building with a
:15:37. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:43.gun him one hand and her baby in the other. Take That, Bruce Willis.
:15:43. > :15:50.At number two, it is Tim Robbins in the short shank redemption. Exits
:15:50. > :15:53.do not come more dramatic than a good old-fashioned jailbreak and a
:15:53. > :15:58.jailbreak does not come more dramatic than the Houdini attempt
:15:58. > :16:04.in this prison drama. Andy has vanished, seemingly into thin air
:16:04. > :16:14.but actually through a tunnel he has been digging for decades,
:16:14. > :16:15.
:16:15. > :16:19.hidden behind a poster of Raquel Welch. In flashback, we see the
:16:19. > :16:23.escape when he crawls through a sewer and emerges into the rain,
:16:23. > :16:28.the redemption of the title. At number one, it is Kevin Spacey
:16:28. > :16:35.in the usual suspects. Man walks out of a police station. That is
:16:35. > :16:44.not dramatic, right? Wrong. We have seen the Kop question him about the
:16:44. > :16:54.criminal mastermind. I am not a rat. He is allowed to leave the police
:16:54. > :17:02.
:17:02. > :17:12.station. Only to realise, the First, we see his limp begin to
:17:12. > :17:13.
:17:13. > :17:19.straighten out. And then it hits cars. -- and then it hits us. And
:17:19. > :17:23.like that, he is gone. Brilliant. Next, David Fincher's
:17:23. > :17:26.remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Steig Larsson's best-
:17:26. > :17:32.selling story about a journalist and a troubled young computer
:17:32. > :17:38.hacker who team up to solve a 40- year-old murder case. I need your
:17:38. > :17:43.help. We will be investigating the most detestable collection of
:17:43. > :17:47.people we will ever meet, my family. This is Harriet. Someone in the
:17:47. > :17:53.family murdered Harriet. For the past 40 years it has been driving
:17:53. > :17:58.me insane. It is interesting and a different kind of crime story. And
:17:58. > :18:03.it has definitely a different kind of hero. She is one of the best
:18:03. > :18:07.investigators I have. But. She is different. The character Lisbeth
:18:07. > :18:13.Salander is one of the most interesting female roles which has
:18:13. > :18:20.ever been created. It is a story about secrets, secrets of a family,
:18:20. > :18:25.secrets of a society, her secret. need a research assistant. I know
:18:25. > :18:30.an excellent one. She did the background check on you. What?
:18:30. > :18:35.It is a story which deals with violence against women, it is a
:18:35. > :18:40.story which deals with an abused human being who has been beaten and
:18:40. > :18:46.got tat since they were a child and has somehow managed to survive.
:18:46. > :18:51.What are you doing? Reading your notes. They are encrypted. Blue is.
:18:51. > :18:55.Rape, torture, fire, and was, torture, religion, and a missing
:18:56. > :19:00.anything? It asks a lot of questions.
:19:00. > :19:08.A new way here that day. I came in a bit later after the accident on
:19:08. > :19:14.the bridge. I have had a terrible day. And the days after, searching,
:19:14. > :19:19.not finding, even worse. Every good film has the atmosphere,
:19:19. > :19:23.the expression of the director that makes it and David Fincher has
:19:23. > :19:28.always been very strong in expressing himself through his
:19:28. > :19:32.films. Being a very smart director, what he is asking for his life. The
:19:32. > :19:36.good thing about doing maybe 40 takes his there is nobody who can
:19:36. > :19:46.stick to an idea for 40 takes. You get too tired and everything
:19:46. > :19:50.
:19:50. > :19:55.crumbles and suddenly, there is beautiful real live. -- real life.
:19:55. > :19:57.We should warn people that this version of The Girl With The Dragon
:19:57. > :20:03.Tattoo, it does have the most wildly of putting credit sequence
:20:03. > :20:08.that I have ever seen in my life. It is like a bond credit sequence
:20:08. > :20:12.conceived by it a bass player. Be good news is the credit sequence
:20:12. > :20:16.ends and actually, the film, if the credit sequence is your worst
:20:16. > :20:21.nightmare, the film itself is as good as you would hope it would be.
