found dead in DNR me I walked for. It's not immediately clear how they | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
died. -- in Vietnam. Hello, and welcome to The Film | :00:00. | :00:23. | |
Review on BBC News. To take us through this week 's cinema releases | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
is Mark Kermode. What do we have? | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Secret In Their Eyes, a remake of the Argentinian award winner. | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
We have The Forest, a wannabe creepy horror movie. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
And Grimsby, the latest from Sacha Baron Cohen. | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
Now, Grimsby sounds like an interesting trait, but we will start | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
with secrets in their eyes. It's a remake of an Argentinian film that | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
won the best skirt -- which won the Best foreign language Oscar. It | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
moves the action of 1970s Argentina to 20th-century America. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
We begin with Chiwetel Ejiofor's former FBI investigator scanning | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
facial images on a screen. It's an interesting opening, through the | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
screen you see faces reflected in his glasses, he sees something and | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
it's obvious he's found something. He goes to Nicole Kidman's district | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
attorney, he's not seen her in a while, he wants her to reopen the | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
case on what looks like shaky foundations. He meets his former | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
colleague, played by Julia Roberts. Here is a clip. Jess. Jesus, how are | :01:36. | :01:49. | |
you? How are you? I'm good. How you? I'm fine. I was just | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
congratulating... Well, you made chief investigator, right? I'm | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
looking at royalty here! Are you still living in Moorpark? Yes, it is | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
quite out there but I like the quiet. I used a bureau? No, I went | :02:08. | :02:19. | |
private sector. -- are you still. I will let you to... No, state police. | :02:20. | :02:30. | |
It's about you. -- no, state police. I found him, Jess. I found Martin. | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
What he thinks he has found is the perpetrator of a hideous crime that | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
joins them together from 13 years ago. The film slips backwards and | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
forwards between 2002 and 2015. It's about obsession, loss, and mirrors | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
and changes from the original. If you are a fan of the original, it's | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
likely you won't find a lot in here that will delight and entertain. It | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
does not have the classic quality of the original. But, it does have a | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
couple of good performances. Chiwetel Ejiofor manages to carry | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
the weight of making a story that does not quite gelled together. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
They've taken the political context from the first film and transposed | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
it to post nine slash 11 America. It makes you just about believe in the | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
structure of the story. The heart and soul of it is Julia Roberts -- | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
9/11 America. She is terrific. She embodies the grief of the story, the | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
possession of the story and the anguish. She really becomes the | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
centre of it. There is meant to be a boiling tension a passionate tension | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
between Chiwetel Ejiofor and Nicole Kidman's character, but it never | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
came together for me. When you compare it to the passion in the | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
original, it is lacking. But, I think Julia Roberts's performance is | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
worth the price of admission. Never rewrite a hit, when you see a number | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
of Swedish Noir films in Hollywood, they aren't as good? No, what has | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
happened is the transition has happened to make it available to an | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
English-speaking multiplex audience. When you see it as a multiplex | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
thriller, it is fine. It is an uneven drama, but Julia Roberts | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
actually did hold it together. And, I could honestly watch Chiwetel | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
Ejiofor reading the phone book. He has a way of convincing you, even | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
when something is not hanging together, you believe in it because | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
you believe in him. For the performances, it is passingly... | :04:42. | :04:51. | |
The Forest. It's a horror movie based in Aokigahara forest. The | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
story is Natalie Dormer is Sarah Price, and discovers her twin has | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
gone into The Forest. She's told if you go into The Forest, you won't | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
return. She goes off to The Forest in search of her. The film becomes a | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
walking tour of horror trope. You go OK, that is the setting, then there | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
are the tents that go bump in the night from the Blair witch Project. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
There are elements of the cabin in the woods. I'm not feeling it! Here | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
is the thing, if you have not seen any of those horror films, as a mid | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
range to luck, it would do fine. But, it has a terribly touristy feel | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
to it. There's nothing in there that has any originality whatsoever. | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
