:00:21. > :00:32.To take us through this week's To
:00:32. > :00:35.releases, Mark Kermode. Very diverse week, we have Formula One race
:00:35. > :00:37.drivers Niki Lauda's and gyms aren't going head to head in Rush. —— James
:00:38. > :00:40.Hunt. Hunt.
:00:40. > :00:46.We have Jackie Robinson leaking the We have Jackie Robinson leaking the
:00:46. > :00:51.colour bar in the 42 and Olympus fallen has that micro—Olympus has
:00:51. > :00:56.fallen again in White House Down. Rush, I have seen it, I thought it
:00:56. > :01:01.was wonderful. That is slightly prejudicing what you are going to
:01:01. > :01:05.say. Not at all, the story in place people don't know, though there has
:01:05. > :01:10.been so much publicity how could you not two it is a drama directed by
:01:10. > :01:18.Ron Howard, written by Peter Morgan, about the personality clash between
:01:18. > :01:24.James Hunt and Niki Lauda, Rob portrayed as black and white, one
:01:24. > :01:28.called, one heart, both on and off the track. There is a clip. —— one
:01:28. > :01:33.cold, one hot. I have cold, one hot. I have never
:01:33. > :01:43.understood what that means, I love my job, I love competing, racing.
:01:43. > :01:46.Maybe you should ask Niki. Are you feeling pressure? Do I look
:01:47. > :01:53.like I'm fuelling pressure? I am world champion and I am on the verge
:01:53. > :01:55.of winning again. Hunt has the chance to be jumping but he has
:01:55. > :01:58.of winning again. Hunt has the believe it.
:01:58. > :02:02.James, is there anything you would like to ask? If Niki is being tricky
:02:02. > :02:06.and getting a kick out of mind games, I am flattered. As the moment
:02:06. > :02:16.is with me, I have never felt better and fully express —— expect the next
:02:16. > :02:16.conference will have me as world champion.
:02:16. > :02:21.Obviously when you start talking champion.
:02:21. > :02:24.about Formula One characters you immediately think about Ayrton
:02:24. > :02:32.Senna, the brilliant documentary which I loved. I know very little
:02:32. > :02:43.broadly, specifically towards people Senna was the introduction. As
:02:43. > :02:45.broadly, specifically towards people who do not understand Formula One,
:02:45. > :02:47.overhear people have a certain knowledge but in America it seems a
:02:47. > :02:49.foreign country. foreign country.
:02:49. > :02:52.Although this is a British driven production, Ron Howard is a
:02:52. > :02:55.Hollywood direction —— director Hollywood direction —— director and
:02:55. > :03:09.has one eye on the grandstand. It plays with very bold brushstrokes.
:03:09. > :03:17.Chris Hemsworth is very broad, he is like Austin Powers. And Daniel Bruhl
:03:17. > :03:22.it was gripping, partly because of it was gripping, partly because of
:03:22. > :03:25.the sound. It is absolutely amazing. Also, I knew what happened because I
:03:25. > :03:28.remember the story but I loved it. Even though I knew what happened,
:03:28. > :03:31.which is unusual, when you know the which is unusual, when you know the
:03:31. > :03:37.ending of a picture, which is basically biographical. Ron Howard
:03:37. > :03:40.obviously did a similar thing with Apollo 13, where everyone knew how
:03:40. > :03:49.it worked out, that is a real talent of head. —— Ron Howard.
:03:49. > :03:55.Sometimes the voice—over commentary feels rather Basil exposition. But I
:03:55. > :03:59.think it will play to a mainstream audience, it has a chance of finding
:03:59. > :04:02.an audience that would not go and see a Formula One film, I know a
:04:02. > :04:06.couple of people who know nothing about it but have seen it and really
:04:06. > :04:08.liked it, and it is a ripping thrill ride. Ron Howard is nothing if not a
:04:08. > :04:10.populist, and that is not a populist, and
:04:10. > :04:18.real talent. 42, and Jackie criticism. If you can do it, it is
:04:18. > :04:21.real talent. 42, and Jackie Robinson, and a problem for British
:04:21. > :04:22.viewers is understanding the iconic staters of a black guy playing in
:04:22. > :04:32.baseball, it was huge for the time, baseball, it was huge for the time,
:04:32. > :04:40.wasn't it two? It really was. What you have here is the story playing
:04:40. > :04:43.it again, Harrison Ford is there as Chadwick Bozeman —— and Chadwick
:04:43. > :04:44.Bozeman, also. What is interesting is it is played
:04:44. > :04:48.very straight. The director, it is very straight. The director, it
:04:48. > :04:59.is really enjoyable, his voice has almost as
:04:59. > :05:02.is really enjoyable, his voice has become very gravelly of late. He is
:05:02. > :05:06.chewing the scenery and enjoying it, it is a historically important
:05:06. > :05:09.piece. My only criticism is it is so extraordinarily added that have
:05:09. > :05:14.liked the movie to be less ordinary. But it is firmly built, if
:05:14. > :05:21.unremarkable film about remarkable story. Part of the difficulty is
:05:21. > :05:26.that it is quite difficult to get your head around that during this
:05:26. > :05:31.time this happened, and African American player could not play
:05:31. > :05:34.major—league baseball. The really horrible thing is the
:05:34. > :05:37.institutionalised thing, where the pull up at a court stop and he
:05:37. > :05:44.cannot use the same bathroom, that is the recent past comparatively.