:20:21. > :20:25.I think what it does is it takes Steig Larsson's novel and it hangs
:20:25. > :20:30.on to what is important from that. It takes this Swedish horror story
:20:30. > :20:36.and it is faithful and ambitious. It takes the writing and applies a
:20:36. > :20:40.coat of lustre to it. It is a fantastic movie. I think if you
:20:40. > :20:45.come as a fan of the original three films you can embrace it. If you
:20:45. > :20:51.come as a David Fincher fan it is even better. You have Bibles,
:20:52. > :20:55.corpses, a lot of raw edges and blood being spilt. It has the 15
:20:55. > :20:59.years of film-making which has gone on since. Fincher has grown into
:20:59. > :21:03.this incredibly eloquent director and he has you in the palm of your
:21:03. > :21:07.hand. He builds up tension and he builds up sexual tension. There was
:21:07. > :21:12.a huge risk and a lot of people had baited breath with this film but it
:21:12. > :21:15.is a success. I think it works from well. Stellan Skarsgard was talking
:21:15. > :21:20.about the joy of working with venture and the 40 takes. The
:21:21. > :21:27.proven benefit is up there on screen. I did really like it. But I
:21:27. > :21:31.felt wrong already going in because I loved the original and I loved
:21:31. > :21:36.Noomi Rapace's Lisbeth Salander which is how I pictured her when I
:21:36. > :21:40.was reading the books. I felt unfaithful when I was -- as if I
:21:40. > :21:44.was going on a date with a different but same person, if that
:21:44. > :21:47.makes sense. But I thought it was excellent. Often you leave a
:21:47. > :21:53.Fincher film but you go straight back and watch it straight away.
:21:53. > :22:02.The films we are discussing this week, it is like someone who is
:22:02. > :22:06.playing musical chairs. Geraldine James is in everything. And the
:22:06. > :22:13.girl with a dragon tattoo is like Sherlock Holmes. The script is
:22:13. > :22:19.excellent. He has compressed everything. He has turned it into
:22:19. > :22:27.something which is very eloquent and economical. I'm going to stick
:22:27. > :22:31.up for Rooney Mara. I love her. She is brilliant. Noomi Rapace was a
:22:31. > :22:39.tough girl but Rooney Mara his skinny and feral and more
:22:39. > :22:44.vulnerable and kind of Wilder. is your film of the week? It is The
:22:44. > :22:49.Girl With The Dragon Tattoo but Sherlock Holmes is also fun. Go and
:22:49. > :22:55.see them. It is Christmas. Go and see everything a million times. Or
:22:55. > :22:59.come round mine, I am making mince pies. The bill with a dragon tattoo
:22:59. > :23:05.is on nationwide release from 26th December -- the girl with the
:23:05. > :23:13.dragon tattooed. Here is a round-up of films which we are looking for -
:23:13. > :23:17.- looking forward to in the new It may be the season to be jolly
:23:17. > :23:27.now but the coming weeks and months are filled with films of intense,
:23:27. > :23:34.complex and challenging subject Martha, Marsay, May, Myleene is
:23:34. > :23:40.about the story of a woman he in a cult and when she is suddenly free.
:23:40. > :23:48.Are if I guess it is most about internal struggle with identity and
:23:48. > :23:52.who to trust and how to find yourself and how you identify
:23:52. > :23:57.yourself within a group. They think the question here is what is your
:23:57. > :24:01.place in the world and how do find that place? Someone said the review
:24:01. > :24:07.are postulated, where did Martha find more love, in the community or
:24:07. > :24:12.with her sister and brother-in-law. It is an interesting question.
:24:12. > :24:16.Elizabeth has already gained plaudits for her performance.
:24:16. > :24:21.not have time to second guess my self. I felt like I had the tools I
:24:21. > :24:26.needed. I do not feel like that anymore on anything. I am happy I
:24:26. > :24:35.was naive enough to think I was super confident enough to take the
:24:35. > :24:42.role on. Director Steve McQueen's follow-up

:25:31. > :25:35.launched from a powerboat and hit her head. You might not be over to
:25:35. > :25:39.hear this right now but she was lonely. Who is he? I would like to
:25:39. > :25:45.know who the guy is that my wife was seeing.
:25:45. > :25:50.What I liked about it was this man who has been cuckolded decides to
:25:50. > :26:00.go find his wife's lover and tell him that she is going to die, even
:26:00. > :26:02.
:26:03. > :26:07.though he wants to murder the guy. Why are you looking to hang me?
:26:07. > :26:14.Wendy Hurrell son plays a dysfunctional cop in the film
:26:14. > :26:20.Rampart, who has gone road. Are you in on this? Are you kidding me? Let
:26:20. > :26:25.me remind you that you killed an alleged serial date rapist Prix
:26:25. > :26:31.meditatively. You first read the script and you think, this guy it
:26:31. > :26:35.is an asshole. Do I look like Santa Claus to you?
:26:35. > :26:39.Personally, I was not sure I could pull it off because I cannot even
:26:39. > :26:49.imagine playing a cop. It is the only profession I cannot imagine
:26:49. > :26:49.
