:00:14. > :00:19.Now time for the film review. Hello and welcome to The Film Review
:00:20. > :00:27.on BBC News. To take us through this week's
:00:28. > :00:38.cinema releases is Jason Solomons. This week neighbours versus
:00:39. > :00:49.Twilight, Robert Pattinson and Guy Pearce star in the river. The
:00:50. > :00:54.outback of Australia. Then we look at, we do the time walk again, the
:00:55. > :01:01.expendables three. Some new blood, and they will split. Can Simon Pegg
:01:02. > :01:07.and Rosamond Pike find true happiness in Hector and the search
:01:08. > :01:11.for happiness? Let's kick off with the rover and Guy Pearce making a
:01:12. > :01:16.very long journey. The film is set in the outback in Australia. He
:01:17. > :01:20.cannot tell if they are post`apocalyptic or last week or in
:01:21. > :01:26.the near future. Mad Max is a kind of template. The film is called the
:01:27. > :01:30.rover and it is set ten years after the collapse. I don't know what the
:01:31. > :01:36.collapse is. England's middle order? It could be anything. There are long
:01:37. > :01:41.straight roads, someone has stolen Guy Pearce's car, he wanted back, he
:01:42. > :01:46.finds Robert Pattinson who says it is his brother 's car, so he takes
:01:47. > :01:49.Robert Pattinson hostage and they chased the car in a car along a long
:01:50. > :02:01.road occasionally having people shooting at them. Tell me where your
:02:02. > :02:17.brother is. He's gone south, a long way from here. I'm just going to get
:02:18. > :02:19.your T`shirt. Get up, we're leaving. That's what the lady says usually.
:02:20. > :02:42.Get up. What was that sound? There is a car
:02:43. > :02:51.coming. What car? I don't know. That is two cars. How long until they
:02:52. > :02:58.here? And then it may be. Who is it? Get your rifle. Do you know them? Go
:02:59. > :03:05.and get your rifle. I'm sensing some intensity. Yes, it is dropping and
:03:06. > :03:09.mysterious and atmospheric. The director 's debut was a brilliant
:03:10. > :03:13.Melbourne crime family drama called animal kingdom which is one of the
:03:14. > :03:18.best debuts of this century so far. This is as follow`up, is its
:03:19. > :03:23.difficult second album syndrome? Much greatness on display, a great
:03:24. > :03:28.feel for the outback and the mountains. These to the sized score
:03:29. > :03:33.we heard is excellent and airy. Guy Pearce is amazing. Robert Pattinson
:03:34. > :03:38.isn't too bad either. `` it is eerie. It is like Steinbeck, mice
:03:39. > :03:42.and men, and Lenny and George relationship. Robert Pattinson is a
:03:43. > :03:45.bit overcooked. I'm not sure why he's American and what he's doing in
:03:46. > :03:51.the outback. It starts off quite well then it keeps going and going
:03:52. > :03:54.and driving and driving with that existential and Stephen Spielberg
:03:55. > :03:58.does so well with two cars facing off against each other. Then it
:03:59. > :04:02.leads somewhere, I don't want a spoiler but the ending is such a let
:04:03. > :04:06.down it casts a pall over all of the good work done before. Then you
:04:07. > :04:10.say, that is where they were going? I don't want to ruin it by the end
:04:11. > :04:15.is not as good as it should've been. Guy Pearce has been on film
:04:16. > :04:18.driving around Australia in the past, in Priscilla Queen of the
:04:19. > :04:25.desert. This is clearly not Queen of the Desert. There are no frills. But
:04:26. > :04:29.Guy Pearce is very good. I enjoyed the film, I was left with a great
:04:30. > :04:36.frustration at the end, I found let down. You wanted a better ending.
:04:37. > :04:44.Maybe we could do one. `` I felt. The expendables three. I don't know
:04:45. > :04:46.if this has an ending. The ending is indistinguishable from the
:04:47. > :04:50.beginning. Lots of old people who were in films in the 80s were some
:04:51. > :04:53.new people blowing some stuff up. That is what they do, they blow
:04:54. > :04:59.building up, run to another building, blow it up, come home,
:05:00. > :05:03.make a bit, then go away again. There's a sort of story, Sylvester
:05:04. > :05:07.Stallone and his group of action cronies, Jason stated who for some
:05:08. > :05:21.reason is with the old guys but he is actually quite young. `` Jason
:05:22. > :05:24.Statham. They recruit Mel Gibson and Wesley Snipes. I think it is
:05:25. > :05:30.believed the only party is allowed in Hollywood, Mel Gibson, an evil
:05:31. > :05:35.madman. `` part he is allowed. They go around the world recruiting some
:05:36. > :05:37.new people to reboot the expendables franchise and then everyone blow
:05:38. > :05:42.some more stuff up and they all go home. This can work if they don't
:05:43. > :05:47.take themselves too seriously. That is the problem, I thought the first
:05:48. > :05:51.one was rather fun. Statham Held his own rather well. In the second one
:05:52. > :05:56.it was loopy" amusing. This is rather grim. It is a trial basis
:05:57. > :06:00.difficult but there are bullets flying everywhere. I was shocked it
:06:01. > :06:08.was a 12 A, it's one of the most violent things I've seen all year.
