:00:19. > :00:25.To take us through the cinema releases of this week, Mark Kermode.
:00:26. > :00:36.We have 22 Jump Street, the sequel to 21 Jump Street which
:00:37. > :00:38.was the spin off of the kitsch TV show.
:00:39. > :00:41.And we also have Frutvale Station, the harrowing retelling
:00:42. > :00:51.Now, we have Princess Grace and Nicole Kidman saving the state of
:00:52. > :00:55.Monaco for millionaires who want to evade tax?
:00:56. > :01:01.When Grace of Monaco opened in Cannes, the phrase everyone said
:01:02. > :01:10.The story is essentially that begins with Grace Kelly filming
:01:11. > :01:17.There's a crisis going on, in Algiers.
:01:18. > :01:25.The French think they would like a tax.
:01:26. > :01:28.In the middle of this, Alfred Hitchcock wants Grace Kelly
:01:29. > :01:30.to go back to Hollywood and film Marnie.
:01:31. > :01:42.Who told you to cut it? Who told you to cut it that short?
:01:43. > :01:54.She isn't, she's a princess of Monaco.
:01:55. > :01:57.Oh, come on, you can't can't be the great moderniser and...
:01:58. > :02:01.We will make a show of how happy you are.
:02:02. > :02:26.I didn't make you marry me. What can Hollywood give you that I can't.
:02:27. > :02:30.It's just a movie. You were just an actress.
:02:31. > :02:37.All the time you are watching the movie, you are wondering
:02:38. > :02:41.if it is deliberately unbelievably stilted or is it some homage to the
:02:42. > :02:46.You think, nobody could have made a movie this bad by mistake?
:02:47. > :02:50.We get the Grace Kelly quote of, my life as a fairy tale is
:02:51. > :02:54.Then we get the worst fairy tale, the director and writer said they
:02:55. > :02:59.In this fairy tale, what happened is that Grace Kelly bats her eyelids
:03:00. > :03:02.at Charles de Gaulle who appears to be blockading Monaco to stop
:03:03. > :03:08.And then she says she believes in fairies and everyone says,
:03:09. > :03:17.You are watching, thinking there must be some underlying...
:03:18. > :03:21.This will tie it all back to reality.
:03:22. > :03:27.Nicole Kidman, it is not entirely her fault.
:03:28. > :03:33.Every minute of the film, her `` the camera is in her face.
:03:34. > :03:40.But every time we back off, we get Tim Roth doing
:03:41. > :03:45.We get the most character `` caricatured
:03:46. > :03:54.I can see why people who are interested
:03:55. > :03:58.But getting cross with it is foolish.
:03:59. > :04:04.It is such a spectacularly ill`conceived meringue of a film.
:04:05. > :04:07.All you can do is sit there, slack`jawed.
:04:08. > :04:11.Often, when films play in Cannes and critics react very badly,
:04:12. > :04:20.To have been in the room seeing this for
:04:21. > :04:32.Right, 21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street ` what will they think of
:04:33. > :04:49.One of the funniest part of this film is the end credits sequence.
:04:50. > :04:52.This film does the whole thing about where do we go next with
:04:53. > :04:58.21 Jump Street was taken from a TV show. It was a parody
:04:59. > :05:01.Channing Tatum was at the centre of it.
:05:02. > :05:04.The first movie did much better than anybody expected, let's just do
:05:05. > :05:07.That gag was done in Muppets: Most Wanted.
:05:08. > :05:11.The sequel is not as good as the original.
:05:12. > :05:15.However, it is funny enough that it can get away with it.
:05:16. > :05:18.The final sequence is funny but I have the rule
:05:19. > :05:22.about comedy that you have to laugh six times for it to count.
:05:23. > :05:34.It is not brilliant, but does the job.
:05:35. > :05:37.The action sequences, you don't need them.
:05:38. > :05:48.And if you are bored with the World Cup, this is something else.
:05:49. > :05:50.And this is two thirds as funny as the original.
:05:51. > :06:13.It is about the shooting of Oscar Grant on New Year's Day in 2009. We
:06:14. > :06:17.start with the cell phone footage and we go in time.
:06:18. > :06:31.You know what, baby, they are just firecrackers.
:06:32. > :06:33.You are safe inside with your cousins.
:06:34. > :06:45.I tell you what, when we get up in the morning, we will play.
:06:46. > :06:48.And then after that, guess what we'll do?
:06:49. > :07:08.Daddy will then get your favourite pizza.
:07:09. > :07:18.We'll get something for Mummy because she can't have carbs.
:07:19. > :07:24.`` we will eat money's because she can't have carbs.
:07:25. > :07:27.The story is shocking and it is a somewhat unremarkable film and it
:07:28. > :07:31.There is an awful, overwhelming sense that you are moving towards
:07:32. > :07:37.But I think the film itself is not an extraordinary piece of work.
:07:38. > :07:44.But the central performance is a genuine rising star performance.
:07:45. > :07:51.The thrust of the film is to engage you with the central character.
:07:52. > :08:06.He is flawed but you are interested him `` interested in him.
:08:07. > :08:16.The actor does a good job of fleshing it out.
:08:17. > :08:19.Now, your best of the week is Ken Loach's film.
:08:20. > :08:40.Jimmy's Hall is a story set in Ireland in he set up the hall as a
:08:41. > :08:44.He was run out of town by the clergy.
:08:45. > :09:03.It is an important story with a solid historical backdrop.
:09:04. > :09:05.But highlighted as a movie. The way users dance and movie,
:09:06. > :09:08.the characters are engaging and likeable and not two`dimensional.
:09:09. > :09:10.There is interesting conversations between the two central characters.
:09:11. > :09:13.They are at loggerheads, on opposite sides of the political spectrum.
:09:14. > :09:18.But also, there was one scene where Jimmy dances with his old sweetheart
:09:19. > :09:21.who has gone of with someone else and nothing happens.
:09:22. > :09:25.Ken Loach gets accused of making didactic movies but they are not.
:09:26. > :09:28.He engages with real stories, he's interested in history and politics.
:09:29. > :09:31.But more important he is interested in real people.
:09:32. > :09:43.That is probably why your next choice is Le Passe, the past.
:09:44. > :09:55.Set in France, it is a story about people in crisis.
:09:56. > :09:57.A fantastic central performance by Isabel Huppert.
:09:58. > :10:04.I thought it was a wonderful piece of work.
:10:05. > :10:15.More films and reviews of from Mark on his blog.
