this weekend. That is all coming up on sports day.

:00:00.:00:00.

Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News.

:00:00.:00:22.

To take us through this week's cinema releases is James King.

:00:23.:00:25.

There has been murdered in the East End in the Limehouse Golem. A New

:00:26.:00:44.

Jersey girl thing she is the unlikely saviour of hip-hop in Patti

:00:45.:00:49.

Cakes. And he said I'll be back and now he is. Big Arnie returns in the

:00:50.:00:57.

3D rerelease of Terminator 2. He did warn us, didn't he? We will save the

:00:58.:01:04.

best for last. Bill Nighy yours a big draw. What did you make of it?

:01:05.:01:11.

Yelling at a big fan. This is set in Victorian era London. A big fan. A

:01:12.:01:16.

thriller about a murderer on the loose. A police detective who is

:01:17.:01:20.

charged with tracking down the serial killer, the Limehouse Golem.

:01:21.:01:27.

Here he is in action. At Ratcliffe Highway

:01:28.:01:31.

who slaughtered a household. The previous week

:01:32.:01:56.

a prostitute, Alice Stanton. Laid upon the open pages

:01:57.:01:57.

of a book on Jewish I found it very gripping. It was

:01:58.:02:36.

gory in parts. It has a thriller rather than a horror film. For me it

:02:37.:02:44.

was all about the past. To be honest, I would watch any of those

:02:45.:02:47.

reactors in anything anyway. Three of my favourite actors. Olivia Cook

:02:48.:02:54.

is good as is Douglas Booth. What is going on in this film is an

:02:55.:02:58.

undercurrent to the murder story, that thriller. Really it is a film

:02:59.:03:03.

about performance. It is about how performance was so important at this

:03:04.:03:08.

time in the musicals but also just people in their everyday lives.

:03:09.:03:10.

There are people in this movie you are putting on a mask every day and

:03:11.:03:17.

playing roles. Then there is the Golem himself, the serial killer the

:03:18.:03:22.

warped performer who wants recognition. When you have that

:03:23.:03:27.

undercurrent running through the movie, it gives the cast something

:03:28.:03:31.

very juicy to sink their teeth into. It is a very seductive world. Very

:03:32.:03:39.

rich, very seductive. That is a great thing to watch at the movies

:03:40.:03:45.

as well. Jane Goldman adapted the book originally. She has done a very

:03:46.:03:50.

good job. There is a lot of plot going on in there. She has done a

:03:51.:03:56.

great job of streamlining it, drip feeding information. The penny

:03:57.:03:59.

dropped just the right moment. I was big fan. Patti Cakes, didn't it have

:04:00.:04:12.

a lot of praise at Sundance? Sometimes you get films which cross

:04:13.:04:16.

over. Fox would love this to be a big crossover. It is about a girl

:04:17.:04:22.

from New Jersey who leads a very downbeat life. Dreams of making it

:04:23.:04:29.

big in the rap world, in hip-hop. Danielle MacDonald, an Australian

:04:30.:04:37.

actress actually. It is very funny and charming but it does not quite

:04:38.:04:41.

know what it wants to be. Sometimes it is very kitsch and camp. Reminded

:04:42.:04:47.

me a bit of hairspray. That is a great film, great fun. Sometimes

:04:48.:04:52.

this film then gets serious and wants to make a ul and social points

:04:53.:04:59.

and goes eight miles and Eminem, the opposite route. The problem is it is

:05:00.:05:05.

six of one and half a dozen of the other. The music is great. I like

:05:06.:05:10.

that it is quite subversive, but in this overweight white girl in the

:05:11.:05:17.

world of hip-hop. Shaking things up quite a lot. I'm not sure whether it

:05:18.:05:23.

quite knows whether it is long, deep or serious. It is an unsettled mix

:05:24.:05:28.

of the two. It does not quite know what it wants to be that she is one

:05:29.:05:34.

to watch? Very charismatic. Look out for her. I said we were to save the

:05:35.:05:40.

best till last. Terminator 2, so good they have brought it back

:05:41.:05:47.

decades later. 26 years later, in 3D. Someone would say

:05:48.:05:51.

Schwarzenegger's acting was barely into dealer to learn 3D. James

:05:52.:05:56.

