Zoolander 2, Deadpool, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Film 2016

And it's a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen's

Pride and Prejudice does not feature Zombies.

Plus Will Smith knocks heads together in medical drama

And we're also joined by critic Rhianna Dhillon.

15 years ago, the world was introduced to Derek Zoolander -

Now the creator of poses such as Magnum and Blue Steel

He was once the world's most famous male model. But that was a long,

long time ago. Derek Zoolander! It has been a long time. Yes. Not long

enough. Derek and Hansel have been out of the limelight for 15 years. I

am with Interpol and we need your help. She is hot and I trust. Were

called back by Penelope Cruz to help solve this sinister plot where the

superstars of the world are being gunned down. Six pop stars have died

in the last year, all with that look... Peace out, world. There is

only one criminal mastermind who could be behind this. I am bad to

the core! Meanwhile, Mugatu has been locked up in the fashion prison.

Where is my coffee? And he is full of hatred. And he wants to seek out

the engines. Not only on Derek but the entire fashion world, which we

meet... My character! Alexandria, she is the one who tells everybody

what is trendy. You two are amazing. The character was supposed to

mispronounce words due to all of the plastic surgery. Her mouth does not

move much. So we just went with that. Kind of Russian, somewhere

along the line. I'm sorry, I cannot understand one word you are saying!

Toss me the knife! You've got it! Oh! We thought it would be fun to do

a sequel to the first movie that nobody wanted, because they did not

go to see the movie. Old? We can honestly say that nobody saw the

first movie and then it was one of these things work DVD-R and cable

television, it built up this cult following, which was too strong to

ignore. I guess fashion has changed. Argue like a male model or female?

All is all. Do you have a hot dog or a long? A lot has changed in fashion

and technology, the rise of social media but one thing these guys find

has not changed is it still helps to be ridiculously good-looking. He

seems like a nice guy. You seem like an idiot. What do you think? If you

are old enough to know Derek Zoolander from 2001 you will be old

enough to be scared by modern life, just like Derek 's a lot of the

jokes about him coming to terms with this terrifying world of Netflix and

Uber. I cannot say all of them because of product placement! It is

strange because the first film, there was no audience waiting for it

so it felt free and joyful and you would meet people at parties and you

would do lose deal and you had a friend for life! Like the Masons!

You would not have gotten in -- Blue Steel. This time there is this huge

marketing budget and the designers and models are in on it and it is

funny stuff but it also feels a little self-conscious, like a movie

taking a selfie of itself and it feels stiff, like a forehead with

Botox! I am aware that the clip makes it look like funniest film of

all time. There are some very funny moments and though the lead

characters are fantastic, I fell in love with Penelope Cruz yet again.

Incredible chest! I thought that Kristen Wiig was fantastic. She was

channelling Versace and I thought that was inspired and she will have

improvised every single line, and brilliant. I am over Will Ferrell as

Mugatu, I was never a project eagerly with him, I get quite bored

with his thing, he just talks very fast and hopes that something will

stick. That is what I do! Welcome to our world! I think you are both

being unfair, I thought the cameos, is that the most... I am not

obsessed with fashion but there is one scene and you go, it really is

Wang and Kate Moss! Some of it pinpoints this, Christian Wade, and

it does get to be 90s, that pastiche of the 90s, that advertisement for a

one emotion with Derek and Naomi Campbell, the essence of 90s in

those 30 seconds. I just kept thinking that I know that Ben

Stiller does not really want to be doing this, he wants to be a

director and he has been making great films for 20 years. I

disagree! I think you wanted to... There is the cameo of the dirty DJ,

I thought this was better than Zoolander. But I got more of the

references in this one than what I did in 2001, when I was 12. Why say

that! There is this wonderful Tiger Arbeit hipsters, films being so

massive, yes... Kiefer Sutherland. Acting against type, they get the

cameos right and Kiefer Sutherland pretending to be pregnant, that was

excellent. It does not work when the cameos are self-aware, perhaps.

There is some funny stuff. I loved it!

Next, Ryan Reynolds is foul-mouthed, Marvel anti-hero Deadpool.

Stuck in development hell for almost a decade,

this superhero movie is not your usual man

I love you. We can fight this. You are right. Cancer only affects my

prostate and brain, things I can live without. We can make it better.

You are a fighter. We can give you abilities most men only dream of.

Make you a Subito. Promise you will do right by me. Please do not make

the soup green or animated. Posh spice. Come on, you will leave me

alone with less angry Rosie O'Donnell is Mike!

Wait! You might be wondering why the red suit but that is so that the bad

guys cannot see me bleeding. This man has got the right idea, he wore

guys cannot see me bleeding. This the brown pants. Daddy needs to

express some rage! --

the old lady pants and here. It What did you think? This made me

laugh more than I expected, What did you think? This made me

has some moody girl, some hot What did you think? This made me

instead of their actual names, everything is an in joke and very

sure of itself and I thought that was brilliant.

sure of itself and I thought that Deadpool breaks the fourth wall and

makes a joke about breaking the fourth wall. Normally I would hate

that when actors talk to me, I despise that but here, he made it

work although perhaps he could have maybe done at several times less?

