POLLOCK IS BACK WITH US NOW JUST ONE WEEK ABOUT SINCE THE OSCARS, BUT NOW WE ARE CARRYING ON IN 2020 MOVIES FIRST WE’RE TALKING ABOUT DOWNHILL AND YOU SAY IT IS EXACTLY THAT YEAH MEREDITH.
I’M AFRAID IT’S ALL DOWNHILL FOR THIS FILM.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE THINKING.
THIS IS A REMAKE OF A 2014 SWEDISH FILM THAT WAS NOMINATED FOR A GOLDEN GLOBE.
GOT A LOT OF CRITICAL ACCLAIM AND THEY DECIDED TO REMAKE IT WITH JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS AND WILL FERRELL WHO ARE BOTH COMPLETELY MISCAST IN THIS SERIOUS TRAUMA.
THIS SETUP IS VERY SIMPLE A FAMILY IS ENJOYING BREAKFAST ON A TERRORIST.
IN THE SWISS ALPS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IN AVALANCHE OVERTAKES THEM THE MOTHER SHELTERS HER TWO SONS THE FATHER TAKES OFF AND WHEN HE COMES BACK TO FAMILY KNOWS THAT HE RAN AND THAT’S THE
CRUX OF THE STORY.
OKAY, YOU CAN DO SOME THINGS WITH THAT DRAMATICALLY, BUT NOT WITH THESE TWO ACTORS YOU ARE CONSTANTLY WAITING FOR WILL FERRELL TO GO INTO SLAPSTICK OR JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS TO GO INT
AND THEY DO IN SOME WAYS, BUT IT’S NEVER COMEDIC ALI.
SO WHAT YOU HAVE IS THE TO WRONG ACTORS IN A MISGUIDED REMAKE AND THE RESULT IS JUST A BAD FILM.
HE SAID IT.
OKAY MOVING ON THE NEXT THING WE’RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS A HIDDEN LIFE AND I’LL GO THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE WAY THIS TO ME IS A WORK OF GENIUS.
I THOUGHT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOMINATED FOR AN ACADEMY AWARD.
IT’S WRITTEN DIRECTED BY TERRENCE MALICK, WHO IS AN CHOR ART DIRECTOR AND THIS FILM IS ABOUT A CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR IN GERMANY DURING WORLD WAR II HE REFUSES TO RAISE HIS HAND IN
THE HITLER SALUTE AND HIS ENTIRE LIFE IS TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM.
THIS FILM IS ACHINGLY BEAUTIFUL.
IT’S INCREDIBLY SHOT.
IT’S IN GERMAN.
SO THERE’S SUBTITLES BUT THE STORY IS VERY UNIVERSAL AND IT’S ABOUT HOW YOU CANNOT.
EXTINGUISH THE HUMAN SPIRIT AND AS WE LEARNED LAST WEEK FROM PARASITE IN THE OSCARS TO NOT BE AFRAID OF THE SUBTITLE WALL.
THAT’S RIGHT, AND THIS IS AN AMERICAN DIRECTOR MAKING A FILM IN GERMANY.
IT HAS AN AMERICAN SENSIBILITY.
IT’S JUST I THINK A VERY POWERFUL FILM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING IT.
THANK YOU.
AND FINALLY WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THOSE OSCAR-WINNING SHORT FILMS.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THEM IN A THEATER THE APERTURE THIS WEEKEND AND THERE ARE THREE THREE THAT ONE LEARNING TO SKATEBOARD IN A WAR.
IT’S THE DOCUMENTARY WINNER.
I LOVE A SHORT CALLED ST.
LOUIS SUPERMAN ABOUT A RAPPER WHO RUNS FOR OFFICE.
THAT DIDN’T WIN THE OTHER ONE DID BUT THEY’RE ALL WORTH SEEING IN THE SAME IS TRUE OF THE ANIMATED FILMS HAIR LOSS OF WHICH ONE IS INCREDIBLE, BUT I LOVED ONE CALLED MEMORABLE WHICH
USES CLAYMATION ANIMATION A VERY POWERFUL STORY ABOUT ALZHEIMER’S AND FINALLY THE NEIGHBORS WINDOW ONE SHORT LIVE ACTION.
I LOVE ONE CALLED THE NEFTA FOOTBALL CLUB, WHICH IS A GREAT JOKE FILM SET UP PAY OFF ALL THE WAY.
SO THESE FILMS ARE DELIGHTFUL.
YOU ALMOST NEVER GET TO SEE THEM IN THE THEATER.
THEY ONLY COME AROUND AND OSCAR TIME AND THE FACT THAT THEY’RE STILL HERE IN ABLE TO SEE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES RIGHT HERE IN THE TRIAD.
ALL RIGHT DALE AFTER THAT WIDE RANGE REVIEWS HOW THE POPCORNS LOOKING TODAY.
ALRIGHT, WE’RE I’M AFRAID WE’RE DOWN TO TWO POP.
ORANGE FOR DOWNHILL TWO SKIS TO POP COURSE THEN WE GO TO A HIDDEN LIFE AND THAT’S 5 POPCORN BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST FILMS OF THE YEAR AND THE OSCAR SHORTS ARE ALWAYS ON A
VERY HIGH LEVEL.
THIS YEAR’S WERE A LITTLE HIGHER SO THEY ALSO GET FIVE POPCORNS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH JAIL KEEPING HIM HONEST FOR MORE MOVIES AND REVIEWS, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO HEAD ON OVER TO DALE'
