:00:00. > :00:26.Film Review. Hello and welcome to The Film Review

:00:27. > :00:31.on BBC News. To take us through this week's cinema releases is Jason

:00:32. > :00:34.Solomons. We will see the blockbuster that keeps on giving.

:00:35. > :00:39.Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt team up in the Edge Of Tomorrow, and

:00:40. > :00:50.tomorrow, and tomorrow. That joke will become clear later. Ken Loach

:00:51. > :00:56.is back with a 1930s tail in Ireland with a bid to reopen a community

:00:57. > :00:59.centre. And Seth MacFarlane and Charlize Theron blazed their saddles

:01:00. > :01:06.through the Western spoof A Million Ways To Die In The West. Edge Of

:01:07. > :01:09.Tomorrow, the latest Tom Cruise. There is always one! The one thing

:01:10. > :01:14.about Tom Cruise movies, if you don't like one, another will come

:01:15. > :01:18.along very soon. He has got into this blockbuster groove, running

:01:19. > :01:26.around dystopia with a young English actor. Oblivion recently and now he

:01:27. > :01:31.is in a film that has been billed as Groundhog Day meets all kinds of

:01:32. > :01:36.other action films. He plays a spin doctor cast into the Battle of a

:01:37. > :01:41.future dystopia where the world is taken over. The concept of this film

:01:42. > :01:46.is so high that you get neck ache looking up to work out what is going

:01:47. > :01:50.on. It is so big that you just don't notice the holes in the plot because

:01:51. > :01:54.of the pyrotechnics. If you know what is going on here, you are

:01:55. > :02:03.stronger than me, but I think Tom Cruise is flirting with Emily Blunt.

:02:04. > :02:13.Not a good idea. You all right? I think I broke something. What? My

:02:14. > :02:18.back. The only thing I can feel is my lips. This is an important rule.

:02:19. > :02:24.It is the only rule. You get injured on the field, you better make sure

:02:25. > :02:30.you die. Why? Last time I was in combat I was hit. I was bleeding

:02:31. > :02:34.out, just not fast enough. I woke up in a field hospital with three pints

:02:35. > :02:41.of someone else's blood and I was out. I lost the power. Do you

:02:42. > :02:49.understand? We had better start over. The thing about that is that

:02:50. > :02:54.Tom Cruise is doing a hamster impression. That is awful. That is

:02:55. > :02:59.his lips. It is quite fun because he takes the Mickey out of his own

:03:00. > :03:07.green image, which is better than normally being so provost. It has

:03:08. > :03:11.been written by Butterworth, who wrote Jerusalem, and I quite liked

:03:12. > :03:16.this Friday night blockbuster. The concept was good as far as I could

:03:17. > :03:21.follow it. He can reset the day, keep reliving the same day until he

:03:22. > :03:26.gets it right. If he does not like it the first time round, you think,

:03:27. > :03:31.oh, he is doing it again. It does not get wittier and he does not

:03:32. > :03:38.grow. But it is a big scale blockbuster and it stars Jane Hill

:03:39. > :03:49.from BBC News. We will watch it just for that. She is in it a bit. And

:03:50. > :03:52.Ken Loach's latest? He is back with Jimmy's Hall. I was at the Cannes

:03:53. > :03:57.Film Festival when this came out. He is so beloved there, his 12th film

:03:58. > :04:02.in competition, that people cheer him. He has a social conscience that

:04:03. > :04:10.goes down well, a humanism that beats through his movies and this is

:04:11. > :04:13.no exception. A period film, which is set in 1930s Ireland, just after

:04:14. > :04:17.independence when a political firebrand called Jimmy is being

:04:18. > :04:21.urged to open up his dance hall again so the community can learn to

:04:22. > :04:30.do poetry and learn some literature and do some dancing. An element of

:04:31. > :04:35.Footloose. As ever, shot through with the community feel. This will

:04:36. > :04:40.to get the community to action against the ruling classes, either

:04:41. > :04:45.the church here, or some imperialist state, Britain. Lots of Ken Loach

:04:46. > :04:49.themes going on but beautifully done with good costumes and great music

:04:50. > :04:54.and lovely performances. Lovely performances and you can see that it

:04:55. > :05:00.is fun. One of the critics of Ken Loach is that he lets the politics

:05:01. > :05:05.overbalance the plot. He has managed to make what is essentially a group

:05:06. > :05:09.of people trying to engage in social activism seem like fun. Yes, and I

:05:10. > :05:12.think it is. It is not too preachy. They're just trying to better

:05:13. > :05:18.community, give the community something to do. The kids wanted the

:05:19. > :05:24.dance all. Lots of Irish jigs and dancing, very unusual in a Ken Loach

:05:25. > :05:30.movie. The priest was played brilliantly. Add a period in British

