medals and why Ian Poulter's foot could end his Ryder Cup hopes. That | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
is coming up at half past six. Now it is time for the film review. | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
Hello and welcome to THE FILM REVIEW on BBC News. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
To take us through this week's cinema releases is Anna Smith. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
We have got the nice guys, a crime comedy caper set in 1977 LA starring | :00:27. | :00:37. | |
Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe. Then we have got Me Before You, a British | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
we be based on a novel and stars Emilia Clarke. Finally Race, the | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
story of Jesse Owens and the Berlin Olympics. Nice guys I am a devoted | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
and I want to see if Ryan Gosling can do, Lake. He really can. I | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
thought he was very funny. It is from Shane Black. He brought us kiss | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
kiss bang bang. It is the story of a Private eye, Ryan Gosling and | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
Russell Crowe who is a heavy. They team up for an intriguing plot to do | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
with pawn stars and missing young women and corrupt politicians and | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
when they first meet, the Russell Crowe character is hard to beat up | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
Ryan Gosling. You are a Private investigator? There is 20 bucks. | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
Take it. Do you want to know why I am here? We can do it the easy way | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
or the hard way. Old lady hardly to find her knees. They just gave up | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
your client. You just gave her up. I thought that is what you wanted. Now | :01:55. | :02:03. | |
I am very sorry that you did not get the message. I do get. | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
What about now? Give me your left arm. Your left arm, give me yet. No! | :02:10. | :02:21. | |
No! Look, when you're talking to your doctor, tell them you have a | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
spiral fracture of the left radius. Deep breath. Do you mind if I have | :02:27. | :02:36. | |
an apple? I am afraid I laughed all the way through. It is funny and I | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
am surprised that Russell Crowe was so funny. I do not know if he was | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
ever funny. They try to make him funny in a good year. He is meant to | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
be as misanthropic as a heavy. It works for him, playing a gruff guy | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
compared to the slightly effeminate that big a effeminate Ryan Gosling. | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
It is business for him. Self-diagnosis heavy. Honour amongst | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
thieves. They play off each other well. They go to crazy parties in | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
the LA hills, pool parties with pawn actors, a great scene where Ryan | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
Gosling jumps into a tank full of mermaids. He says he had to question | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
them. Some great one-liners, cult potential. The plot was a bit | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
convoluted. It felt it had about three false endings. If it was | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
shorter, it would have been better. For fans of Carl Hyacinth who writes | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
about these bad guys, who are quite funny, it sounds like a hit. I think | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
will be. Me Before You. This is a British film based on a novel which | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
is a weepy about a young girl played by Emilia Clarke who goes to work | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
for a stern gentleman played by Sam Claflin. He is a quadriplegic, | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
injured in an accident and it is about the romance that develops | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
between the two of them. It is a familiar story, it reminded me of | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
the sound of music in that the innocent young girl and the very | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
wealthy older man getting together. It did get me in the end, it is an | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
emotional experience but on the way it is terribly clunky. Emilia Clarke | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
from game of thrones, trying to do this, the act. He seems to be in a | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
drama. The director does her best but she is better known for theatre | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
and I felt this did not come together as an melodrama or a | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
comedy. This is the Friday night gender divide movie time, because | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
any bloke going with his girlfriend or wife and he sees that, will | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
immediately say, at the scene The Nice Guys? Ryan Gosling is in it! I | :05:02. | :05:11. | |
do not think any gentleman would be interested in that. I would rather | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
see The Nice Guys. It is for young girls who enjoyed the likes of the | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
fault in their starters. It delivers on a very basic manipulative level. | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
I do not know they still do them, at the American voice-overs for | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
trailers were some guy says you will not be afraid to cry. I am afraid to | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
die -- cry. Res. This is the story of Jesse Owens who won four gold | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
medals at the Berlin Olympics. It takes us from 1933 when he was just | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
trying to make it as an athlete and he is being coached by Jason | :05:49. | :05:58. | |
Sudeikis. Here is a clip. Do you want to win a gold medal? Sure. Do | :05:59. | :06:07. | |
you want to do it in Berlin? Unless you were planning on waiting. You | :06:08. | :06:16. | |
know, I heard they do not care much for coloured folk. They do not care | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
for the much here in Columbus either. Will that be a problem? No, | :06:20. | :06:28. | |
sir. I just came here to run. Then for the next 28 months, you're | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
either in a classroom or on that track, every hour, every day, and I | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
do not care about your grades. I do not care about your buddies and I do | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
not care as you have a girl at home, rolling down silk stockings with | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
that look in her eye. We have a saying,. -- yes. Go home and get | :06:46. | :06:54. | |
some rest, 9am tomorrow, we will see how good you really are. I felt this | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
was an extraordinary story but it is an ordinary film. It is told in a | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
plodding fashion. It is very slow. It comes into its own towards the | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
end when you get to the Olympics seems. I felt that was more in this | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
story, so many issues regarding race, this was a time when was a | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
conversation about whether America should even go to the Olympics, | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
because of Hitler and then Jeremy irons comes in as a member of the | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
Olympic Committee, all that is interesting in theory, in practice, | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
it was not told in a riveting fashion. That is disappointing. | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
First of all, it is not a sprint, 134 minutes long, when you hit two | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
hours, you start to flag a little bit unless there is a degree of | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
genius. As you may have seen, that was not the worst, a lot of the | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
dialogue is so familiar and I felt I was watching actors reading a script | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
rather than his life actually coming to life. If you want to learn about | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
him, there is plenty to say. It touched on it there, the fact is | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
that people of colour as it was described in the film, in Columbus, | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
Ohio, were not terribly popular. Nazi Germany was different and we | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
know what happened subsequently, but the 1936 games, it was difficult for | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
any black athlete to compete, but it was pretty difficult for them to | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
train in the US as well, even the Army was segregated. It does show | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
it, but not in a particularly interesting ways. The pep talks, the | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
motivational speeches all seemed familiar. It touches on interesting | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
things, perhaps the most effective scene is when he comes home, he | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
comes home and he had a ceremony where he is asked to go around the | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
tradesman 's entrance. There are moments like that that ring true. | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
The spectacle, Berlin, 1936 and Hitler, did that work? That is the | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
one that worked, they filmed it in the stadium and it is gripping. It | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
is worth hanging in there for the final sprint. Come in late. Your | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
best is a bit of Jane Austen. Love Friendship, very sparky and funny. | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
Kate Beckinsale plays Lady Susan Vernon who is a mischievous widow | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
and very glamorous who goes to the country to make merry with her | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
relatives. It introduces a great actor, Tom Bennett, an eligible | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
bachelor in terms of his money but not his character. There is a lot of | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
buffoonery. This is a you certificate, but it is very adult in | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
ways. It is all said. Jane Austen. Witty script. Your DVD, goose bumps. | :09:48. | :09:57. | |
This is a children's film. It is one you could sit down to with the kids | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
and enjoy. Jack Black stars as the author of the stories, they are real | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
stories, written by RL Stine. They fictionalise the author and make him | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
into a creepy character and it is a good idea, the idea is that his | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
books come to light, they are under lock and key but his daughter and | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
the boy next door find them and suddenly the abominable snowman is | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
running riot. It sounds quite like timber trim. It is not. Originally | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
he was going to be involved. How Young Kenny get away with? It is a | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
PG. Thank you. A quick reminder before we go that | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
