Hello and welcome to the film review. Anna Smith is here. We have

:00:24.:00:31.

got Jason Bourne in the film Jason Bourne, starring Matt Damon as the

:00:32.:00:37.

CIA operative con road. We have the JT LeRoy story which is a

:00:38.:00:40.

fascinating documentary about what was allegedly a great hoax. Then we

:00:41.:00:47.

have finding Tory, another franchise returns after quite a break. Jason

:00:48.:00:59.

Bourne and finding Dore. Jason Bourne. This is another entertaining

:01:00.:01:07.

episode in the franchise. The last one seemed to wrap things up quite

:01:08.:01:16.

well. They thought they would go back to basics. Matt Damon is at the

:01:17.:01:33.

CIA agent calling back his memories. He finds out in other secret about

:01:34.:01:37.

his past. We have two new characters who seem very familiar. Tommy Lee

:01:38.:01:41.

Jones, the frowning CIA head chasing him down and we have a more softly,

:01:42.:01:48.

softly CIA agent he might have a bit of a frisson with Borren. That's

:01:49.:02:02.

clickety click. My name is Heather Lee. I am not in charge. I wasn't

:02:03.:02:08.

here when you went missing. I can see you are going through the old

:02:09.:02:14.

files. Retracing your history. I know you are looking for something.

:02:15.:02:26.

Let me help you find it. Give me that phone. Yes, sir. Jason, do you

:02:27.:02:42.

remember me? Your dad was a patriot. He could see the threat America was

:02:43.:02:47.

facing and like you and he chose to serve his country out of a profound

:02:48.:02:52.

sense of duty. He would not want to see you are the agency. You have to

:02:53.:03:00.

stop this. You have to stop it now. Familiar stuff, as you can see. Paul

:03:01.:03:05.

Green grass works well with Matt Damon and the formula isn't broken.

:03:06.:03:10.

The best thing about this is the action, as always. We start off in

:03:11.:03:15.

Athens with riots, gripping stuff. Chases through the streets. We have

:03:16.:03:21.

a sniper who tries to track down Jason Bourne in London. Then it

:03:22.:03:25.

wraps up in Las Vegas. In terms of the action it is strong and worth

:03:26.:03:29.

seeing. I am not usually a big action fund. This always keeps me

:03:30.:03:37.

interested. I forget which one it was, DJs to Waterloo. It was

:03:38.:03:42.

amazing. It seemed to be so different from bond and so much

:03:43.:03:50.

edgier than James Bond. That is what I like. It is grittier. Not a lot of

:03:51.:03:56.

home but Tommy Lee Jones brings a light touch. My problem is they

:03:57.:04:02.

introduced more current plotline. There is a cyber guru who runs a

:04:03.:04:06.

social media group and it seems like too much. It doesn't give much room

:04:07.:04:10.

for the emotion with the plundering of the back story, which is what

:04:11.:04:15.

they always do. It seems like they have said, what more can we

:04:16.:04:21.

introduce that he can find out about consumer things have changed in the

:04:22.:04:32.

past ten years. The British Empire is gone, this is much edgier. They

:04:33.:04:38.

do try to introduce something new and edgier in everyone. Now, after

:04:39.:04:48.

JT LeRoy story. This is interesting. A writer claimed to be a young

:04:49.:04:52.

some confusion about his sexuality some confusion about his sexuality

:04:53.:04:58.

and he did well with several novels. It turned out to be a 40-year-old

:04:59.:05:02.

woman who had not only been conversing with lots of celebrities

:05:03.:05:07.

over the phone and the kitchens and therapists with the voice of this

:05:08.:05:13.

character but she had also hired her stepsister to appear as this

:05:14.:05:16.

character in public. You couldn't make it up. It turns out he might

:05:17.:05:24.

not be a he and might not even exist. What the heck is going on? I

:05:25.:05:36.

didn't know how to shut it down. It feels like the whole world is

:05:37.:05:43.

watching. Suddenly, I got a call. He says I am going to get you, he knows

:05:44.:05:50.

everything. There is a huge tornado that is about to head. The biggest

:05:51.:05:55.

