Episode 10 Film 2012

Hello and welcome to film 2000 12678 we are live if you want to

get in touch. The details are on the screen now. Coming up. Channing

Tatum and Jonah Hill go back to school in 21 Jump Street. I promise

we will be superprofessional. Wahlberg is the man with the swag

in Contraband. I'm coming for you. And Matt Damon goes in search of

the good life in We Bought A Zoo. will give this everything if you

sting with me. First tonight, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum play

undercover cops who get to relive high school in 21 Jump Street.

shady. I haven't seen you since high school. The movie is about two

friends, that went to high school together the first time who didn't

really get along, and then we both join the police force and become

friends through the police academy. Are you ready for a lifetime of

being bad asses. I am. I thought this job would have more car chases.

No-one respects ut and we have a crumby job and we screw up really

bad. I got to read him his rights. Do you even know them. Do you have

to right to remain an Attorney Generaly. Did you say you have the

right to remain an attorney? We get sent to this new unit called...

Jump Street. You are here because you are Justin Bieber look ing kids.

Seven years ago his character is the coolest dude in school. He is

athletic and strong. You have exceptional muscle tone, when did

you go through puberty? Seven? the nerdy guys are cool. Kids are

weird these days. So Joanna is the cool guy right away. It's awesome.

And Chaning winds us having to find out what it is like to be the geek

in school. I don't know who you are.. You are at my party. It is

getting hot in here. It is getting very real. It is like seven

strangers living in one house. Come on. What is your real one?

there are jokes. Some car chases. And some explosions. Some love

making. Let me check out your chest. You OK? Hello. Hello to you. What

did you think? The signs aren't good. 21 Jump Street is adapted

from an 80's TV show we never saw. You have Channing Tatum the potato

that is Channing Tatum. It should be as funny as your first night in

prison. It is very funny indeed. It is difficult describing a comedy,

as soon as you do that the humour drains out. What is nice everyone

will have a favourite scene. Mine is what is the greatest cinematic

taking of drugs I have seen since Performance. You have to hand it to

the producer, who knows what mad stroke of inspiration made them

cast Channing Tatum. Somehow it works. His performance is a peels

of comic genius, he deserves all the cred it in the world. He may

deserve an apology from those who have been unkind to him in the past.

It's a good point. I was mean about him in The Vow. At one point I

laughed so hard I thought I was going to be sick. You weren't

though. I managed to keep it in. It is properly, it is relentlessly

funny. There is no, there is no let up. Not only that, funny and you

care about them. Is that just me? Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are a

brilliant pairing. The writing is great. I want to mention the

supporting cast. Ellie who was in brids made as the teacher who

doesn't know what to say is brilliant. Ice Cube is funny. All

of them, Dave Franco is great. There is an art in making a dumb

comedy this smart. It is credit to the directors Phil Lord and Chris

Miller. Their background is animation. We talked about the

deranged John Carter. They have done the same thing here. This is,

it is like the best of a ka toon -- cartoon, the gags keep coming, when

the gags fall flat, it is also, there is a focus on character and

there is a focus, it sounds weird, people will have seen the clip, you

have to trust me, it is a movie which says interesting things about

school and whether we ever leave school. In that respect it reminds

me of is There's Something About Mary. Which is a movie that was

smart and had a lot of soul and at least one joke which for any man in

the audience will make you cross your legs and never uncross them

again. These two guys, Lord and Miller, give them every comedy in

Hollywood. I always have to mention Rob Wriggle, and the doves. We owe

Channing Tatum a profound apology. We couldn't recommend it enough.

Expect Tays are low for this but everyone who has seen it has had

the same response. It's a pleasant suprise. It is a great comedy.

go and see it in a full cinema. You will be howling this Friday night.

Next Mark Wahlberg is forced to do one last job of course, in the

action film Contraband. There is strong language. You were the best

of the best. The proudest day of my life was when you turned legit. You

started the family and you got out of life. What's going on. Chris,

come home. It's my brother. What happened? I was running something.

