It is now time to the film review. Hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks Cinema Releases is mark kermode. So mark, what do we have this week . This week we have the eyes of tammy faye. Im dying to know what you think of it. Jack has forever, 20 years on and still doing it. And moonfall in which the moon. Falls. This is the story of tammy faye baker. There byjessica and andrew garfield. The film follows their rights to Money Spinning televangelists and, preaching the Prosperity Doctrine that god wants you to be successful. God wants his followers to be rich. Obviously, there is hucksterism involved in this and he did serve time. As for tammy faye, she broke ranks with the evangelical right by reaching out to people with hiv, aids in the early 805, which was seen by the evangelical right as completely beyond the pale. And therefore became something of an lgbt icon. She is played byjessica who embraced the role entirely. 0k. Do you want a little remover . Oh, no. Thats it. That will be all. They permanently lined. 0h. In my eyes are permanently lined to my eyebrows or permanently lined. It is not a whole lot you can do. My goodness. I didnt know. Have you never done pictures without those eyelashes . No, no, and i neverwill. Because thats my trademark and if i take that away then its not me. And no 1s going to want to look at him with my trademark. So, i hold onto that. Even if we soften them up and. No. You can do anything you want, but my Eyelashes Stay wherever they are. Right where they are. Thats really you. Yeah, this is who i am. An extraordinary performance of extraordinary personality. Everything about them. fix, extraordinary personality. Everything about them. A lot of credit to a everything about them. A lot of credit to a lot everything about them. A lot of credit to a lot of everything about them. A lot of credit to a lot of makeup everything about them. A lot of credit to a lot of Makeup Artists stop light she spent several hours in makeup because theres a lot of prosthetics. They give her a long runway and its a big performance. The story is really fascinating, not least because if you do not know it already, the fact that she went from being someone of a televangelist you should come from the religious right that we know a lot more about the more recent years. But her embracing of people of hiv aids, becoming an icon is really not what you wouldve expected. I think her performance is great. I think of the rest of the movie is not as good as her performance. The story is really mind boggling and it felt to be televisual. Maybe there is it is based on a documentary and in a way, nothing can match up to the fact that fiction is a hard time keeping up that fiction is a hard time keeping up with fact. But as the televisual, kinda makes sense. I think the film was ok. Did you think . Kinda makes sense. I think the film was ok. Did you think . Think she was fantastic and was ok. Did you think . Think she was fantastic and i was ok. Did you think . Think she was fantastic and i spent, was ok. Did you think . Think she was fantastic and i spent, its fantastic and i spent, its interesting talking about documentaries, because of thinking this would make a fantastic documentary and then i discovered that there had been a documentary. And that is where your right to say it is televisual because i thought, is this just because im a journalist or did i think, i would like to see lots of archived footage and interviews with her kids and thats what i would really like to see now. It is a fascinating story, so the soldier attention. If see now. It is a fascinating story, so the soldier attention. So the soldier attention. If you dont know so the soldier attention. If you dont know the so the soldier attention. If you dont know the story so the soldier attention. If you dont know the story already, l so the soldier attention. If you | dont know the story already, it goesin dont know the story already, it goes in an arc which is so unpredictable. One of the things that she does is she gets yourself a seat at the table which is an all male table and she brings it to the table and he there is a woman who knows knows ron mind. It is interesting tensions going on that story and i thinker performance embodies it. Of the film Itselfjust Felt kind slightly flat in comparison to her central role. It comparison to her central role. It is an interesting story. Shes great. I can see you can wait until its on television. Its a film made for the big screen. I its on television. Its a film made for the big screen. For the big screen. I think the whole thing for the big screen. I think the whole thing about for the big screen. I think the i whole thing about televangelists for the big screen. I think the whole thing about televangelists and in being televisual, thats kind of the point. But her performance is great and it is a stranger than fiction story. So, jack has a after the first feature film. In two decades later, remnants with some new arrivals. The stunts revolve around bodily functions, especially downstairs. Underwater forts, Vultures Picking raw meat out of someones underpants. Johnny knoxville getting shot out of a cannon. A tribute to the flight of icarus. I actually rather enjoyed this. But that was quite sweet and i havent been a fan of this up until now. What a thing thats interesting is that the Film Industry is so much about objectifying women, is very interesting to see a film in which the male body is completely on display and utterly ridiculed and seen without any form of squeamishness and