:00:28. > :00:33.News. To take us through this week's releases Jason is with me. We have
:00:33. > :00:39.the Wolverine is the big blockbuster of the week. Will my clause be out
:00:39. > :00:43.for Hugh Jackman as he moves from Les Miserables to just miserable. We
:00:43. > :00:53.have a Mexican drama called Days of Grace where everyone is football
:00:53. > :00:58.mad. It's a crime drama. Will I like it? And a monochrome
:00:58. > :01:04.love letter to New York and to its star. I'll find out if there's
:01:04. > :01:07.anything to laugh about. Now Wolverine, people who like
:01:07. > :01:13.Wolverine will like Wolverine is the motto for most of the films I would
:01:13. > :01:18.say. He seems to be one of those superheroes with very nondescript
:01:18. > :01:22.powers of superness. I don't know what he does. He has claws that come
:01:22. > :01:28.out. I don't know what use they are. They are good... For scratching your
:01:28. > :01:37.back. He's like an angry pen knife. Hugh Jackman plays this with his top
:01:37. > :01:44.off a lot. In this film it starts with a bang. It's the A-bomb at
:01:45. > :01:47.Nagasaki. He's immune from the devastation. Everyone has got
:01:48. > :01:57.samurai swords and they can come up samurai swords and they can come up
:01:58. > :02:34.
:02:34. > :02:38.swords. It should be quite good fun were it not for the fact that
:02:38. > :02:42.Wolverine is so miserable. I don't know what the thing is now for
:02:42. > :02:49.Hollywood blockbusters that the superheroes have to be on a search
:02:49. > :02:54.for their dark side. It's a superhero. You're based on a comic
:02:54. > :03:04.strip. Why not use the clause to shave off your silly beard. I do
:03:04. > :03:04.
:03:04. > :03:09.like Hugh Jackman. He doesn't quite submit to them. There's a lack of
:03:09. > :03:13.any fun in this movie. There are really good set pieces, there's one
:03:13. > :03:16.atop a speeding bullet train in Japan, which is breath taking. The
:03:16. > :03:22.rest of it is cliche and fighting. It's difficult to care for the
:03:22. > :03:26.Wolverine because we don't know him at all. Going to be another summer
:03:26. > :03:30.blockbuster that Hollywood will find disappointing? I think so, the
:03:30. > :03:35.blockbusters have been disappointing. The one thing I say
:03:35. > :03:39.for Wolverine, it doesn't have a big climax in New York where all the
:03:40. > :03:45.buildings are thrown. That's the best thing I can say. A bit
:03:45. > :03:50.negative. Days of Grace I would like to see this. Mexican crime films
:03:50. > :03:57.sound pretty good. Ever since the Latin Americans are on the new wave
:03:57. > :04:02.of cinema and burst onto the scene at the beginning of the millennium,
:04:02. > :04:08.they have a reputation for vibrant, style stylish crime films about the
:04:08. > :04:13.corruption of the big city, how police and gangsters are drawn into
:04:13. > :04:18.this fate, this intwined existence that they have. The Days of Grace is
:04:18. > :04:21.the title of the film are the 31 days of the World Cup Finals, where
:04:21. > :04:25.police and gangsters and politicians are so distracted by the football
:04:25. > :04:32.that they take their eye off the ball to watch the ball being played
:04:32. > :04:36.and the drama is played out at talk eye stands. This is played -- taco
:04:36. > :04:39.stands. This is played out over past world cups. It's a bad time to get
:04:39. > :04:45.kidnapped in Mexico. If you're kidnapped before the World Cup,
:04:45. > :04:55.you're un like unlikely to be ransomed or helped. Nobody can be
:04:55. > :04:57.
:04:57. > :05:04.bothered. The serious thing is that unfortunately, this is daily life in
:05:05. > :05:13.Mexico. I think there are amazing scenes in here. Brilliant
:05:13. > :05:21.photography. Amazing shots of the shanty towns, just wonderful stuff.
:05:21. > :05:24.There is a time where I wish the camera would stay still. There are
:05:24. > :05:31.too many stylistic flashy bits. He's quite a good director. It's his
:05:31. > :05:35.first time. He's done music videos and there's flashiness involved. But
:05:35. > :05:42.actually it's a smart film about a cop that we follow through these
:05:42. > :05:46.World Cups who becomes eventually corrupted. Francis Ha is a puzzle.
