it's time for another home show that's it we're calling them to figure something else out this is the 425th review show that we're doing from the home studio welcome my name is Rob I am the executive producer of the clubhouse podcast and I would like to hear the following but I'm not alone this particular review joining me across the desk as he tends to do is the official fact checker of this show and a man that enjoys French food but he doesn't enjoy French people you ain't always fun don go but it's not my name don't want to call them don't forget I like the escar got I like the Merlot and I do like some French people in French fries in French toast well French fries it's not a French thing it's named after a guy who's name was French toast French toast maybe I can add their confirm or deny but French fries are not from France okay could you know they weren't originally fried they weren't they weren't originally done in France wow they originally fried in Greece thank you thank you the Bob and Tom show for that whatever we do one of these it is to review something and this is no exception we're going to talk about Don celebrity christian is when Kira Knightley Dominic West it's called Collette for start this whole man yes sir we got thank Julie Josh and her best lie fox zine zine zine zine we love our vendors they let us watch movies early so we can talk to you guys about them and give you our honest opinion so you can spend your entertainment dollar wisely so this is based on a true story turn of the century from the 19th to the 20th century in France oh Kira Knightley plays Collette she is a kind of a country girl for France and she falls in love with and marries willy willy played by Dominic West you might remember him as mick nulty from the from the wire that one guy he's a bit of a socialite reviewer well author kind of sort of he he likes to run his empire I looked at winkipedia in it said he actually was a reviewer and a author but he also like to have people do that for him too yeah that's the crux of this thing so he decides he wants to write a novel and by writing I mean have other people write it and he's got a couple of guys on a staff but they're just not quite getting the job done so Collette's been writing letters for him for some time and he decides to let her write her story right about your experiences yeah she's got to wait with words so she does and you know as things go because why it wouldn't be a an interesting story otherwise yeah she writes a novel about a character named Claudine they publish the novel and it goes crazy talk of the town absolutely a book publishers dream at the time so that of course spins into a bigger web but also starts to put a strain on their marriage because he's very domineering and he's also got a bit of a wandering eye amongst other things which then opens her up to a whole new world and we have it everything go from there this was co-written and directed by a wash west morland uh-huh this runs just under two hours long you look at his resume of some of the stuff he directed he has a lot of those films with some of the sexual references into windows sexual well he's also no stranger to awards because he directed still Alice which was up for some some academy awards years ago but so because he I know what's coming because as you know of if you're joining us for the first time you can actually find written reviews of the stuff that we do on audio at our website www.theclubhousepodcast.com that's our website so when the written reviews come in I edit them because reasons my English skills are the best but still you need some fine tuning oh apparently I had a nice update to something that I could realize so I know what's coming because I've read your review and we've said your Kira Knightley is your Britney Palmer uh-huh and would would a Kira Knightley calendar exist you would own it on the level that I own Britney Palmer counters they just don't which I don't understand and to let you know that the fantastic fake fourth is aware yeah no I wouldn't be talking about it if we weren't because you told me specifically that you had told her about this so my thought process was I'm gonna be interested to see what Don thinks of this and then you email me your review today and I'm just gonna let you take it from here well first off you should have seen it coming because at the film last time last night let me ask you watch gauge 20 minutes ish oh 20 25 how many times did not but it was but I looked at my watch though it was exactly where I thought we were now here's my question to you uh-huh in all we've seen hundreds of films together we have literally literally how many times have I looked at you and pointed at your watch and said what time is it that I could probably I can't say it's never happened but I can count the number of times on one hand with fingers left over yeah when you reached over to me and you were like hey what time is it I was like well my first thought was oh wait a minute Don doesn't wear a watch and then I went oh oh because if Don's asking me where we're at that can't be good and if you watched me fidget my legs are in the last half hour hi oh I'm gonna bear I'm not gonna bear you later I'm not gonna do it two hours of uh down about it for you yeah remember how you had your little meltdown with the stars born of two hours of 15 now two hours of 15 minutes of nothing of your life of my life that I'm never going to get back yes that's the story you told us she could put in two senses he rewrites and novels they get famous it's about her life he goes a little haywire uh and attention thing there were so many if you go to high written review at www that's called us podcast.com wasn't prepared for that that was on the wrong page hold on that is our website I put on there then there were so many scenes in this film that were not needed I'm going why did they put that in there why did they put that in there it's a two hour film or honestly I think an hour could have been cut out of the thing they had a you're telling let's see you're telling my life story okay in seventh grade one night I had stew for dinner and then I went for a walk and then I went skiing the next day and then I will agree with you I will tell you there's one specific scene that I didn't understand its existence and I will simply say this yeah I was like okay and I'm looking back after seeing this and I looked at director and he had a lot like I said earlier a lot he wasn't there you look at him directly you were looking at his career yeah I said there are a lot of sexual endal films that he's done and this is part for the course for him because there is a lot of sexual situations fine and she was a risque woman at the time and some of the stuff is true and like I said if people that don't know the story I don't want to give it away but there is a journey of self-discovery in this that examines things that were very taboo back then yes experimentation is the best way that's good but that's good but this film I was just and I love my care nightly yes you do yes you do as much as a fantastic pay for not