:06:09. > :06:13.`` it is 12 A. You expect it to be funny, they don't really do that. I
:06:14. > :06:17.think they got tired of it and they couldn't find any decent jokes to
:06:18. > :06:22.say about having exploded 150 people in the port of Mogadishu. But I'm
:06:23. > :06:27.sure there will be an expendables four. Hector and the search for
:06:28. > :06:30.happiness. Tell us more. Simon Pegg who specialises in playing British
:06:31. > :06:34.nerds from Shaun of the dead all the way to run Fat boy run and is last
:06:35. > :06:39.year 's other worlds and, diminishing returns for this kind of
:06:40. > :06:43.character. `` the world 's end. He plays a psychiatrist in a flat in
:06:44. > :06:46.London and his girlfriend is played by was meant Pike. He decides he
:06:47. > :06:52.doesn't know enough about anything and teeny to go around the world. ``
:06:53. > :07:02.Rosamond. He dresses up like an idiot. That and needs to go around
:07:03. > :07:06.the world. Can I please get the champagne from first class at
:07:07. > :07:13.least? A decent one. This is an decent? Would you like a down or
:07:14. > :07:18.memory foam pillow? Did you order a pillow? I forget, did I? I will have
:07:19. > :07:27.two steal your bag. Of course, please do. Sorry, I'll get it. This
:07:28. > :07:55.is like twister, though you've won. Oh, that's sweet. Oh look at that.
:07:56. > :08:05.It's a gift from my other half, she snuck it into my bag and I didn't
:08:06. > :08:10.know. Fill these pages. I will. I might have moved back into economy.
:08:11. > :08:15.Who goes onto a plain like that with a rucksack and all of that jangly
:08:16. > :08:19.stuff? `` a plane. It might be funny but no one really does that so it's
:08:20. > :08:24.not truly funny. If you did that he would be chopped off the plane. No
:08:25. > :08:27.one dresses like feeling. `` chocked. Rosamond Pike wouldn't go
:08:28. > :08:36.out with someone dressed like that. `` chocked. He goes around the world
:08:37. > :08:40.filling the book with doodles which appear on the screen sometimes,
:08:41. > :08:45.making observations about what makes people happy. Then he goes to meet
:08:46. > :08:48.Buddhist monks, he goes to Africa where everyone is either a dancing
:08:49. > :08:53.villager who wants to have fun with him, or a kidnapping warlord. It is
:08:54. > :09:01.kind of borderline racist in its idiocy. It casually sexist and
:09:02. > :09:04.silly. The logic presumably is if you're psychiatrist and you go on a
:09:05. > :09:09.search for happiness it helps you treat your patience. He says I don't
:09:10. > :09:13.know enough to treat the patients but he doesn't really, he clocks up
:09:14. > :09:17.lots of air miles but goes on hardly any journeys. I was fed up with him
:09:18. > :09:22.quite early on, I found it very difficult film to stomach and I
:09:23. > :09:25.think many people will too. Even though Simon Pegg is immensely
:09:26. > :09:29.likeable he's not fully getting the character. I went ask if he finds
:09:30. > :09:33.happiness because it might spoil the end, but I don't get the impression
:09:34. > :09:37.that matters. What is the favourite one you would like to pick out? The
:09:38. > :09:41.one I hope we can still find because I talked about it last week is a
:09:42. > :09:48.film which is an Argentinian film about a Nazi doctor. I may have
:09:49. > :09:49.given it away last week. He is on the run in
:09:50. > :09:52.given it away last week. He is on the Patagonia and it is seen through
:09:53. > :09:56.the eyes of the 12`year`old girl he starts treating. I found this
:09:57. > :10:01.immensely exciting, thrilling and scary. Its images live on in my mind
:10:02. > :10:05.in my nightmares ever since. You look in your notebook at this doctor
:10:06. > :10:09.and you realise the experiment he's been doing in the 1940s in house
:10:10. > :10:18.which have followed him here to Patagonia in the 1960s. `` house in
:10:19. > :10:23.concentration camps. You feel that it probably did happen. The DVD,
:10:24. > :10:32.that you can pick up very soon, what have I chosen? Calvary. Brendan
:10:33. > :10:35.Gleeson. Giving probably, this year 's first Oscar nominating tight
:10:36. > :10:40.performance. He plays a country Priest in Ireland, someone says they
:10:41. > :10:44.will kill him. `` type. Which of the villages is it? He goes round trying
:10:45. > :10:49.to square himself with his own morality with God. It is funny and
:10:50. > :10:56.deeply moving and religious. A strange mix, but the humour is the
:10:57. > :11:00.cover. Thank you for joining us. A quick reminder before we go you will
:11:01. > :11:06.find more film news and reviews from across the BBC online including our
:11:07. > :11:09.previous shows slash film. That is it for this week. Thank you for
:11:10. > :11:26.watching and goodbye. Good evening, most of you have got
:11:27. > :11:29.away with a drier day`to`day than the past few but there are still a
:11:30. > :11:34.few showers, the odd heavy one today. Drifting off the Pennines
:11:35. > :11:41.into the Midlands, out of East Wales. Quite a few just across parts
:11:42. > :11:42.of Surrey, Sussex and Kent. The drift of those are southwards and