:26:49. > :26:55.playing. I don't know if his character redeems himself in the
:26:55. > :27:02.course of the film or even, what his Arc is necessarily. It might be
:27:02. > :27:07.like that Paul Simon line, after a change we are more less the same.
:27:07. > :27:13.You were a dirty cup and you have dirtied all of us up by default. --
:27:13. > :27:17.30 cop. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as J Edgar
:27:17. > :27:22.Hoover in a biopic directed by Clint Eastwood. He is amazing that
:27:22. > :27:27.when you think by the age of 22 he had graduated from law school and
:27:27. > :27:34.then he starts this Bureau of Investigation, later to become the
:27:34. > :27:38.Federal Bureau of Investigation. Saved it for the press. He air is
:27:38. > :27:44.an incredibly instinctive director. He has a tight knit group of people
:27:44. > :27:49.he has worked with for years. Very similar to J Edgar Hoover. He has
:27:49. > :27:53.almost a splinter sell unit, an elite squadron of people. You can
:27:53. > :27:57.never get out of your head the image of him with this tiny monitor
:27:57. > :28:00.piercing at you and it motivates you to tell the truth. You feel
:28:00. > :28:10.like he is looking right through you.

:28:31. > :28:36.and charismatic. Freud is 50 years old, he is charismatic, witty and
:28:36. > :28:40.funny. Not what people think of when you think of Freud but that is
:28:40. > :28:45.who we are dealing with this -- who we are dealing with it in this
:28:45. > :28:50.movie. It is human frailties. The fact that they are not so different
:28:50. > :28:54.but it is their personalities which affect the course of psychoanalysis
:28:54. > :28:58.and their friendship. Don't you think we ought to stop? Do you want
:28:58. > :29:04.to stop. Where there is discord, may we
:29:04. > :29:11.bring harmony. Mamma Mia director terms Thatcherite as she read teams
:29:11. > :29:15.with Meryl Streep for these Iron Lady. I think if you ask Meryl
:29:15. > :29:25.Streep to play whoever it is, you are going to get a human and a
:29:25. > :29:26.
:29:26. > :29:34.humane character. Dennis. I feel very humble and daunted by
:29:34. > :29:42.the prospect of what she really took on her shoulders. We do look
:29:42. > :29:45.at public figures as if they are monsters or gods and the truth is,
:29:45. > :29:50.everybody falls sort-of in the middle. With all due respect, when
:29:51. > :29:56.one has been to war. With all due respect, sir, I have done battle
:29:56. > :30:01.every single day of my life. I have good news. We have the film
:30:01. > :30:05.2011 family in the studio. Thank you so much for coming in. In a
:30:05. > :30:15.moment we will talk light of the arms of the year but first of all,
:30:15. > :30:23.
:30:23. > :30:28.Antonia, what is your answer? The great masterpiece. This is
:30:28. > :30:33.Viggio who inspired all the great French new-wave directors. He made
:30:33. > :30:38.the movie about a young couple coming to terms in their marriage.
:30:38. > :30:47.He died before the premiere and it was released in the mutilated form
:30:47. > :30:50.and this is his cut. Excellent choice. And you? I'm going for
:30:50. > :30:55.James Watkins, The Woman In Black. With Daniel Radcliffe, based on the
:30:55. > :31:00.Susan Hill novel. The play is terrifying and the TV movie from
:31:00. > :31:07.the 1980s is terrifying, so hopefully this will follow. And
:31:07. > :31:12.also The Raid. Indonesian action film. Directed by Gareth Evans. It
:31:12. > :31:19.is phenomenal. People went bananas for it. They did in Toronto. It
:31:19. > :31:26.lives up to the hype. You've had two, but I won't get grumpy. It's
:31:26. > :31:35.Christmas. Catherine. I'm in the going to be greedy. 2012 is all
:31:35. > :31:41.about psychoanalysts, spel Freud and Yeung. I like A Dangerous
:31:41. > :31:51.Method. It's directed by David Kronenberg and Michael Fassbender
:31:51. > :31:53.
:31:53. > :31:58.spanks his patients. I'm in. I've changed my own choice. Danny?
:31:58. > :32:04.I'm saying nothing more. Come back if January. OK. Love it when he's
:32:04. > :32:07.strict. For me it's The Muppets, but I'm a moron. Was it a difficult
:32:07. > :32:16.choice for film of the year. Did you think it was a good year?
:32:16. > :32:25.but I'm always depressed by the end of the year. Ghastly year. Really?