And I dumped a package. promised me you would stay out of

it. They're going to kill me. not going to kill you. These guys

are coming off him for the money. If he can't pay they will come

after him. I try to approach him and say we will figure a way to pay

you back. I am forced to go out on one last run. I have to try and fix

this. What are we running? Currency. It is the size of a mini Cooper.

knew a bit about the shipping world and containers and how dirty that

world is, and how much stuff is going on under the surface. So I

was attracted to it. I thought it was an attractive premise for a

good story. You are running something on my ship.. Immediately

when we started bringing up the name, you know, the big name, Mark

Wahlberg, he is perfect. Because I think he has that mixture of boyish

charm, and he is blue collar kind of, and you believe him as a blue

collar guy. You think you are the only guy with a locking gun? You

mention my wife and kids you done. He has a seedy past. He did things

in the past. It is very real to this character. We're going to war.

Open the container, where is my wife? Tell him not to dump it in

the water. You will never find that money. To good news is, I am now

obsessed by shipping and containers. That is good news. I am not joking.

The stuff shot with these extraordinary massive tankers with

all these containers on them is exciting. Mu problem, if you like

with the film, and I want to be nice about it because there is no

point. Don't be nice. So that, let me say that out loud. The problem

is it is always, just a premise, the idea it is one last job, he was

bad, he is now good, for the family has to do one last thing. I was

tire odd of that. The guy he is doing it for, his nephew, just

makes endless bad decision, so just when you think he can't do anything

else thick, he manages it, and I am not sure whether the family

wouldn't group together, hold a meal and say maybe it is time to

cut him off. Maybe he has done too much, you know, let him go. You are

a cruel woman Claudia. I am suprised it has taken this long to

make a movie about smuggling. I would have thought someone would

have snapped that idea up. I think that setting gives it a freshness

and energy, if anyone loves containers and ships more than you,

hard to imagine I know, it is probably Baltasar Kormakur because

he loves this stuff. He lovers the overhead shot, he has a real eye

for detail. That carrys the movie a long way. Two thirds is occupyed

with smuggling and shipping and those two thirds are great. You

have to forgive the cliches a bit. There are creeks and cliches. Kate

Beckinsale, it takes more than a bad bleached hair do to make me buy

her as a hard ass New Orleans chick. It depends on the hero surrounding

himself with people who are so stupid you wouldn't trust them to

order a meal for you. We should say Mark Wahlberg is brilliant, after

Boogie Nights and The Fighter he can do anything. He can play this

character in his sleep. I like the fact they down play the fact it is

in nor lean, you barely notice that, but it is strange from a British

perspective, he is famous from coming from Boston, he is the least

New Orleans actor you could imagine. It is like a crime thriller set in

Newcastle and the crime Lord is Stephen Fry. How did you feel about

the nine different endings? They were a problem for me. The other

thing was Giovanni Ribisi. Giovanni Ribisi seems to think he is in a

different and worse film than everyone else. He has got, an

accent going on, facial hai, he has Kate Beckinsale left over stick on

tattoo, there is a scene he storms in and men nanss maul's kids. They

are not screaming at you, they are screaming at the acting: There is a

lot to recommend about this movie. I enjoyed it for what te it was but

Giovanni Ribisi is not one of them. It is time for the top five. This

week Catherine can't stand her favourite teachers on film. They

say everyone remembers a good teacher. But then again everyone

remembers a bad one too. Either way they make for memorable movie roles.

Here is my pick of the top five. At number five it is Mr Sugden in Kes.

Get changed. Give you a sample of my footballing skills. A rare

delight. Brian Glover's competitive games master is the actor's first

role. He used to be a proetion ifal wrestler. Penalty. Who do you think

you have are? He casts himself as bobby Charlton in the scal's

football match. The referee's decision is final. And he is not

about to let a little thing like fair play get in the way of his

inevitable triumph. And that boys is how to make a -- take a penalty.

At number for it is Election. Matthew Broderick took the role of

Jim McAllister in Election. He is pushed to the edge by the school

captain. Spwr Tracy won the election by a single vote. I was

about to announce my tally when... The sight of Tracy that the moment,

affected me in a way I can't fully explain. Part of it was she was

spying but mostly it was her face. Who knew how high she would climb

in life. How many people would suffer because of her. I had to

And so justice, if not democracy, At number three, it is Miss Norbury

from Mean Girls. As well as scripting it, Tina Fay also stars

as Miss Norbury. Seeing teachers outside of school is like seeing

the dog walker on its hind legs. What's up, guys? Shopping? Just

here with my boyfriend. I'm joking. Sometimes older people make jokes.

It is a brilliant evocation of every out of school in County you

have had with a teacher. There should encounter. This has been

sufficiently awkward. See you tomorrow. That is bleak.