there is something ill be subversive about that. Also, there is a scene where we do have someone taking part in it getting stung on the lips by a scorpion as a Scorpion Botox thing is you would see as a comment as the ludicrousness of a society that embraces botox. No animals were harmed, the same cannot be said about the cast. And i thought it was kind of oddly sweet, which is not something i expected to say about this. I something i expected to say about this. ,. Something i expected to say about this. ,. , something i expected to say about this. ,. This. I did not expect you to see the word sweet this. I did not expect you to see the word sweet at this. I did not expect you to see the word sweet at all. This. I did not expect you to see| the word sweet at all. Moonfall. Roland emerick gave us so many forms. They are astronauts and space that are attacked by giant space blue and no one believes them. Ten years later, the moon is falling out of the sky in a Conspiracy Theory says that the moon is made of cheese or something along those lines moving them to do is go back into space of the Conspiracy Theorist is never been dismissed before the saviour of being destroyed by Roland Emerick movie. Heres a clip. You know, without electronics, were going to need to make split second calculations of there. Plus, we lost our flight engineer. No, no, no, no. Guys, im not cleared for this. Well, im the Acting Director of nasa so, ijust cleared you. Congrats. Yeah. Ive got ibs. Irritable bowel syndrome. I get Motion Sickness too. You said you always wanted to be an astronaut. I have debilitating anxiety. Kc, if the moon really is what you think it is, were going to need a mega structuralist. Suit up. Yes, ten had Conspiracy Theorists in space. This is and i say this. This is the stupidest film ive ever seen and i have seen a lot of films. Ok, gravity, little bit of gravity, a little bit of melancholia, a little bit of event horizon. The clear inspiration behind this is shark needle two. If someone gave the people behind that movie 20 million this said go knock yourself out. It doesntjustify this said go knock yourself out. It doesnt justify the laws this said go knock yourself out. It doesntjustify the laws of gravity, devised the laws of trauma and everything else. This script says alexa, write me a terrible movie script and all that needs to happen is a test of moonfall and the moon falls in it. I could feel my i0 reducing. By the end of it, i actually really enjoyed it because this is gotten so far beyond stupid, its like intergalactic really dumb and the best thing about it is its gotjokes and the best thing about it is its got jokes and and the best thing about it is its gotjokes and its other bits that are meant to be funny and bits that are meant to be funny and bits that arejust stupidly funny. Are meant to be funny and bits that are just stupidly funny. Its the kind of film or in the middle of the shoot out, a character turns to another catering goes, theyre another catering goes, they� re shooting another catering goes, theyre shooting at us. If you go, i know thats what the bending noises about. And then gravity gets inverted because the moon is near in the sea becomes the sky the helicopters underwater and i cant decide which movie i want to make, illjust make all of them, ill make all of the movies heres the thing, if you see it, see it on the biggest, stupidest, loudest, dumbest screen possible. It is not a film to be watched in miniature. It is simply swept over like a wave of idiocy simply swept over like a wave of idio ~. , simply swept over like a wave of idio . ,. , simply swept over like a wave of idio i~. ,. ,. , idiocy will not often speechless, but i am idiocy will not often speechless, but i am nova idiocy will not often speechless, but i am now.

People like it but it is still playing in cinemas and taking quite a good box office, its available on dvd and the people who love it, who really love it will just watch it over and over again. Great music and interesting animation i thought the story was a little muddled but this is a week in which moonfall happen. So it feels like a brilliantly put together work of logic.

It is felt much colder for most of the day despite the sunshine and wintry showers will continue as we go through this evening and overnight, particularly across scotland potentially a lower level sea. Underthe across scotland potentially a lower level sea. Under the clear skies, widespread frost will develop and that frost actively rain, sleet in the Morning Showers will have some mornings are particularly in the north but by morning will see the approach of the weather of whether federal shall initially give more snowfall but milder air coming in of the atlantic on a strengthening wind, deals in the north and ill push that cold air out of the way. Driest and brightest for southern and eastern areas until after dark year, brightening up with a few wintry showers with temperatures little higher but ill still feel colder with the rain that will be a future eventually blowing the removal away. The rain out of the way. Downing street insists that borisjohnson is still in control after criticism from some mp5 and a string of resignations of close aides. More pressure today, with another mp calling on him to go and the resignation of a fifth Downing Street adviser. A Cabinet Colleague came to his defence. I believe that the best thing for the country is for the Prime Minister to continue, he is doing a greatjob. Well bring you all the latest from westminster. Also on the programme. Music.
