5:49 pm
house with the racial elements in there and that is to the fore here. 0ctavia spencer who won the oscar for her supporting act dress role in the help and with that director that she re—teams here. for a film that has very good credentials. juliette lewis stars in it. alice and jenny also stars in it. small roles, it is about 0ctavia spencer really who plays a woman who agrees to have some teenagers buy some alcohol because in the us they cannot do it so because in the us they cannot do it soi because in the us they cannot do it so i don't have to do it. provided they come back to hers and party in her basement. they do that but then she gets a bit needy and they think we shouldn't do that and find another bingo. leaving 0ctavia spencer's ma feeling put out of joint and turning a little bit in dockery. as we can see in this clip. —— turning a bit of a stalker. phone repeatedly chimes. hey, this is ma.
5:50 pm

5:51 pm
something happened in her past what she is wrecking some alcoholic revenge on these particular teenagers. so it is quite a clever little film but it doesn't really get out or us, much bigger films than the little horror film. it has a old—fashioned than the little horror film. it has a old —fashioned 80 than the little horror film. it has a old—fashioned 80 slasher movie by two it. that isn't quite scary enough to carry it through. is it aimed at teenagers?” enough to carry it through. is it aimed at teenagers? i would think so. aimed at teenagers? i would think so. don't drink, teenagers. don't drink with ma. heaven forbid. what have we got next? i think it is godzilla. anything like the films that i saw? tv series. they were invented in tokyo in 1954 as a response to the nuclear threat, leading these titans, these dinosaurs. you are the two adverts. from the big munster. they said it is a long shot but it may just work and give to they said it is a long shot but it mayjust work and give to us.
5:52 pm
0ccupying them. mayjust work and give to us. 0ccu pying them. the mayjust work and give to us. 0ccupying them. the dialogue is a much better in this then it was in those two adverts of the 70s. but the titans have been unleashed against again because of a nuclear threat. he wants to print the titans against each other. with these, you want to wait till the monsters class. you don't really care about the humans evenif don't really care about the humans even if they are played by sally hawkins. if you remember the is good what monsters and contact with them. she doesn't bother with that here. you really want the monsters to fight each other. what will godzilla be? will he beat med door or my throat. will he get slammed down? when i am waiting for is godzilla versus king kong. that is coming. when i am waiting for is godzilla versus king kong. that is comingm has to. that is the class we are waiting for. that is the big purse. is there enough of the monsters in this? sometimes, the knew godzilla
5:53 pm
movies the monsters are so big. it is full of actors going like this and you never get to see the full scale. in this one, you get to see the well cgi mice are taking on each other. at boston fenway park. the well cgi mice are taking on each other. at boston fenway parklj the well cgi mice are taking on each other. at boston fenway park. i have enjoyed a baseball game there. the dinosaurs we re were not appearing that night. sunset is next. a hungarian film. the oscar—winning director laszlo. gave us one of the greatest holocaust films. he is back with a film called sunset, easily the film of the week. terrific. but it is very confusing. it stars a woman played by a newcomer, a woman called iris. we see things through her eyes and watch her face almost continuously. she arrives in budapest in 1913, flowering, grey society full of inventions and industry, she wants to work in a hat shop that used to belong to her
5:54 pm

5:55 pm
will pull out a blue and peasants will pull out a blue and peasants will come with flaming torches and coach. aristocrats will be randomly assassinated. while in the same shot and you are like what is going on? the point is you don't know what is going on. it is about the collapse of the austrian hungarian empire in about europe now and how that could come to fruition. at the height of intellectual sophistication, how does it turn bad and how do we turn ourselves. why do we destroy our own societies? that is what this is asking. it does it brilliantly. great performance from her. she is in every shot. we are seeing it to her eyes. extraordinary. best out you have chosen rocket man. taryn egger ten and his platforms. bursting through every door ina big in a big outfit playing eltonjohn. ina in a big outfit playing eltonjohn. in a biopic that really isn't a biopic. it is sort of about elton john and his friendship with bernie. it is fabulous. it is a neorealism