At number two, Mr Chips from Goodbye Mr Chips. There is an

undeniable charm to this British classic about their beloved teacher

looking back over his career. You would have to have a heart of stone

not to be moved by that final speech. I thought I heard you say...

I never had any children. But I have. 1,000 of them. 1,000s of them.

And they were all boys. And that number one, Miss Brodie

from the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Maggie Smith's teaching triumph in

the role that would have her Best actress Oscar. A woman in her

private 1930s Edinburgh miss Brodie believes in truth, beauty. Observed

Stanley Baldwin. He got in as Prime Minister and got out again. Our

headmistress retained him on the walls because she believes in

safety first. Safety does not come first. Goodness, truth and beauty

come first. Miss Jean Brodie believes in an art, truth, beauty

and, unfortunately, fascism. Benito Mussolini, ill Duce A. The leader

Supreme. A Roman worthy of his heritage, the greatest Roman of

them all. Brilliant choice. I had a teacher

very much like that. We have to read out some tweets. Gazza says

the best teacher is yoga. Quite a few Henry Winkler in Scream. And

Mathilde. I would like to give another shared out two Election. --

share Ted. Cancel everything this year, just watch Election.

Sebastian Coe has said yes. Next, We Bought A Zoo, directed by

Cameron Crowe and starring Matt You don't have to take a picture. A

why not? Because we are going to live here. The story is about a man

who is a widower with two children and is just looking for a new life

for himself and for his kids. place is perfect. Why didn't you

mention it earlier? It is complicated. Complicated is OK.

What is so complicated? Well, you see... It is a zoo. A zoo?

The through line is the story of this guy who takes on a huge

project that seems a little bit unwieldy and crazy.

I would like to declare us all modern-day adventurers. And

sponsors of animal greatness. OK, terrific.

People will be able to relate to times in their life when they felt

a bit overwhelmed and had a chance to kind of make the leap like this.

That is the posture of a quitting man. He is like your brother, or

your best friend. You just believe everything he says

and you believe that he knows you and you know him. Welcome to your

Zoo. The this is what you want, not what I want. At the risk a stating

the obvious, you are insane. good, thanks. Phyllis that? That is

Kelly. Dump the animals, keep Kelly, that is true joy.

He will walk out and think, I didn't expect to go to that place

and care about those people and miss them a little bit. And that is

what I hope happens with We Bought I don't have a lot, but I do have

enough. If you stick with me, I will give this everything. A like

the animals but I love the humans. -- I like. All you need is 25

seconds of insane courage and I promise you something great will

come of it. The only word I can find to

describe how I felt after this movie is "Molested". Cameron Crowe

is so keen to get his hands on your heart strings and give them a

plaque, but the problem is the story does not have enough drama,

so it keeps falling back on the same things. You have that child

who always looks like she is on the verge of breaking out in songs from

Annie, areas glum looking animals, and more than anything else, we

have the Icelandic music. And don't get me wrong, I like that music a

lot, but anybody who likes it will know that the whole point of the

band is they can make the scaling a kettle in two and potentially --

emotionally intense experience. Cameron Crowe is not the first

person to realise what that kind of music can do, they are run every

advert on British TV, so what should be a big feel-good movie

about the loss feels like a mobile phone advert with the waft of

chopped onions coming through the cinema. Or am I wrong? Well,

highlighted more than you, which wouldn't be difficult. -- I like it.

I am themed. I got so excited by the idea I could work in a zoo. But

I got involved. Never mind that, I like Matt Damon and I love some of

other Cameron Crowe's films. -- at the other. The problem with this if

you like is that the story is so fascinating and so tender, about a

man who loses his wife far too young and goes and rebuild his life,

that it doesn't need the extras shmaltz. It is so schmaltzy at

times. I did solve a lot in it, but I felt a bit like I had been had.

