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