as much but I not even she could save this film I was just for the last half hour is it over yet is it over yet because I only walked out of one film which made my top ear because of the platoon thing in a dodgy over strings I have enough I've been sat through Terrence Malik you did more than once and I had more than one of his films yeah and I had to sit through this one here too and I was just saying just get over there's just the plot is too simplistic of like what you were saying with the stars born he's a drug you we get a boom two hours of building a relationship he had this is the same thing they get married they write some books he gets a little jealous he's full with the money and they put this film into a short period of her life there was a lot of her life that they don't never went into after she has a later career is the best way to put it I would say this is their beginning career she has a latter career and if you look in Wikipedia right and so they mentioned a little bit before the credits and that was a real fast thing they just wanted I think to make a thing of the sexual into windows with the thing of the he's it's kind of like the blue one the big guys remember the big guys with crypto bots wants somebody else doing the credit right but it's with books but it's based off some true events you're not the first person that's mentioned that to me yeah I just did not get this so did you feel like this I did not dislike it as much as you did I thought now maybe I've been thinking about this lot today because we saw this the night before we recorded this would I have disliked it more if I hadn't seen a star is born first probably yeah yeah but my bar was set so low after that direct that I can't say that I thoroughly enjoyed this film I think it's a solid script that I believe that in more than one point almost collapses under its own weight I will agree if you there yeah but I thought that their chemistry was really really good and I've been I mean I can't look at Dominic West and I go it's a minority but I really enjoyed both of these performances I thought they were both right now would I put them on a podium come February probably not but I wouldn't be surprised if if there were some conversation now I will tell you in my written review currently located at www.theclubhousepodcast.com that's our website there is one aspect of this film that I wouldn't be surprised if there's some chatter and that would be the cinematography possibly this movie is shot beautifully and it is trying to show fray and I read that they filmed a lot of us in Budapest some of the countryside England supposedly and it showed and it barbed the thing I put it would I love the scenery I love the nature it's show France well and that was beautiful yeah and possibly costume design because it's just one of those films I could see that there um but in this might be one of those Oscar darling things because it's one of those foo foo films could I see her well we're in q4 so this is the way something and is this going to be like for instance here nightly she didn't stuff like pride beyond the pirates and stuff like that she didn't stuff like pride and prejudice this is a paralle this is something friend of the show Cynthia Jordan who was sitting next to me at the screening she looked at me at one point she goes outside of bend it like Beckham can she not do period pieces like you know that's a fair point well was that one where she's the singer and stuff like that uh god with oh yeah I forgot about that yes yeah so I forgot but I have to by the same guy that did once yeah roofalow way to have mark before yeah so great mark rough a lot so I mean James Corden was in that yeah that was before anybody really knew who he was but it's just I was just in the last 10 the first 15 20 minutes I was kind of into it had a good story I knew it was slow moving that's mine but it just goes to a snail's pace and I was beginning again was the name yeah it's just I'm done I'm done I just I just just get this over with please yeah I just I mean I can't say that like this movie knocked me out but I just didn't I didn't have the venom for it that you tend to I I enjoyed it it's a decent film I again not the best film I've seen this year not gonna make my top 10 but I thought they were really good in it I thought the story was told well but I agree with you it drags in certain points there definitely could have been some some some tightening up of this thing done I thought they could have cut it now there were certain things that I think they breeze through a little fast while other things they dragged more than they should have time but I don't know I I thought it was a decent flick but you and you and I are definitely gonna disagree on this and I think maybe they should have done more of her life instead of trying to stick in this area in the marriage in the I'd like to say the sexual prowess part because she had a lot in her life after this and I think they could have done a more period story of her life and that would have done the film a lot a lot a lot better than this thing if they would have done her life story instead just this thing and with this director I think that's just anything else you want to go through before we hit the file analysis I think I got it out of me all right the way we do the final analysis on the show we're not gonna give you thumbs up thumbs down we're not gonna give you letters numbers books anything like that I'm gonna ask Don and myself up to two questions question number one is would we see this film again if the answers know them were done here but if the answers yes then the second follow up question is how far would we be willing to go do so from the best of the best of the worst the best here's your spectrum full price of the theater down to a twilight down to a matinee down to early morning on a weekend from there we go to the second one at the dollar theater from there we go to actually leaving your house to get it from red box down to streaming on Netflix down to cable Don let's start with you would you see Collette again now to make the point that I could be fair with my dear nightly and be objective even though she can save this no and I'm making a promise the maze render promise because I only done this this can be the third time uh-huh and this turns mal comes out with 10 films this year this film will make my top 10 worst of the year well find out the end of the year I actually I can't say I wouldn't see this film again but I will say that I would wait I mean this would be something that if it came on cable and there was nothing else going on and I didn't feel like grabbing the wrong spectrum yeah I mean it's you know I would I would throw it up there and say oh that's what going on here but you know it is what it is but what it is is wash Westmoreland directing Collette all right for you this madness again we got Julie Josh here but it's slifox we love our vendors they let us watch movies early so we can talk to you guys about them to help you spend your that's right and that's why we love our vendors they ask us what we