That I did cry. Matt Damon is good, Scarlett Johansson is good. The

only problem is there weren't enough animals. They didn't buy a

zoo, they bought three animals. Matt Damon is the saving grace, he

is so sturdy and likeable, but he has to be because the character he

is playing makes no sense. Although Benjamin Mee is a real person,

nothing adds up. He is playing a character he is pretty much left in

sole charge of his kids and Jacques his job in. Anybody knows that is

the first thing you do when you are in sole control of your child. He

also spent time with Scarlett Johansson making goo goo eyes at

him and he doesn't even notice. And on the subject of Scarlett

Johansson, and talking about the zoo keepers, I have been to a zoo,

I have seen zoo keepers, it doesn't mean it deeper to in a fleece, I

will believe she is a zoo-keeper -- if you put it. The rest of them

look like they have smokers do? Her stars of almost famous are there as

a stark warning as to what will happen if you work with Cameron

Crowe. There is a scene where the bear is depressed, and tries to

escape, running away thinking can I not work with the man who made The

Artist? There will be behind the scenes but it with Matt Damon

trying to do the same thing and Cameron Crowe with a tranquilliser

gun dragging him back by his feet. Shall we move on? I am scared by

that. We are gearing up for a summer full of comic book inspired

blockbusters. We take a look at why they are such big news.

If you like comic books and if you like films, and S the programme's

resident peak, you are in for a treat this summer. Comic-book

movies are huge in Hollywood. Over the last 10 years, they have taken

more than $6.5 billion at the US box-office alone, and this summer

could be the biggest yet with films written from the pages. It is

called The Avengers initiative. And first up, or The Avengers.

Characters like the whole, Iron Man, Thor and Captain America. -- the

Hulks. Then the amazing Spider-Man. The Reboot of the favourite word

slinger. The we all have secret, ones we keep than once that are

kept from us. And then the film are promises to be the biggest of the

year, The Dark Knight rises. Christopher Nolan's epic conclusion

to this gritty trilogy. There is a storm coming. Expect those three

alone to add on another $1 billion at least in what could be the most

successful year yet for comic books. Yet it hasn't always been this way.

The for Sam Raimi's Spider-Man broke box-office records in 2002,

Hollywood had hardly endeared itself to superheroes. Boasted,

they were cheap, canopy and contentious of their origins. Three

words, Batman and Robin. I want a car. Chicks feed a car. This is why

Superman works alone. So what changed? We asked people with the

inside track. The problem was overkill. They just could making

and making films, any property they could get their hands on, and

usually they just weren't done very well. One of the Marvel Comics made

indie -- a lot of the Marvel Comics film made in the 1980s and 1990s

have very low budgets, and people tried their best to be political,

but it just wasn't, it was doomed from the start. Computer graphics

really in the late 90s, early 00s, it opened up where people could

figure out what to do and could afford to do it. There hadn't been

a lot of comic book films that had used the comics, the emotion and

the story and the deep characterisation in the comics as

the jumping off point. Generally, it was the kind of guy that what

did yours four doing a comic-book movie -- did yours. Then the good

guys came in. As the profile has risen, so has the Caliber of

director. Many have made comic-book films that a silenced critics that

think comic books are just the kids. -- that have. A lot of kids there

are comic book films themselves and can be appreciated by the World at

large. They also hated when people screw around with them. People

started to take up and -- sit up and take notice when big directors

came in, and then Christopher Nolan and people coming through. There

are certainly a lot more peaks in the upper office than there used to

be, and that has certainly helped. Things like The Dark Knight and

Batman Begins, they hit something special. They seemed to be coming

at it from not a desire to raise the comic book up, just a desire to

tell a great story and be as mature as they possibly can be. It is

despite it is a comic book. audiences ever more sophisticated.

What they want is not only to be entertained but they want to think

as well. But there is an ominous threat on the horizon. Will

audiences get sick of the seemingly never ending onslaught of bigger,

more lavish blockbusters? Will the comic book move the bubble burst?

