00:00Join us as we waddle through this week's releases in our Movie Watch Roundup.
00:04First up, and is Jim Carrey p-p-p-p-picking up the wrong scripts
00:08with his latest bird-brained comedy, Mr. Popper's Penguins?
00:12So is this any good, then?
00:14Yeah, absolutely. It's gonna be fun!
00:16The film sees high-flying exec Jim Carrey just one step away from being a partner
00:21when he's left a mysterious package.
00:24Thomas, your father left you something.
00:28I'll call you back.
00:29Despite turning his life upside down, the flightless birds bring Jim and his family closer together
00:33in this fun, if mindless, family film.
00:37So we're giving this a p-p-p-predictable three stars.
00:41Shuffleball step. Shuffleball lunge.
00:44Stepball change. Stepball change. Stepball change.
00:48Word.
00:51When you've got aliens and kids on bikes, there's only one man for the job, right?
00:56Steven Spielberg's latest project, Super 8, which is helmed by Star Trek's J.J. Abrams,
01:02sees a bunch of young whippersnappers hoping to become, well, the next Steven Spielberg.
01:07Action!
01:11Guys, watch out!
01:13Wow, these boys are seriously talented. Oh, wait, it's really happening.
01:19An eastbound freighter derailed what the cargo was on that freighter, we don't know.
01:24You may not, but knowing the bearded wonder, we'd wager it's aliens, correct?
01:28I can assure you the answer is no.
01:30Whatever, Action Man.
01:31Well-scripted, action-packed, and with some superb performances from Elle Fanning and Joel Courtney,
01:37we're giving this an out-of-this-world four stars.
01:40What the hell?
01:42Taking the tempo down a little is Sarah's Key, which looks into one of France's darkest moments.
01:47On the 16th and 17th of July 42, they arrested 13,000 Jews.
01:54Put them in the belladrome you bear, in inhuman conditions.
01:59No beds, no toilets, barely any water, and not one image exists.
02:06Weird, I mean, they documented everything, the Nazis, that's what they were known for.
02:12Mike, this was not the Germans, it was the French.
02:15With two separate storylines woven together, one set during the Holocaust and the other in contemporary France,
02:21Sarah's Key is a fascinating, if heart-rending, story.
02:25Kristen Scott Thomas is excellent, as always, but it is youngster Melusine Meyers who really steals her show,
02:31so we're giving this an intense four stars.
02:34And for those too lazy to get up, why not try the drug NZT?
02:39It's worked for Bradley Cooper in Limitless.
02:41One day he's looking like a hobo, suddenly a dodgy pill a day, and you are, well, limitless.
02:46Original and thoroughly gripping, we're giving this thriller a mind-altering four stars.
02:51Have you asked yourself what you're going to do when you run out?
02:54You'll die.
