Cardiff ahead of second round of Six Nations matches. That is on sports

:00:00.3:59:59

day. Now time for the Film Review. We have Deadpool, an anti-superhero

:00:00.:00:38.

romp. We have A Bigger Splash. Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes and a

:00:39.:00:44.

debut from Steven Fingleton. Deadpool. Marvel comics. Yes

:00:45.:00:54.

self-ref rential. Ryan Reynolds is the avenger character who is good

:00:55.:00:58.

looking, but lost his good looks through a mutation that made him

:00:59.:01:05.

indestructible. The film exists on the fringes of the X-Men universe

:01:06.:01:12.

and it is breaking the fourth wall and making jokes about where it

:01:13.:01:16.

comes from. It is a 15-rated film. It is not a film for clips. Not a

:01:17.:01:25.

film for kids. Here is one clip we can show.

:01:26.:01:34.

Go get some. Wait for it. Superhero landing. That is hard on your knees.

:01:35.:01:52.

Impractical. You're a lovely lady, but I'm saving mooims for Francis. I

:01:53.:02:00.

prefer not to hit a woman... I mean... That is why I brought her?

:02:01.:02:08.

Oh no, finish your tweet. Give us a second. Hashtag it. Go get her,

:02:09.:02:22.

tiger. Twit we are superheroes. I laughed all the way through and

:02:23.:02:27.

there is a lot of dialogue, I speak as somebody who still likes Viz

:02:28.:02:36.

comic and a lot is like Roger Melee man on the telly talk. It is not a

:02:37.:02:45.

patch on Kick Ass. But it is more consistently funny in a guilty

:02:46.:02:49.

pleasure way than many of the alleged comedies. I laughed all the

:02:50.:02:57.

way through, that is more that can be said of Zoolander Two. People who

:02:58.:03:03.

don't like it really don't like it. They think it has a smugness to it.

:03:04.:03:07.

But it has the strength of its convictions and has in the central

:03:08.:03:11.

character, somebody who is good at doing that motor mouth potty mouthed

:03:12.:03:20.

sweary comic book violence, with an offhand panache and also oddly it

:03:21.:03:24.

does not run out. You would expect after half an hour of hearing this

:03:25.:03:29.

guy constantly doing the baerpt it would be enough. But I laughed all

:03:30.:03:36.

the way through. -- banter. I can think of few comedies where that is

:03:37.:03:42.

the case. I'm a big fan of juvenile humour. It is not kid-friendly

:03:43.:03:48.

and... Juvenile but not kid-friendly. Exactly. A Bigger

:03:49.:03:54.

Splash, a David Hockney painting some will think. Yes and the title

:03:55.:04:01.

nods to that. It is a remake of la Piscine. Tilda Swinton is a rock

:04:02.:04:09.

diva who has lost her voice and he is on this Italian island and into

:04:10.:04:15.

the island comes Ralph Fiennes as her old flame who, talks constantly

:04:16.:04:19.

and brings with him a young woman who may or may not be his recently

:04:20.:04:23.

discovered daughter. He is a force of nature. He wants to get back with

:04:24.:04:29.

Tilda Swinton's character and you get this drama of four people with

:04:30.:04:35.

broiling interpersonal tension in which all the characters are in

:04:36.:04:40.

various ways hellish and annoying and the director takes cruel fun in

:04:41.:04:44.

watching them tear each other apart. I think the performances are

:04:45.:04:53.

terrific. Ralph Fiennes lip sinking and dancing to the rolling stones is

:04:54.:04:57.

something you won't forget. It takes a lot of patience to spend a lot of

:04:58.:05:02.

time in the company of these people. If they were at a party, you would

:05:03.:05:06.

leave. With Ralph Fiennes it is difficult to believe, he is one of

:05:07.:05:13.

genius actors. Well he is playing a character that does not stop

:05:14.:05:18.

talking. And after a while, it becomes grating. It is meant to be

:05:19.:05:24.

grating as the tensions broil up. There is a Brian Jones story going

:05:25.:05:30.

on and the way the intrigues play out. It is a well made film. But it

:05:31.:05:37.

is about people who are hard to share a confined space with. The

:05:38.:05:45.

director's other film I thought at the end was tedious. The

:05:46.:05:55.

