Now, it is time for the film review. Hello and welcome to The Film | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Hello and welcome to The Film Review. To take us through the | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
releases is Anna Smith. I have been looking forward to Alan | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
Partridge: Alpha Papa, Steve Coogan brings his much loved character to | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
the big screen and Alan is thrust into a hostage situation. | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
Then we have Foxfire, the story of a girl gang in the 1950s. It is set in | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
upstate New York but we have a French correct, Laurent Cantet, and | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
then a film you may have heard of -- a French turret. He Lone Ranger, | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
famously a flop in the United States. -- a French director. How | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
was Alpha Papa? It is very good fun. It does not get too ambitious. It is | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
a hostage situation but it is still set in Norwich. It keeps it local to | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Alan. There is a hostage situation in the local radio station where he | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
works. A disgruntled former employee comes in, guns blazing. Alan is the | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
only one he will trust to negotiate. He uses it as an opportunity to | :01:34. | :01:44. | |
:01:44. | :01:52. | ||
circus? Pretty puffed up, like an owl. Let's hope you are wise.Nice, | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
you pitched it up, I knocked it out of the park. As far as the press is | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
concerned, you are the face of this siege. I am siege face. Exactly. I | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
:02:15. | :02:19. | ||
like you. He likes me! I have got to be quick. I am joking, enjoy me! | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
Everybody else is. I am with a hair's-breadth of getting the | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
breakfast show. I am going to call myself the morning rooster or the | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
:02:38. | :02:44. | ||
that. -- half a dozen times. He is thrown into this situation, you just | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
once to save his own skin but then he spies this opportunity when | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
ambition comes into play. Steve Coogan is still very funny in the | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
role and it is very faithful to his character. There are a couple of | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
things where he is wearing trendy trainers, maybe it is a big screen | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
thing but it is very funny. It keeps it true to the character. It is | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
brilliantly written, that is the key to the material. One thing I wonder, | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
we have Mr Bean, Norman Wisdom, these comic characters that sell | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
around the world and sell a bit of a British brand. I wonder if this | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
works anywhere else? A very good point. He is a bit of a Ricky Jay | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
face in the office character and he managed to export so let's hope they | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
don't do an American version. not sure that would work. Foxfire. | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
This is an interesting film, based on a book which was also made into a | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
film with Angelina Jolie. This is more faithful to the book, set in | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
1950s upstate New York about a group of girls who decide to take the law | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
into their own hands. When they feel abused and patronised by local men. | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
There are moral dilemmas, social issues, feminist issues. My problem | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
is the performances and perhaps the correction. Laurent Cantet in his | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
first English-language film, the dialogue seems a bit flat and I | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
can't help wondering if it was him still perhaps finding his feet, | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
directing American actresses. It is still worth a watch if the subject | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
that appeals. I know we will talk about The Heat but is it a girl | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
buddy movie? We had a lot of directors who seem to think older | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
audiences deserve to be entertained, a lot of films being called the | :04:39. | :04:47. | |
grave pound. Is this a new kind of sub John? -- genre? I don't incur | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
are particularly going for the girl buddy movie market. The characters | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
are not well drawn enough. It is more of an arthouse film that | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
happens to start winning and that is a wonderful thing, because it is so | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
rare. -- happens to star women. can't think of anything more | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
opposite to not film than The Lone Ranger. Yes, big budget, famously | :05:12. | :05:22. | |
losing money in the states. Armie Hammer plays The Lone Ranger and he | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
goes off searching for his brother. Johnny Depp is Tonto, Native | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
American Indian. This is a clip where they are forced to work | :05:31. | :05:41. | |
:05:41. | :05:44. | ||
together. It is the end of the line. Can we jump? Can they jump?There | :05:44. | :05:54. | |
:05:54. | :06:25. | ||
are children on board! You're not conclusion, not very exciting but it | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
isn't that bad. He reviews from America said it was awful. It is | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
fine, it is too long, it is torn between different worlds, trying to | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
be a comedy caper and then a serious western with cannibalism and all | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
sorts. But there are entertaining moments. The cast is good, the | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
costumes are great. The script could have done with a tidy up. You think | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
for 250 million they might have thought of making the script more | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
entertaining. I don't think you get your money 's worth but it is not | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
disastrous. You might think twice about taking the kids to a film that | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
long but it is enjoyable in parts. Is there a market for westerns? | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
Django unchained is very different. It is darker and grown-up. Cowboys | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
and aliens, wild wild West, famous flops. Hollywood does not seem to be | :07:16. | :07:25. | |
learning beef family Western. -- learning the family Western. Growing | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
up as a certain generation, you saw it on TV so you expected to see it | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
in the cinema. You don't really see it on TV. I don't think it has the | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
alert for young boys that it used to. Tickets selling for this in the | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
UK is an indicator. I think space, computer games, might be more | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
exciting. Comic heroes seem to do very well. Your pick of the week is | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
The Heat and we have two very good comedy films. Perfect for summer | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
viewing. The Heat is the girl in the movie. It is good fun, two | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
mismatched cops who hate each other and learn to work together. The plot | :08:06. | :08:15. | |
is legible but it is very funny. Seeing two women together... You | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
would not know it was Melissa McCarthy by looking at a pace -- the | :08:19. | :08:27. | |
poster, it looks a bit airbrushed. If it wasn't women, it would be a | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
cliche. I think that is the only thing that saves it. The | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
relationship between them is inherently different because they | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
are two women and they have different things to discuss. Your | :08:42. | :08:52. | |
DVD film of the week, Trance. a psychological film that had a | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
mixed reception, I really like it. James McAvoy is a criminal who asks | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
a hypnotist to help them recover its memory -- him recover his memory. | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
There are a lot of twists and turns and delving into his mind. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
critic said this is the Danny Boyle of the beach, not slum dog | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
millionaire, he did not mean it as a condiment. I enjoyed it, I'm | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
interested in hypnotism. -- did not mean it as a compliment. | :09:26. | :09:29. |