literary hoax of our time. It is not a hoax. That is Laura Albert who was

:05:56.:06:03.

the writer. This has a lack of access to her. There have been

:06:04.:06:08.

documentaries about this. It is an amazing story. She drives the story

:06:09.:06:14.

forward by sharing her recollections and she also, interestingly, tipped

:06:15.:06:18.

conversations with these celebrities including Courtney Love who is

:06:19.:06:21.

always good value. It is a very entertaining watch. There are all

:06:22.:06:29.

kinds of issues here. There is a literary thing, is the stuff any

:06:30.:06:33.

good? What difference does it make if you know the back story? How

:06:34.:06:40.

exploitative was she in exploiting, for example, transgender issues,

:06:41.:06:46.

HIV? These are really very difficult issues for many people to talk about

:06:47.:06:51.

and to be seen to be exploiting it is something one expects she needs

:06:52.:06:55.

to be challenged on rather than telling us it was the greatest hoax

:06:56.:07:01.

in literature. It is incredibly complex. There are so many issues

:07:02.:07:06.

thrown up. This tells it more from her point of view, which hasn't been

:07:07.:07:11.

done before. I was wanting them the challenge more. It was a well put

:07:12.:07:14.

together a documentary from her point of view. They should challenge

:07:15.:07:22.

more. Finding Dory. I love finding Nemo. It is not as amazing and

:07:23.:07:32.

perhaps not quite so much crossover appeal for adults, but the family

:07:33.:07:36.

were all enjoyed. It is about the main character and she has that

:07:37.:07:43.

lovely high-pitched, almost hysterical voice which fits really

:07:44.:07:46.

well with a character who has short term memory loss. She has been

:07:47.:07:53.

swimming around the ocean for years trying to find her parents were

:07:54.:07:57.

trying to work out what she is doing their and this goes into her back

:07:58.:08:00.

story and she tries to remember her parents. Let's have a look. My

:08:01.:08:11.

family. I remember my family. They are out there somewhere. I have

:08:12.:08:22.

them. -- I have to find them. Where did you go? My parents. I remember

:08:23.:08:30.

them. I remember them. I have a family. They don't know where I am.

:08:31.:08:38.

We have to go. This is crazy. Where are you trying to go? California.

:08:39.:08:46.

That is all the way across the ocean. For once cannot we just enjoy

:08:47.:08:58.

the view. We have done our ocean travels, that part of our lives is

:08:59.:09:03.

open. The only reason to travel is so you don't have to travel any

:09:04.:09:09.

more. If you tell me the vegetarian shark is in it. There are a love of

:09:10.:09:17.

great new characters. She ends up in an aquarium. There is a host of new

:09:18.:09:23.

characters. I prefer it when it is in the ocean because it makes me

:09:24.:09:27.

want to go snorkelling. It is very funny and it is breaking box office

:09:28.:09:34.

records already. The surfing title? He doesn't resurface? It looks

:09:35.:09:40.

great. You're best of the week is the neon demon. This is a sort of

:09:41.:09:47.

horror thriller which starts off as a satire of the fashion industry.

:09:48.:09:58.

This has divided critics and divided audiences but I like that. It is

:09:59.:10:06.

high camp horror. The directors said it is a teen horror but I am not

:10:07.:10:10.

sure it is a teen horror. It is about exposure to an adult world.

:10:11.:10:15.

Jenna Malone is the person to watch out for. She has a tremendous role

:10:16.:10:21.

as a make-up artist. She was so good the plot was changed to make it

:10:22.:10:27.

revolve around her. Is it that some critics just don't get the acting?

:10:28.:10:34.

People are acting in a particularly pasteurised weight because that is

:10:35.:10:40.

the point. Exactly. You could say they were bad actors but they are

:10:41.:10:44.

not, the largest being very arch. This order. This is a thriller. He

:10:45.:10:55.

is hired to look after a woman went her husband has been arrested. She

:10:56.:11:00.

is a trophy wife and the interesting thing is he is suffering from

:11:01.:11:04.

post-traumatic stress disorder, so is the imagining a thread or does it

:11:05.:11:11.

exist? That is it for this work. You can catch up with their previous

:11:12.:11:13.
