" Time now to take our weekly look at what's new in the movie theaters there's one very big one that's getting a lot of attention joining us this morning is -- NEC and film critic let's emphasize that my good morning good morning I the first we're gonna talk about is this is at the Michael Jackson I have twenty million dollars in its first day amazing are realistic look at a little bit of this. Outpacing got a good look there while he's getting an army and I guess -- wouldn't you like that."
" It's really him and I'm no Michael Jackson and never was always admired him -- on any of his records I went to this not knowing what to expect -- it was going to be a slap together thing after his death. But now it turns out this was planned well ahead by Michael Jackson who financed it to have a record. All of this page showed it was going to be happening in London -- film could come in and they don't all the rehearsals. This is the rehearsals from march to last last march last June. Possibly we -- rehearsed for a long time they were from them for a long time unfortunately the film crew kind of what we see here is stuff. That was done well after the rehearsal process was on the -- as fifteen big numbers here you see some good lighting and camera angles all over the place. You're seeing a great great show on this massive stage they've built and in just a little bit of it over there. A lot of -- in the back from those that big crowd of people is actually only eleven people. But they just kept on duplicating and duplicating the big big effects. -- we get a great look at not just a personal process but also that Michael Jackson and his creative process and we've never had this inside before. He is you know we think we see him have to -- funeral media coverage we saw him as this meek mild shy guy. No when he stepped on stage to put this show together with his director he was in charge of every phase of this production. And -- him seeing a little bit there but that his performance in this film is outspending his voice -- strong as dance moves agree totally in charge. Com and there's a lot of energy being really really good album don't you think this is seeing how everybody does it just yet. You know you -- huge and you like Michael Jackson but not a big fan you still like that that gets good things good that he had hit song in there along with some new songs and you know. There's no chance to be site that is going to be sad watching it it's too excited. Yeah that sounds good right."
" The one is very controversial gonna take a look at a little bit of that which would we can show. It's offensive sensibilities it's called anti Christ it is not I -- the title doesn't have much to do with really the subject matter of the movie."
" Not that I can figure. Snow always switch to part of this this is the new film -- large -- the -- we known for breaking the waves. We're on the phone Charlotte Gainsbourg play a couple who'd lose a young child -- an accident. And she cannot come to grips with this at all if you could just -- isn't it horrible state of grief. He plays a therapist who decides -- and ethically to. Make her his patient and he's going to cure this is just you don't do that don't take your own wife for your patience. Big mistake problem they decide to go talk to this happened that they own isolated cabin in the woods and everything will be fine don't know who were themselves. Well it turns into a psychological horror film you think for awhile and it's going to be a psychological horror film about isolated cabin in the woods you know with kids running around stabbing each -- nothing like that at all. What this is about is. I am I guess I'm deciding if -- marriage falling apart. It's Friday which have very very big way to study of who is capable of more evil man or woman it is in English it's a -- traditional but it is an English. Now the thing that people should know there are some gruesome images in this film some violence that you really don't wanna see. But I couldn't take my from the gulf are also some very erotic images that some people may be embarrassed by watching I don't know -- some psychobabble but there's some really brave and -- performances by these two people being the only two people in the film I think it's. It unnerving an intimate and I think at some sort of a masterpiece but it can't put my finger on yet -- have people either love it or totally don't like it at all I understand is valid enough that some people have said it should get an NC seventeen rating I would. If I think of generating message that would be fair here it started okay well two interesting movies in thanks for being here -- always are welcome."