:05:31. > :05:37.history that we don't see very much. The real history of Jimmy Gralton,

:05:38. > :05:42.he was whitewashed and deported to America. It is not really a history

:05:43. > :05:45.movie but about what you can do for your community. When you watch a Ken

:05:46. > :05:50.Loach film, you feel like a better person for having watched it. I

:05:51. > :05:55.forgot how much I liked Ken Loach movies and then I got imbued with a

:05:56. > :06:01.humanistic spirit and came out dancing! Where you dancing to A

:06:02. > :06:04.Million Ways To Die In The West? Apparently there are 1 million ways

:06:05. > :06:08.to die and one way is to put yourself on the big screen, if you

:06:09. > :06:13.are Seth MacFarlane. He was very funny in that film and he played the

:06:14. > :06:18.teddy bear. He splits audiences. Nobody liked his Oscar show but I

:06:19. > :06:23.didn't mind it. He plays a lonely sheep are ditched by his girlfriend

:06:24. > :06:27.played by Amanda Seyfried, and then meets Charlize Theron in her first

:06:28. > :06:32.comic role. I am setting this up so we can get this clip and see just

:06:33. > :06:39.how hilarious it can be when you are not doing Blazing Saddles. I have

:06:40. > :06:43.that skirt. I worried to the fair two years ago but good for you for

:06:44. > :06:47.trying to bring it back. I figured only a complete idiot would throw

:06:48. > :06:51.away a perfectly good thing. We were going to check out the shooting

:06:52. > :06:56.gallery. It would be fun, right? Yes, and let's make things

:06:57. > :07:01.interesting. A nickel a target. That is actually a little rich for my

:07:02. > :07:14.blood. How about a penny? What is the matter? It's business bad? You

:07:15. > :07:26.are such a sheep skate! Let's go. You can shear me an! That is awful!

:07:27. > :07:32.Isn't it terrible? The rest of it is toilet humour and puerile humour.

:07:33. > :07:36.Out of time stuff like that little routine there. You get it in the

:07:37. > :07:40.streets and the ghetto and it is transposed. I don't know who sees

:07:41. > :07:46.westerns any more. 13`year`old boys might have appreciate this but when

:07:47. > :07:55.did they watch Westerns? I don't get this. You can do comedy Westerns.

:07:56. > :08:01.City Slickers was fantastic. But there is no point for this Are plain

:08:02. > :08:14.spoof. For every ten shots, I did laugh once. `` no point in these

:08:15. > :08:20.types of spoofs. And there is no chemistry with Charlize Theron, who

:08:21. > :08:24.proves to be a good comedian. Seth MacFarlane is the dead centre and he

:08:25. > :08:32.is the director and the actor. Who else can you blame? Nobody. And

:08:33. > :08:35.you're best of the week is The Two Faces of January. Yes, an elegant

:08:36. > :08:39.thriller packing in audiences slowly. There is no reason to see

:08:40. > :08:49.this other than it being an old, elegant thriller, based on a British

:08:50. > :08:55.type of film. There is a murderer. Whodunnit? It is quite obvious and

:08:56. > :09:00.it is not very twisted but it is very elegant. Kirsten Dunst is very

:09:01. > :09:05.good and Oscar Isaac plays a young American in this. I like it. It. It

:09:06. > :09:10.transports you to another time as well. They don't make these films

:09:11. > :09:14.any more. You might think, I know why, once you have watched it but I

:09:15. > :09:24.enjoyed it had a great sense of style to it. Your DD `` DVD is

:09:25. > :09:30.called Advanced Style but I have not heard of it. And that is why I am

:09:31. > :09:34.here today. It was a fashion blog from some unimpressed by the old

:09:35. > :09:36.ladies on the streets of New York. He used to tell them they looked

:09:37. > :09:41.fantastic and take their photographs. It is a documentary

:09:42. > :09:45.going into the lives of these stylish old ladies in Manhattan with

:09:46. > :09:49.big cats and glasses. It is about expressing yourself in a certain

:09:50. > :09:54.age, which is a demographic so undersold to and targeted by any

:09:55. > :09:58.industry, that I found it extremely inspirational about keeping your

:09:59. > :10:03.self`expression into old age. It is not about fashion. It is about

:10:04. > :10:07.looking good and accessorising your way through it. It was a brilliant

:10:08. > :10:12.documentary. Very funny, very rich and original. I have never heard of

:10:13. > :10:18.anything like that. You could get some tips! Big glasses. I will wear

:10:19. > :10:24.some crazy glasses next week. You will find more news and reviews from

:10:25. > :10:25.across the BBC online. That is it for this week. Thank you for

:10:26. > :10:45.watching and goodbye. us, a weekend in which we leap into

:10:46. > :10:50.June. Time to look back at the statistics for May. Indeed the whole

:10:51. > :10:51.of spring. It looks like it