Cameron, the director who had success with Titanic has the same

:05:57.:06:00.

team to do the same thing with Terminator 2. Let's have look at a

:06:01.:06:02.

classic scene. You've got to listen

:06:03.:06:08.

to the way people talk. If someone comes up

:06:09.:06:18.

to you with an attitude, And if you want to shine them on,

:06:19.:06:27.

it's hasta la vista, baby. Or if someone gets upset,

:06:28.:06:33.

you say chill out. I had almost forgotten that phrase

:06:34.:06:56.

but now it is back to haunt us all. Is there a point to this question he

:06:57.:07:01.

has reworked it for the bid is all in 3D. Do we need to see it? I saw

:07:02.:07:08.

it when it came out on the big screen. I waited a long time that

:07:09.:07:13.

just seeing it on the big screen, forget that the reedy element. It is

:07:14.:07:21.

amazing. It is this movie of awesome sentences. -- the 3D element. It is

:07:22.:07:31.

great to see one of the great action heroes of all time on the screen.

:07:32.:07:36.

Maybe you have never seen it on the big screen for that this is why it

:07:37.:07:41.

is a great opportunity to catch up with Terminator 2. Some of the

:07:42.:07:45.

special effects do look a little bit creepy now. James Cameron has

:07:46.:07:50.

admitted that. The movie has such power, it is so gutsy, so full of

:07:51.:07:54.

bravado that it does still pack a punch. He may be very young and not

:07:55.:08:04.

even born when it was first released. Maybe there is a whole new

:08:05.:08:06.

audience for that. Will they look and think it is all dated will stop

:08:07.:08:10.

in 1991 this was the most expensive film of all time for the even know

:08:11.:08:14.

it is old now it still holds up because they put so much into it

:08:15.:08:17.

when it first came out. Worth having a look at if you have never seen it

:08:18.:08:22.

before. You forget how expensive it was. Best out? Detroit. A tough

:08:23.:08:30.

movie to watch. Based on true events in Detroit 50 years ago actually.

:08:31.:08:35.

Fatal events of one night in the city. It is doing OK business in the

:08:36.:08:40.

UK at the moment. Like to see it do better. Perhaps we have had our fill

:08:41.:08:46.

of intensity with Dunkirk. People just can't handle another tough,

:08:47.:08:51.

intense true story at the cinema. Is worth seeing. Look out for will

:08:52.:08:59.

Poulter who is fantastic. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow. He was married

:09:00.:09:03.

to James Cameron when he did Terminator 2. I hope it does better

:09:04.:09:09.

at the cinema. It deserves to. Absolutely. DVD... Something to lift

:09:10.:09:15.

us. If you don't want all the dark and bleak. Something very funny and

:09:16.:09:21.

silly to lift us all. This is a comedy about an out of work actor he

:09:22.:09:28.

was big in a TV detective show in the 80s. Then he gets a call from

:09:29.:09:33.

the police saying there is a criminal on the loose who is

:09:34.:09:37.

obsessed with the old TV show, Mindhorn. We needed to get back into

:09:38.:09:41.

gather and help us solve the crime. Some very funny gags in this about

:09:42.:09:47.

acting and TV detectives. Lots of references to John nettles. Lots of

:09:48.:09:53.

references about Bergerac. Done with affection. Steve Coogan is involved

:09:54.:10:02.

in it. A producer and co-star. Elements of Alan Partridge. He was

:10:03.:10:06.

another minor celebrity who was down on his luck. Even though you are

:10:07.:10:11.

laughing, it is done with respect for the genres it is taking the make

:10:12.:10:16.

out. That is the key. Some people felt it was almost like a series of

:10:17.:10:20.

TV sketches sewn together to make a film. The" it are an absolute Joy. I

:10:21.:10:27.

did not know that bit. That is a good tip. That will lift us all.

:10:28.:10:34.

Thank you. Lovely to see you. Thank you very much, James King, with all

:10:35.:10:37.

your pointers as to what you might like to see this week.

:10:38.:10:40.

Enjoy whatever you might see over the next few days.

:10:41.:10:47.

Plenty of sunny spell is out there today. Some of us have had

:10:48.:11:05.

threatening skies. This picture from North Yorkshire. Stretching down

:11:06.:11:07.

into East