lot of people have been anticipating the collapse of the

comic-book movie but if anything, it seems to get bigger. It is like

a monster, nothing we have ever seen. The superman symbol is one of

the most recognised in the world, everybody knows these characters,

and successive generations Cape coming back to them. We have been

publishing at Marvel Comics, 50, 100 comic every month, every month

for 60 years. That is a lot of stories. The bobble hat and burst

yet. Can we turn everyone into a movie? Of course not -- the bubble

has not burst. But it can last for a long time. The trick is that if

you tell the story well enough, people will want to see it, even if

they think it has all of the ingredients are something they are

not interested in. I think the bubble can burst, I love -- hate to

sound like Gordon Brown, but I think it is impossible, because

comics is not a genre, it is a medium. Frankly, it is hard to see

it happening. The about of adaptations -- and those moaning

about the lack of variety, it is not all about people in spandex

punching figure people in spandex. With 2013 bringing us Superman and

more, it is clearly the capes, masks and tights that are not going

away. And that is super. No, Next once upon a time -- Once Upon

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 81 seconds

A Time In Anatolia, a Turkish crime As we were watching that I could

feel us getting lost into it again. I think, before we talk about it

and it is brilliant. Some of it is beautiful. We should tell people it

is long. Long and proud of it. know, and you adore it. I want to

say out loud it is about two-and-a- half hours. You have to let it wash

over you. It is phenomenonally slow as well. The thing is it takes you

by suprise. It is just after sunset and you have a couple of murder

suspects to go and find a body. You think it's a crime thriller, a cop

movie but after a while, they can't find the body and you have a crew

of people. You have the prosecutor, soldier, a doctor, the suspect, all

tooling round the Turkish countryside trying to find the body.

You think, the cops are making small talk about biscuits and you

think it is a strange dark comedy, then they still can't find the body

and the night goes on, as dawn approaches you realise it is

something es, the rambling road movie, it is about life-and-death.

The title is a nod to once upon a time in the west, the classic from

1968. Couldn't be more different. They have an epic quality. It is,

it is a two-and-a-half hour Turkish movie in which really not much

happens apart from people talking. But it is fantastic cinema. It

looks incredible. And there is a depth to it. So, I... Two-and-a-

half hours long. It will stay longer in the mind. What is your

film of the week? I am going to say Once Upon A Time In Anatolia and 21

Jump Street, they are both in their ways fantastic movies. I think

people should take the chance to have the weirdest double bill and

see them both. How about you? Probably 21 Jump Street. Yes, both.

Once Upon A Time In Anatolia is on limited nationwide release from

Friday 16th March. Log on to the website to find out where it will

be showing. Now the questionnaire. This week it is Olivia Williams.

There was a generation of buddy movies that I haven't -- I have an

infinite capacity for. I love The Man Who Would Be King. The Sting.

And I love Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid. What is your idea

this time? Bolivia. What is Bolivia? Bolivia, that is a country

stupid: I love the moment, I love the humour in them, I love the

relationship between them. I think it has set off something in my life

of wanting to be a boy. What I love about Paul Newman he had enormous

fiscal humour, that was just made all the more astonish -- aston

anywhereing by his beautiful good I saw as I think most kids of my

generation did, Paper Moon, and wanted to be Tatum O'Neill and

wanted Ryan O'Neal to be my dad. # Keep your sunny side up, up #

Subsequent events have shown that might have been a bad choice of

both life and parenting. They look like they are having such fun but

there was such drama and love, and disappointment, and euphoria in

their story and relationship. It is a kind of buddy movie where the

girl gets to function on equal footing, and sort of asexual

function with the school bloke. What did you find out? He keeps it

in a bin outback. How big it is? big as our car. There is a shack

but he didn't go in it. Honey, how about a walk before daddy puts you

into bed. Goody. It was the fact she got to be mischievous and the

fact she was tough and could, you know, struck a good deal. He was a

tomboy. You are too young to smoke. You will set the place on fire. --

she was a tomboy. Tess. The moment when Tess decides that she will

tell her future husband what happened to her, and the note

instead of sitting on the doormat slips under it and he never sees it.

And that was unbearable. I know plans sci -- plans I can came under

tact for casting Natasha kins I can, I think she did it very beautifully.

I don't know if it was because I was impressionable. Perhaps I could

climb along the back. I have gone to this trouble for your sake

alone.. Polanski is very knowledgeable about Hardy and the

novels but has a tremendously instinctive emotional response to

things. I just wish I could have been Liz ya minutely as Sally bowls

in that astonishing movie. thought there might be a room to

rent here. Not too expensive I hope. Amazing scene where he says screw

max millian. Screw max millian. So do I. To be able to say those

lines and have that revelation, yeah, I want to play the part, I

want to sing the song, dance the dance and wear the costumes but I

think it would be very embarrassing if I ever did. That is all for

tonight. Next week's show will be on Tuesday and we will be reviewing

the hunger game, wild bill and The Pirates, plus we will take a look

at the summer blockbusters coming your way. Playing us out is pusher.

It is in cinemas this August. Thank you very much for watching. Good

night. Good night. Frankie my friend. Got to get hold of some

money. Got a batch coming in. much? That's a lot of gear. Frankie.

You're my friend. This way you'll get the three grand quicker. OK.

the deal. Come back with the money. Don't have the dope, and I don't