You are not keen? It is so pleased with itself that even if I like it,

it is like going on a date with somebody who keeps looking anywhere!

You are pleasant, you have done something good but... They are

loving themselves. You take a deep breath before you talk about a film

like Deadpool because there is an army of fans of the comic who are

convinced this is the greatest film ever, and if you get on the wrong

side of that, they can say nasty things on message boards! The relief

is I think it is very good, it takes a lot of risks and they pay off. The

expression on your face! It is crude... Some parts are very funny.

People were howling with laughter but I think also there are moments

when you go, just stop! There is a whiff of smug. Another Ryan Reynolds

makes a joke about being Ryan Reynolds? Those things are

condiments in this context, this scatter-gun, taking aim at

everything, the later recordings of Wham!, X-Men movies. And the acting

talent of Ryan Reynolds. I think that works a charm. Ryan Reynolds

had something of Jim Kerry about him. In the beginning, talking from

behind with his hands up. That kind of set piece and like, I can see

that appealing to a massive fan base. Normally with superhero films,

there is a cosmic absence of a sense of humour and you can see the

executives, the budgets are very high, you can almost save set, so

the executives being very nervous about how this will pay off and this

film seems like it has the feel of something which was made without

that interference and they keep making one of the many in jokes

about the lack of any budget! But the lack of a budget, you can see

that, is the blessing. And this thing is marvel with a twist of

South Park. And they did the independent film

thing with and man. It is nice they have taken a step back. And there

are bit in it but were very funny, but when you talk about being

self-conscious, because you said zoo lander was self-conscious, and I

felt that it wasn't. They have made this to make us laugh, and that is

all they want to do, but this is so self-conscious. I sit completely

opposite, and isn't it refreshing to have a superhero who is interested

in women, so you are not Christian Bale, silently brooding your tomb of

torment and despair, you are engaging with the opposite sex! Yes,

although they did have to make her a stripper! To me it felt like a film

which was dating a couple of steps forward. But at least the plot was

quite simple and I could follow it, unlike Avenges 2, I couldn't follow

that. Will Smith stars as a doctor

determined to expose the truth about the hidden dangers

of American football, Hearts in Pittsburgh are broken over

the loss of Michael Webster who suffered from mental illness. Why

does an apparently healthy famous son of the city die in disgrace that

50? Concussion is about Bennet Omalu, who was one of the first to

discover this type of Concussion which many American footballers were

suffering from. Repetitive head trauma chokes the brain. I think I

have found a disease that no one has ever seen before. He sections Mike

Webster's brain, and find out about CTE, but Wright is all the way. If

you don't speak for the dead, who will? The film has that David and

Goliath quality way he inadvertently takes on the big corporation.

Football is the beating heart of America. You are going to war with a

corporation that owns the day of the week that the church used to own. It

is that big corporate machine that doesn't want its will disrupt did,

and this man stands up to it, it is inspiring. If just 10% of the

mothers in America decide that football is too dangerous for their

sons to play, that is the end. If you continue to deny my work, the

world will deny my work. But men, your men, continue to die, their

families left in ruins. Tell the truth. Tell the truth!

His journey was like my grandfather's journey out of the

Ukraine, someone who wanted to better themselves who saw the United

States as a step. When I was a boy growing up in Nigeria, heaven was

here. And America was here. And his desire

was merely to be a citizen, tell the truth, do the job well, contribute

to society, and these were very simple, very American concepts. If

he walked away and kept his mother shot, I don't think many people

would have blamed him. What is happening now, what you think they

are doing to you, it is nothing. They will be doing your autopsy. It

all looks very rousing, but Concussion is a nervous film,

because it ran the risk of getting on the wrong side of the NFL, they

are the people in America that God doesn't want to get on the wrong

side of, so the script feels like it has come with huge chunks of it

redacted. If you are going to stand there as Will Smith and demand that

people tell the truth, you need to tell the truth yourself a little

more often and possibly a bit louder than this film. Do you think it was

edited? By the NFL? There have been a lot of rumours, and a lot of stuff

came out in the Sony about the studio's enthusiasm for re-insuring

-- reassuring the anxieties of the NFL, to say. I just thought it was

incredibly boring. I don't understand how a film like this is

based on a lack of common sense, as if people don't know that smashing

your heads together doesn't cause some sort of mental illness, even if

we don't know what exactly that is. And that rarely frustratingly,

although I know it isn't the film's fault. It just made Americans or NFL

fans looking credibly stupid, as if it was some big revelation.