:32:25. > :32:29.I thought Senna was pretty good. Amazing year for British films.
:32:29. > :32:34.top eleven years of the century so far, but pretty good. Blockbusters
:32:35. > :32:41.were terrible. Pretty much awful, but British cinema fantastic.
:32:41. > :32:48.Antonia, one film? If you had to pick one? It's a little independent
:32:48. > :32:53.American movie called Beginners, starring Euan McGregor. With
:32:53. > :32:59.Christopher Plummer, his father, who comes out as gay in his 70s.
:32:59. > :33:04.It's the most tender, excentric and peculiar, quiet, grown-up, little
:33:04. > :33:09.masterpiece. I loved it. Here's a clip. Maybe you should take out a
:33:09. > :33:14.personal ad, where you can explain your situation. My situation?
:33:14. > :33:24.You want to be in a relationship and you can't stay in one. That's
:33:24. > :33:34.your fatherly advice, personal ads? Well, a lot of people use them. I
:33:34. > :33:35.
:33:35. > :33:40.did. What? Why should I be monogamous. Pop. It's romantic and
:33:40. > :33:50.funny and Christopher Plummer, 84 yesterday and still going strong.
:33:50. > :33:50.
:33:50. > :33:55.Fabulous. Chris? I love Fast Five, but I'm going to pick The Artist,
:33:55. > :34:01.the French black and white silent film. You'll come out floating on
:34:01. > :34:07.air. It's directed by Michel Hazanavicius. It stars Jean
:34:07. > :34:17.Dujardin. It's about a silent movie stars who star begins to fall as
:34:17. > :34:33.
:34:33. > :34:40.talkies come into vogue. Here's a MUSIC
:34:40. > :34:45.It's knock-out. I saw it on Sunday. There is a blog and I saw a review
:34:45. > :34:50.of this film on it. There is a picture of a cat jumping. And the
:34:50. > :34:55.dog. It's not even out. The dog and the cat. Amazing. It should win
:34:55. > :35:00.every Oscar known to man. It's great. One of the movies where
:35:00. > :35:06.people say, "They don't make them like they used." It's made exactly
:35:06. > :35:12.like they used to, but with a modern twist. After that festive
:35:12. > :35:22.high, my film of the year is about Australia's worst of ever serial
:35:22. > :35:23.
:35:23. > :35:28.killer, Snowtown. It's about John bundy. -- John Bunting. It stars
:35:28. > :35:38.Justin Kurzel and Lucas Pittaway. You will see in this clip the work
:35:38. > :35:57.
:35:57. > :36:03.by him. There you go. Good on ya. Come here. Chuck it at the house.
:36:03. > :36:06.There you go. Chuck it at the house. Go on.
:36:06. > :36:13.LAUGHTER Come here. Come here. Have a look.
:36:13. > :36:17.Come on. It's absolutely brilliant. Even when you watch that clip again
:36:17. > :36:22.and you go, of course it's going to be film of the year. You can see
:36:22. > :36:28.from the clip it's not your typical serial killer chasing blonde with
:36:28. > :36:31.big boobs down a corridor. It's like if Mike Leigh made a movie.
:36:31. > :36:40.It's the social realist thing. Fascinating. Very disturbing to
:36:40. > :36:43.watch. Not something you'll go, "Let's watch that again." What is
:36:43. > :36:47.your favourite? Necessitated, which I spent the entirety of January
:36:47. > :36:55.talking about, but if I'm pushed it's Melancholia. I think it's
:36:55. > :37:05.beautiful. It's by Lars von Trier. Let's see a clip. I want in the
:37:05. > :37:12.church. I don't believe in marriage. You arranged this great party.
:37:12. > :37:18.Until death do us part and forever and ever, Justin and Michael. I
:37:18. > :37:23.just have one thing to say, enjoy it while it lasts. I myself hate
:37:23. > :37:31.marriages. Please. Especially when they involve some of my closest
:37:31. > :37:35.family members. They are all fantastic choices. I liked We Need
:37:35. > :37:40.To Talk About Kevin and The Smurfs. I'm kidding. It was terrible. I
:37:40. > :37:44.wept during it. We've had so many tweets. I can't read them all out
:37:44. > :37:49.and lots of people like Melancholia and Snowtown. There's a lot of love
:37:49. > :37:53.on the net. Guys, thank you. Let's be merry. We are playing games. We
:37:53. > :38:01.are off for Christmas, but we'll be back on 11th January. Thank you so
:38:01. > :38:08.much for watching. Have a fantastic Christmas and this is for Antonia.
:38:08. > :38:14.# Have yourself a merry Lil' Chris mass
