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