Long, long conversations reflecting scorseses own ambiguity towards his own faith. I know it has been very highly praised, and not many people have gone to see it, but it has been critically tremendously well received. Ifound it. I think that there is a pulse of confusion in it i wasnt clear What Scorsese was actually trying to say. The directors that he admires, the religious directors carl dreyer, withjoan of arc, or Robert Bresson and there is a euphoria in those sorts of films. A movie likejoan of arc. And yet you kind of think, this was scorseses moment to join the ranks of those kind of directors, and im not sure that he has done it, but i know that many people disagree with me. Lets take a little clip here, and a preview. But, padre, if we have fought to travel, for the lord. For me. You must pray for courage. But if we do not do what they want, then there could be danger for everyone in the village. They could be put in prison, ta ken away forever. What should we do . Tremble. Tremble it is all right to tremble. What are you saying . You cant you cant. So, antonia, as you were saying, a long watch, a pretty gruelling watch, but are the performances good . Yeah, absolutely andrew garfield, who you just saw there when he played spiderman, that role did that young actor no favours, and here he is, he has a quality of deeply inherent youthfulness and vulnerability. Anyone who saw him in never let me go will remember that, and also a japanese actor, issey ogato, he plays The Grand Inquisitor in this, and he is an incredible actor, an ingenious bit of casting for scorsese. He has always been brilliant at casting. And this is a comedic actor, but he playing someone who does the most terrible things, hes a comedic actor, he has these wonderful kabuki gestures, and the performance really are something else. Of course we have all kinds of movies here. Something pretty different, passengers silence, gruelling, but is passengers something easier . A lot fluffier, a lot more fun, this is about two passengers in suspended animation, in hibernation for 120 years on their way to a new colony on a new planet and, for reasons we will not go into for spoiler alerts, they wake up early. Its a wonderful idea, so simple two strangers facing an eternity together, walking endless corridors, gigantic spaceship, and, breaking into the entertainment facilities, and with their little wristbands. One of the funniest things is the ways in which even though no one else exists, you are still slaves to how your life had been formalised before you left earth. Also this lovely simmering sexual tension between the two main stars. It would have been all right to leave it at that, but then there is all this derring do, in the third act, which i dont think was entirely necessary. You can feel moments where it is reaching for some tougher kind of glory think of Something Like alien and wandering the corridors of that spaceship, an intensely sinister and threatening place to be, but this place looks pretty nice. I would not mind moving there myself and there are moments when you are shown how jerry built this craft is, you know, he is hammering away against things, putting fuses together to get things to work, that ought to have been frightening and made me feel how vulnerable these people are, and yet it does not quite do that. There is a wonderful little cameo, where Michael Sheen plays a bartender, a rather sinister bartender. He is a robot. And you can see that he is struggling with the part, trying to bring more to it than is there on the page, but unfortunately, it is not on the page, but it is fun. Lets talk about assassins creed, which gamers will be very familiar with, based on the video game. Movies used to be based on novels. Now they are based on video games what did you make of that . Well, this is catastrophic, really. Nine instalments in this video franchise, one of those movies that has been long in production, lots of re shoots, rejigs, and it stars michael fassbender, marion cotillard, jeremy irons, Charlotte Rampling an incredible cast. To even begin to describe the plot, i am not even sure there is any point. Its assassins against Knights Templar lets take a look. Do you recognise this . It is an assassins blade. This is the actual one that your father used to take your mothers life. Hes here, you know. Your mothers death, not something a boy should ever be made to see. Charitably, but i am sure a lot of people will go so, catastrophic, you said. Charitably, but i am sure a lot of people will go to see it nonetheless. Why do you think it doesnt work . Its so unbelievably incoherent, extraordinary, it is. It opens with three flashbacks, three flashbacks what a flashback does in a film, someone is standing there and saying, hang on a sec, let me fill you in, and then they do that twice more. Hang on, if you dont know this the rest wont make any sense. Three times, 15 minutes it feels like the movie never starts, then you are and you feel like the movie will never end. It feels like the movie never starts, then you are in there and you feel like the movie will never end. I went to the cinema to see this, two people were asleep at the end of the row that i was sitting on, that sums it up. Probably does never mind. So that is assassins creed. Best movie out at the moment, in your opinion. In your opinion . A Monster Calls now this is the most extraordinary sell, actually, it is a Fantastical Terminal Illness Melodrama for children. Is maybe it is not for children it stars a 12 year old boy. It is about him dealing with his mothers cancer. Hes visited by a yew tree, over a few evenings, and it is played by liam neeson, it has a wonderful shape, dickensian shed, visited three times to be shown things that may help you deal with life. It is a flat out classic it has the emotional heft of the railway children, moments of iron man by ted hughes and pans labyrinth. I think it is a Masterpiece Go and see it and take all of the family. Good recommendation best dvd . A Terrific Film which is just featured quite a lot in the Golden Globes nominations. Hell or high water, ben foster and chris pine, bank robber brothers, and jeff bridges is the texas ranger who is tracking them down, which sounds terribly familiar, that kind of plot, and features a great deal in cinema. One of them is on a roll, the other brother is a little too wild, the texas ranger is always a step ahead of them. But it feels like a movie of the mid 1970s or early 1980s, one of those fantastic films like midnight run, where you come away from it thinking, you will look through the tv listings and think, Hell Or High Water is on tonight, unmissable, fantastic it has slotted into that classic film territory already, and jeff bridges has been nominated for a Golden Globes for his best supporting actor and he does the most fantastic thing towards the end of the movie. There is a death scene, and just in a couple of seconds you see everything Thatjeff Bridges can offer as an actor, the way that he absorbs the shock it is a really magical moment, such a Terrific Film.