Survivalalist. -- The Survivalist. It is set in a nonspecific future

:05:56.:06:01.

where mankind has declined and we are now basically what we think of

:06:02.:06:06.

as civilised society has fallen apart, although nature has

:06:07.:06:12.

flourished. It is not where everything is burnt out. We meet a

:06:13.:06:19.

lone figure. Into his world come two woman. A mother and daughter. And

:06:20.:06:27.

they form an uneasy alliance in which they distrust each other and

:06:28.:06:32.

at any moment their actions may turn to violence. You're never sure how

:06:33.:06:37.

much any of them can be trusted. Made on a small budgets and one of

:06:38.:06:41.

the most exciting bits of film making I have seen for long time.

:06:42.:06:50.

Here is a clip. She likes you. Do you like her? Would you like to keep

:06:51.:07:01.

seeing her? It is small for a reason. But we still found it. We

:07:02.:07:11.

could clear more land. More hands to manage it. I have managed so far.

:07:12.:07:22.

You have been lucky. It wasn't luck. The film has been nom named for a --

:07:23.:07:31.

nominated for a BAFTA. It is between The Stalker and The Beguiled. I

:07:32.:07:38.

think what impresses me is it creates a world, without recourse to

:07:39.:07:45.

special effects and so much dialogue. A lot of what you know

:07:46.:07:51.

about the people is to do with their physicality and the actions. There

:07:52.:07:55.

are few moments where people explain the plot and there is a terrific

:07:56.:08:03.

look. Demonstrates if a director has a clear vision, it is possible to

:08:04.:08:08.

tell a story that is complicated with very sort of simple resources.

:08:09.:08:12.

A terrific performances from all three of the main players and also a

:08:13.:08:17.

film which I have to say it is not for everyone, its is very harsh and

:08:18.:08:23.

it has a brutal view existence. Everybody who has survived long

:08:24.:08:27.

enough to be in this drama has blood on their hands. The only people who

:08:28.:08:30.

are around are people who have blood on their hands. I thought it was

:08:31.:08:36.

very impress and very gripping. You are a fan of Northern Ireland in

:08:37.:08:40.

general and Northern Ireland culturally is hot now in all kinds

:08:41.:08:48.

of ways. Yes, a Derry-born film maker who has done just a great job.

:08:49.:08:52.

It is part of location work is good and there is a lot of talent. This

:08:53.:08:59.

is the kind of film, the sort of film making when somebody has a

:09:00.:09:03.

great idea of what they want to do and set themselves strict pe ram --

:09:04.:09:15.

pe ram terse. -- parameters. But it is unforgiving. It is a bleak movie.

:09:16.:09:23.

I have seen The Road. The Road is a laugh riot in comparison! Now, your

:09:24.:09:32.

Icelandic knitwear product placement The Rams is your film of week. We

:09:33.:09:36.

reviewed this last week and I wants you to see it. It is a trajy comedy

:09:37.:09:46.

that is about two brothers in Iceland raising sheep and they're

:09:47.:09:52.

threatened by an outbreak of scrapie and can they pull together. I

:09:53.:09:57.

thought it was really impressive. I went in knowing nothing about it.

:09:58.:10:03.

Terrific performances. Utterly dead pan, things where you don't know

:10:04.:10:09.

where to laugh or cry. A lovely sound track and well worth seeing on

:10:10.:10:14.

the big screen. The only reason I do this is we get to cover Deadpool and

:10:15.:10:23.

an Icelandic movie about sheep. I hope people seek out Rams. Crimson

:10:24.:10:34.

Peak is your DVD choice. This is open to lukewarm response, but I

:10:35.:10:40.

think is great and a full blooded gothic fantasy and wonderfully

:10:41.:10:45.

designed and the story relates to Poe and the first time I watched it

:10:46.:10:49.

I thought it was really ripe and enjoy yavenlt I have seen --

:10:50.:10:57.

enjoyable. I thought the poster looks terrible. It is not The Adams

:10:58.:11:05.

family. That is right. Given the films are hard to sell, because

:11:06.:11:13.

they're difficult and how you design a movie like Pan's labyrinth. That

:11:14.:11:18.

image you're seeing, it is not that film, it is a much better film. And

:11:19.:11:30.

you will finds more news and reviewses online. That is foirt this

:11:31.:11:33.

week. Thank I -- that is fit for this week thank you watching and

:11:34.:11:35.

goodbye.