It is utterly mechanical. I've seen far worse. But it is an memorable in | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
the extreme. I've seen far worse! That's going on the poster! I cannot | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
stand horror films where a group of people are told not to do something | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
and they are really -- as it is really stupid and bad, and they do | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
it anyway. You have seen Screen. This is forgettable. The Forgettable | :06:06. | :06:16. | |
Forest would be a better name. -- Scream. Grimsby. How do you find | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
Sacha Baron Cohen? I'm open to it, I can see why it is possibly offensive | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
to anyone in Grimsby. You don't attack people's towns. That is one | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
of the things that has been raised. The story is his character is called | :06:33. | :06:42. | |
Nobby, he lives in Grimsby and walks around in his underpants. His | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
brother is a spy agent, and they end up together, they had to hole up | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
together in Grimsby. Next thing, they are both taking part in the | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
super spy action. Here is a clip. Goodbye, Nobby. Don't worry, I won't | :06:59. | :07:20. | |
leave you! My ankle! Get off me! My ankle has shattered. You'll need to | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
carry me. Get over my shoulder. Sorry! Getting! You'll have to | :07:27. | :07:35. | |
drive. Get going. Don't worry, it's bullet-proof. You can't hit us, we | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
have bullet-proof glass. You laugh... Three times! There we go. I | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
had to say it is three more than me! My problem is, when the director is | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
doing action sequences, he's quite good, but as far as I'm concerned, | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
he does not have a particular eye or ear for comedy. I love Mark Strong, | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
I think him keeping a straight face is fairly impressive. What you don't | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
get from that clip is that as the central idea begins to wear thin, | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
they build up the toilet humour. It's not just bums, but its toilets | :08:19. | :08:27. | |
and bodily fluids, and elephants... Elephants? I'm not even going to | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
begin... It becomes a symphony of grotesquerie. My problem with it is | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
that I'm never very impressed by gross humour. I just don't find it | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
very funny. There are some critics who really like it. Oddly enough, | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
amidst the bodily fluids and excretion, all of that stuff, | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
there's a weird sentimental side to the film, which either offsets or | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
jars with the rest of the film, depending on how you feel. My | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
feeling generally is that the more desperate the desire to outrage, the | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
more the thing falls flat. To be honest, I did not laugh. I sat in a | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
public screening of it, it was about half full. Some people laughed a | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
little but nothing like as much as they should have done. As I was | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
coming out, somebody said "How many times can you make the same joke in | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
one movie?" The answer is very many times indeed. I would be interested | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
to hear what you think. I think you would find 25 minutes, and your | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
patients would be worn out. I may just get the Minions DVD out! It is | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
funny! I don't find people try to shock and offend me funny. We've | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
gone from elephants to Brands. That's your best of the week. I will | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
stop banging on about this, that it is such an interesting film -- Rams. | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
A black comedy, two brothers are separated and they have to join | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
together when their sheep are threatened after an outbreak of a | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
disease. It's deadpan, the more I think about it, the more I like it. | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
Tragicomic. It's great to look at. Worth seeing in the cinema. Later | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
people have come to me and said they've seen it, they really like | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
it. They've come to me as well. There is not going to be a Hollywood | :10:34. | :10:44. | |
remake! With Julia Roberts! Your DVD is Brooklyn. It is a great film. It | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
was is really lovely. I suspect it will come away from the Oscars | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
empty-handed, but I think it is a brilliant adaptation of the book. | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
Saoirse Ronan is brilliant in the central role of an Irish girl who | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
goes to America and finds herself torn between two countries. The film | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
was a hard sell. Grimsby has Sasha Baron Cohen, the other Nicole | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
Kidman, Brooklyn is a hard film to sell but I am yet to find someone | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
who has not loved it who has seen it. You loved it as well? It was | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
very moving, a very nice film. That and Rams. | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
Then you can give Grimsby a pass! For more information, go to the | :11:35. | :11:37. | |

for watching, enjoy the movie. Goodbye. | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
Perhaps it was an afternoon to stay in watching movies today, if you | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
live in Cornwall, let me show you one of the weather Watchers pictures | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
sent in from here. Pretty bleak, it a lot | :11:59. | :11:59. |
