Conversation and unearthed his story of the last few years and managed to get that told. What was it like talking about his story, because a lot of war veterans dont like to talk about it. Now, archie, he did not have any problems talking about war, he was very honest and open and pragmatic about everything, he never really dwelled on it. On the morbid 01 really dwelled on it. On the morbid or darker side of war, the memories, the happy ones despite the tragedy he suffered in 1941 when he was shot down and lost his left arm but she would live with for the rest of his life. Always talks about it. understand he is a bit of a prankster. Yes, he did like his jokes. One story that always sticks in my mind is when he was posted out to north africa and they had to bury some hurricanes back in long haul staging flights and with little entertainment in the air and one story is he was flying wing to wing with another aircraft and the pilot was looking the other way and he got so close that he tapped the wing of the other aircraft at the other pilot down and gave him a bit of a surprise. That is one of many that sticks in my mind. Now on bbc news its time for the film review. Hello and a very warm welcome into the film review on bbc news to take us through this weeks cinema releases is jason. What have you been watching . Jane, the action movie alert, two of the biggest stars of that genre go had two baldhead. It is dwaynejohnson and Jason Statham as hobbs and shaw and a fast and furious spin off. And a sequal to a video game that no one plays anyway but can be flightless birds and the green pegs unite to lay an animated golden egg at the Summer Box Office with angry birds two . And long lasting female friendship is tested by a busy night out and the arrival of the new man on a scene. They star in animals. It is august. Have you been having fun . It is fun. Some of the movies are a bit strange and then you get some really good ones, what they called counter programming so i have some foreign gems a little laterfor you in the programme but we will start with fast and furious hobbs and shaw, attack of the ampersands as you can see, very rarely that you get two in the title. Action lovers will find themselves between a rock and a stath place. See what i did there . Dwayne johnson is hobbs and Jason Statham as shaw. Them boldly stare each other down and like angry beasts, scowling at each other. One is recreated in la and one is recreated in london and together they come together, though they do not want to, they are angry about this and they take on a bionic villain played by idris elba and he has invented a super virus that will affect a world and the trouble is it has been put inside shaws sister, Princess Margaret in the crown. Doing something not very Princess Margarety here, and sailing down the cheese grater and a chase sequence. As you do. Now or never. Im more of a now type of guy on my three . Sure. One, two, three no one tells me what to do music. Laughs. And i guess it is kind of like that for two hours . About there . Two hours, fast and furious. Just what it says on the tin and it is a very popular franchise and i really enjoyed the last view with the car chases, normally they go from rio and tokyo. Here we are in ukraine, london, although i did not recognise the city and quite a bit of it was shot in glasgow and i thought i did not recognise london and that one. They go to ukraine, samoa and there are cart, car chases with helicopters and drones and things explode all over the place and they have to get the virus out of her or it will explode and they want to destroy the human race but hobbs and shaw want to save the world. It is not quite as fun as perhaps it thinks it is going to be, the dialogue between hobbs and shaw doesnt release sparkle, i think the script thought this would be funny but Jason Statham and the rock seemed to face off and neither wants to crack and neither wants to give way. No one wants to give anything, idris elba is macho and it as well and it does come down to and all this and they asked me not to tell you but there is a lot of celebrity cameos in the film. I am not allowed to reveal them as if this would perk it up. Oh, the film maker said that . Do not let on that there are people like dan helen mirren. Is it because you are in it . I wish i was. That alone does not really perk it up. There is a lot of furious and not enough fun. Is the next film any more fun . I am guessing it is aimed at children . Is that a fair supposition . Angr birds 2, the movie. It is aimed at children, drunk students, or people who play video games on their phone. So basically all the same. This is an animation that the first film was a surprise hit so of course there will be a sequel. It is very different to the first one and the first one had the birds on one island being played pranks by the green pegs on another island. The plot is really not complicated and i did not know why i am bothering to explain it. Then there is an eagle on the other island who is really angry and she is lobbing ice bombs at both islands and the birds and the pigs have to team up to defeat the angry eagle. They are like a war Mission Movie or heist movie. That is my film reference. The plot should not be complicated, it is august it isnt. What i suggest is you let it wash over you because the bright colours and animation, it is quite funny and you have a great voice cast, bill haider, peter gingrich. You have lots of pop songs from eltonjohn to axel f and dance off between eagles and a puppet