Interesting. I thought that it was a brilliant story. I think he is

Interesting. I thought that it was a fascinating, the real-life doctor,

and the work he did, and there is a brilliant scene where he was talking

about woodpeckers and brilliant scene where he was talking

looking after the brain, and I don't understand why that isn't the film I

saw. Yes, and that story about how America's national game reduces

these heroes to shambling America's national game reduces

but what the movie really wants to America's national game reduces

be is a vehicle for Will Smith, it America's national game reduces

introduced, but instead of finding out about the fascinating

introduced, but instead of finding who is the perfect doctor you want

not just when you are alive of somebody doing an impression of

Will Smith Ness, it of somebody doing an impression of

moment. And of somebody doing an impression of

Oscar which hasn't played out. And I think it was offensive towards the

actions of mental illness in this, they were so completely

actions of mental illness in this, and not realistic. If they

actions of mental illness in this, could have believed it more. They

were trying to Hollywood are mental illness, which you can't do. Is

there any saving grace? Yes, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, I groaned when she came

on, but I loved her in Belle, but she's far too good for

on, but I loved her in Belle, but and for Will Smith. She is

tremendous. Her part here, she comes in as the lodger, essentially. She

gets on the wrong in as the lodger, essentially. She

for watching the television. And then you see a ring on her finger

and she is pregnant, which is quite the precis of married life, it was a

little brisk! It certainly does. Next the genteel world

of Jane Austen is turned on its head Lily James and Sam Riley star

in a kick-ass tale of bonnets, balls and sword-wielding

zombie slaying. To succeed in polite society, a

young woman must be many things. Kind, well read and accomplished.

But to survive in the world as we know it, she will need other

qualities. It is pride and prejudice as we know

and love it, but how will that story change? How will the characters

differ if there is a zombie apocalypse? It began with the black

plague. Within weeks, the dead began to rise. This cannot be. The Pride

and Prejudice story stays intact, but it is heightened in this zombie

world. It is basically Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Jane Austin has a great sense of humour, and it is girl power. I

think she would fully approve. I shall never really wish my sword for

a ring. It is great to see five women get up and kick the zombies'

as. You don't feel like you have sacrificed Austin the zombies, you

feel like it has come together perfectly, and you think maybe we

could do this more. My daughter is in training for battle. But that

again is Jane Austin, it says her voice was that strong that it still

resonates. That person certainly finished. What

you think? There were elements I loved, because I am a Jane Austin

puritan, so when the sexual tension normally in adaptations is expressed

through dancing, it was a treat to see it done through fighting, that

fantastic proposal scene between Elizabeth and Mr Darcy, and Sam

Riley as Mr Darcy, although I wish he was so gravelly, I still kind of

wood. I love the way they fought out this huge argument, and I think her

breast nearly pops out at one point, and I think it is very hot and sexy.

If Jane Austin is missing anything, it is raunchy dress. If they are

going to make this, put it in, but who is this for? I don't know who

will actively wants to go out and see this. Young boys for the

zombies? It is not scary enough. And the Jane Austin lovers... Danny

doesn't look like he will be first in line. Look at that face. I think

it is far and easier, because they are the only people who will keep

coming back to the central gag which is, as they kept saying, even in a

two-minute clip, Pride and Prejudice but with zombies! You see that joke

hammered home time and time again, and it is explained very eloquently

in the credit sequence, and then 90 seconds, the film peaks, and you

could pop off at that point. Don't you find all very beautiful to look

at? There were certain scenes, normally in Jane Austin, they go off

to a lovely dance, but instead they have guns and Daggers. Again, I am a

middle-aged bloke, but is that girl power? The men appearing up their

skirts! It makes it a different kind of watch. I love the fight scenes.

Girl on girl fight scenes are so rare to see not sexualised. Sexy

fighting! Yes they are sisters, so they can't make it sexualised, it is

an territory, and I think that worked nicely, and I was just a big

fan of the fight scenes, not so much of the rest of the acting, though. I

thought it was weak. But talk about Matt Smith, because he is the best

thing in this film by a distance. He was in Ryan Gosling's Lost River. I

think only me and Ryan Gosling like that. I liked it! He plays the

parson, and... He is absolutely the Comic Relief, and it is much needed

in this. Needs to be a bit lighter if anything. He has the spirit of

carry -- Carry On. Film of the week? Deadpool. Zoolander 2.

Playing us out tonight is a new look at High Rise, JG Ballard's dystopian

For all its inconveniences, he was satisfied with life in the

high-rise, ready to move forward and explore life. How, exactly, he had

not yet decided. I'm so sorry. You are an excellent specimen. Come up

later and have a drink. You don't know how things work around here, do

you? I'm a fast learner. You built all this? I put all my energies into

this town, and the architect. Your husband appears intent on colonising

the sky, and who can blame him when you look at what is going on street

level. How is the highlight? Prone to fits of mania, narcissism and

power failure. We pay the same charges as the top floors, we want

our share of the park. Things would be better if we could afford to move

to a higher floor. I think we should be prepared to meet moderate

resistance. The ones who are the real danger of the self-contained

types like you. Perhaps you are right. What are you doing? What are

you doing in there? The building is still settling. Dozens it seem odd

that a man can fall from the 39th floor? What have you got there? A

kaleidoscope. What can you see through that thing? The future.