:05:46. > :05:52.It's black and white and the posters are in colour. That seems a very odd
:05:53. > :05:56.thing to do. Yes, it's a monochrome film set in Manhattan. One
:05:56. > :06:02.immediately thinks, if you've been watching the documentaries on the
:06:02. > :06:12.BBC this week and one think of rom-coms in New York of Dianne
:06:12. > :06:17.
:06:17. > :06:27.Kea-to-n in Anni Hall. Any cookie New York character owes something to
:06:27. > :06:31.
:06:31. > :06:37.Oh, I'm so glad you're here. Yoo you were great, really great. Could you
:06:37. > :06:42.see me? Yeah we were on the risers so we could see at the back. Sorry,
:06:42. > :06:49.I had to take a leak. Congratulations. Thank you.Shall we
:06:49. > :06:53.all go fout for a quick drink? quick drink? We have to get up
:06:53. > :07:03.early. We're catching a flight and meeting my parents. I haven't packed
:07:03. > :07:12.
:07:12. > :07:16.friend Sophie who is Sting and Trudi Styler's daughter. They're best
:07:16. > :07:22.friends and the girlfriend has gone off and got herself a rich boyfriend
:07:22. > :07:26.who is a banker. Greta realises her life is passing her by. She's still
:07:26. > :07:30.trying to be a dancer in New York and nothing much is happening. It's
:07:30. > :07:34.one of those dramas that the chapters of the film are prefaced by
:07:34. > :07:40.different postcodes where she ends up living. People in New York, do
:07:41. > :07:44.you like girls, Gavin? I mean the HBO TV series? Obviously, yes.It's
:07:44. > :07:48.like that. People have flat mates and they're always moving around.
:07:48. > :07:55.They are in Brooklyn and move. is a buddy movie for girls. There
:07:55. > :08:01.aren't a lot of those. There are TV series, Girls is one example. Buddy
:08:01. > :08:05.movies for girls are not so usual. There's another one coming out
:08:05. > :08:14.called The Heat. It's a new trend to get these girls to play what used to
:08:14. > :08:19.be just men buddy movies. This is a sort of soromance. That doesn't
:08:19. > :08:29.really work, we have bromance. She does it charmingly here. It's a film
:08:29. > :08:35.that's very slight but has a bit more impact. It's got that Woody
:08:35. > :08:40.Allen-ish newer rose is going on here. -- nurosis going on here. Your
:08:40. > :08:43.threshold for it will depend on how charming you think Greta is. I think
:08:43. > :08:47.some people will fall in love with her and some people will want to
:08:47. > :08:56.throttle her. Your best of the week is the Bling Ring, the other side of
:08:56. > :08:59.the United States. Back to the other coast for what I think is Sophia
:08:59. > :09:05.Coppola's best movie. Some people say it's shallow and dim. I thought
:09:05. > :09:09.it was terrific and funny and smart and very good at satirises youth and
:09:09. > :09:14.sympathising with youth. She really gets it. It's about the true life
:09:14. > :09:17.story about a group of LA girls who steal from stars' houses. Stars are
:09:17. > :09:22.always on Twitter telling you that they're not. There they go into
:09:22. > :09:25.their houses. What's charming and interesting about it is that it's
:09:25. > :09:30.about the ultra-materialism as much of the stars, culture and the
:09:30. > :09:36.society. In a way though you don't condone the thefts, there's a bit of
:09:36. > :09:41.you which thinks well, they're asking for it. Slightly Robin
:09:41. > :09:46.Hoodesque. Paris Hilton won't miss another pair of knickers. They shoot
:09:46. > :09:52.in her house actually. It was fascinating about celebrity culture,
:09:52. > :09:56.saying it's got a bad effect as a drip down. People don't want to be
:09:56. > :10:06.celebrities. They want to live in their houses. It's going to be a wet
:10:06. > :10:13.Saturday. DVD choice of the week is Side Effects. This was supposed to
:10:13. > :10:19.be his last film. I like Stephen Soderberg. This is a pharmaceutical
:10:19. > :10:27.satire thriller starring Jude Law on his best Foreman many years. Also --
:10:27. > :10:32.best form for many years. Also starring Rooney Mara. It's very
:10:32. > :10:36.smart. There's a bit where it's a bit careless. It's like you know
:10:36. > :10:39.what, I want to go home. He's made quite a few. And he's very good.
:10:39. > :10:47.You'll miss him. There is a slightly unfinished business with this film.
:10:47. > :10:52.This is about yuppy chulure as well. It is. -- Culture as well.It is. It