bird who looks like big bird. To get silly and there is a plot with hatchlings who steal eggs and they are voiced by the daughters of Nicole Kidman and keith urban. Not saying that the nepotism does not work in hollywood. That your children and young into the hollywood scene. It is deliriously silly and i surrendered myself to the sugar rush of the visual and rather enjoyed it and my children dead as well. Good. That is a good recommendation. Your third pick this week was based on a novel which i am afraid you have not read and i am coming at it cold. I will give you a secret, i have not read it either. It is written by Emma Jane Unsworth and she actually wrote the script as well that there is a connection there. Normally do not do that, and you usually surrender your control but she is actually done a really good job of getting the script right. This film has been described as being out with now and i and you can see why because it is about two girls who have been living together in dublin and very close relationship and they fuel each others drug and alcohol taking and they stall each Others Development and they are very co dependent and very witty and very funny together. Very hard to break into this relationship but impending 30th birthdays loom and Family Responsibilities and the arrival of the new fellow puts this relationship under threat. Hey. Hi. Interesting choice. I suppose im intrigued by all these people, jotting down notes in their little notebooks not actually getting anywhere. How do you know they are not getting anywhere . Because theyre still here, trying, jotting down notes in their little notebooks every day. Plus, its the only place open this early with the decent wine. But the trying is the thing. Ive always thought were not defined by who we are but who we try to be. I always tried too hard at school. I always did everything too hard. Who said that to you . Im only a pianist because a sit down and do it every day. So, leave them alone. And holiday granger, who we are talking about not that long ago on this programme. Where she did another good accent, i do not know what her real accent as. She had a very good accent and tell it to the bees. Another female powered film and as i say like with nelland iforgirls, which is a very good thing. You can feel that and the sketchiness of the untidy nest of their relationship. I really like this, a lot. I thought the relationship was really well done and the director is good on the atmosphere and the sensitivity of a relationship that is blooming but cannot last and is going to change and someone will getjealous. Holiday granger is fantastic and it and she has this great charm to her and she is good at doing that first flash of white wine and the colour returns to her cheeks. I thought it was well done and a real cult classic in the making this film. That is interesting and i look forward to it and i expect a lot of things that lots of people will be. I am struck by your best out this week because i cannot believe it is 30 years 30 years since do the right thing . And almost to the day, this film change the world in several ways. The first film review i ever wrote from the university magazine, which is why i do this job is because of this film but even on a grander scale and change the world. The know how . I do not but you can tell me. Michelle obama and barack obama went to see this film on theirfirst date. And that is how they forge their sensibilities and their colour and got all the way to the white house and this film literally did change the world. It is by spike lee and of course it is set over one boiling hot night in new york in front of sals pizzeria where mookey the delivery boy played by spike lee gets involved and it boils up to a race riot which is the main thing but really it is about the visuals of spike lee. But it is beautiful to look at as well, it evokes and i watched it recently because we had our own heatwave here and you can feel the heat of brooklyn almost coming off of the screen and the fabulous bright colours. It is terrific. The dialogue and the soundtrack is amazing. Fight the power by public enemy, a old time hip hop track which is a powerful start and rosie perez dancing to it. One of my favourite films of all time and one of the best films and spike lee is still doing this, if you watch netflix, he has two seasons of she has got to have it on there which is his originalfilm and that is brilliant as well. Still looking at brooklyn that is very changed and those 30 years and the gentrification that is going on but still talking about black issues and black history, i think it is a brilliant film and it is out and the sentiments, 4k restorations of those colours you talked about, they are even brighter and more ferocious and hot. Fantastic, 30 year rerelease of did the right thing. Quick thought about dvd, streaming . There is a film called the chambermaid which is set in mexico city. I suppose a companion piece to Alfonso Cuarons roma which nearly won the oscars. It is about a hotel cleaner in mexico city and we see her working in the hotel, the divide between wealthy and poor customers and clients and guests and the hotel staff, the picture of her is in the laundry room there, we see trying to work her way up as hotel latter. I thought it was brilliant and a really great performance and directed very well in the first film. Agent to find online. Thank you very much, good to see you and see you again soon. Enjoy your sentiment going. That is for this week. See you next time. Goodbye.