:05:44. > :05:48.White House Down, how much can you blow up the White House? Right at
:05:48. > :05:55.joke about that is the building they joke about that is the building they
:05:55. > :05:59.blew up in Independence Day. The story is Channing Tatum, he is a
:05:59. > :06:03.wannabe Secret Service agent who goes to the White House, bad guys
:06:03. > :06:04.take over and next thing he is saving the president who has a
:06:04. > :06:15.rocket launcher. We have to punch hole in this fence
:06:15. > :06:21.soon we are dead in the water. There is a weapons locker in the back.
:06:21. > :06:29.Jackpot! That is what I am talking about! Get me to the fence! I know
:06:29. > :06:31.you are into peace and that, but you have to stick that thing out there
:06:31. > :06:35.and go to work. Dam right! the bodies is the president two
:06:36. > :06:52.goes! where someone says I think that is
:06:52. > :06:54.launcher, you don't see that every launcher,
:06:54. > :06:56.day. But you see it every day in a day. But you see it every day in a
:06:56. > :07:11.Roland Emmerich film. It has day. But you see it every day in a
:07:11. > :07:12.I think Roland Emmerich was finding it funny, as well. It is an awful
:07:12. > :07:15.lot of money to spend making lot of money to spend making
:07:15. > :07:21.something essentially an extended joke, but if you want big, dumb,
:07:21. > :07:24.stupid popcorn fun and fought Olympus has fallen was boringly
:07:24. > :07:27.straightfaced and turgid, this is laugh out loud funny most of the way
:07:27. > :07:33.through, and again that is not a criticism but a good movie, a funny
:07:33. > :07:37.movie. Big, dumb, stupid, that sounds great for a wet weekend.
:07:37. > :07:44.Although it is a flop. And your pick of the week?
:07:45. > :07:50.I don't think many people have seen it, it is a small movie, the reason
:07:50. > :07:54.I really like it is because the soundtrack is absolutely
:07:54. > :07:58.fascinating. Ain't them bodies since, if you like the soundtrack in
:07:58. > :08:04.winter is born in which the useful and blues music, this has something
:08:04. > :08:08.of that. Casey Affleck is terrific, the title is enigmatic, Casey
:08:08. > :08:14.Affleck says the title is a misheard song lyric. To interject a slight
:08:14. > :08:20.criticism, doesn't Casey Affleck's delivery put a fossil to sleep? Do
:08:20. > :08:23.you think? I kind of think so. It is set in the early 70s and it is a
:08:23. > :08:27.very 70s movie. If you look at 70s very 70s movie. If you look at 70s
:08:27. > :08:32.movies that is what... This is much later.
:08:32. > :08:39.Thinking in terms of a very slow voice—over, dances with Wolves has
:08:39. > :08:43.that. This is edited in the way people used to edit movies, I have a
:08:43. > :08:47.shot, I am holding a shot, it is not going anywhere. I like that, but I
:08:47. > :08:49.movie that does something more than movie that
:08:49. > :08:56.quartering people. I think blowing quartering people. I think blowing
:08:56. > :08:59.up the White House is my movie of the week. I manfully. He is now the
:08:59. > :09:03.biggest single superhero franchise on screen, taking into account the
:09:03. > :09:05.Marvel avengers. I monthly is more of the same. Robert Downey Junior is
:09:05. > :09:08.a very funny as a very funny as iron man.
:09:08. > :09:09.He does a good job of balancing very knowing.
:09:10. > :09:19.action and very knowing.
:09:19. > :09:24.I went into the movie not expecting much but I think the trilogy works
:09:24. > :09:28.rather well. That is an interesting point bash with these kinds of
:09:28. > :09:29.movies how would you know, this whole kind of thing that nobody
:09:30. > :09:32.knows anything in Hollywood, it is knows anything in Hollywood, it is
:09:32. > :09:39.kind of surprising ironman is the biggest. It is really odd, you would
:09:39. > :09:42.not think the numbers would add up not think the numbers would add up
:09:42. > :09:44.like that. When Robert Downey Junior was first cast, everyone thought,
:09:44. > :09:47.and as iron man two he is not that kind of actor, but he does a really
:09:47. > :09:53.good job, that fast talking thing works really well. Mark, thank you
:09:53. > :09:57.very much. That is it for this —— is this week, but you can find more
:09:57. > :10:02.news and reviews across BBC online, including all our previous shows.
