That this is the first chance to begin opening up the economy. A lot of pressure asjo is just mention from tory mp to do Something Like this. Again there is a danger to Public Health from doing and one hopes that everyone will actually shop responsibly and stick with social distancing. But again for borisjohnson i social distancing. But again for Boris Johnson i mean social distancing. But again for borisjohnson i mean it is the high wire act and we know very well that from a previous very famous picture of being stranded on a high wire he may not be terribly good at it. Thanks tojo and nigel. Hgppy happy shopping to both of you. Coming up next, its the film review. Hello, and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best movies available for viewing in the home. Comedian Pete Davidson plays it close to home in the king of Staten Island, a bittersweet comedy drama which he co wrote with directorjudd apatow, best known for films like the 40 year 0ld virgin and knocked up. What is that date . Oh, thats the date my dad died. Oh, my god, your dad died . Im so sorry. Dont be, its fine. Its totally cool. So, what happened . Ok, you dont need to ask that. Its kind of inappropriate. He was a fireman. So, he died in a fire. Oh, my god yeah, we knew, we dont like to talk about it. Thats why we dont bring it up. Davidson plays scott carlin, a 20 something wastrel who still lives with his widowed mother and spends his days smoking weed and dreaming of opening a tattoo restaurant, a fusion which everyone tells him is a very bad idea. I am being real. Its a great. Its never been done before i looked it up. While his younger sister heads to college, scott lounges around at home until mum, winningly played by marisa tomei, starts dating a firefighter. I mean, are you flirting with me . Yeah. Yeah . Yeah, a lot. This pushes scotts buttons because his beloved father was himself a fireman saving the lives of others, but losing his own life in the process, leaving his son bewildered and becalmed. Can scott make peace with his past and allow his mother to build a new future, or will he simply spiral into self destruction . Having lost his own father, a new york city fireman, in 9 11, davidson brings a poignantly autobiographical edge to the king of Staten Island, nowhere more so than in a central scene where scott delivers an angrily impassioned rant about the pain of loved ones left behind when First Responders make the ultimate sacrifice. Its a scene of remarkable honesty and candour outrageous, perhaps, but also inflected with the unmistakable spark of personal truth. Why do we have to clean this thing anyway . Itsjust going to get fire on it. Elsewhere, its much more business as usual, with apatow bringing his familiar loose limbed approach to the proceedings, allowing the drama to ramble and shamble its way between the touching, the amusing and the occasionally indulgent. No, no, no, this is my favourite. Oh, you killed that. Yeah, i really worked hard on the eyes. There are engaging supporting performances, most notably from Steve Buscemi as the firehouse stalwart who teaches scott some home truths, and davidson retains the damaged anarchic charm which has served him so well on saturday night live. When am i going to get my break . Like. At two and a quarter hours, the king of Staten Island is half an hour longer than it needs to be, but it still manages to touch a nerve. Its available on digital platforms now. Black gi, is it fair to serve more than the white americans that sent you here . Nothing is more confused than to be ordered into a war to die without the faintest idea of whats going on. The time has come today. Last year, spike lee won his first competitive oscar as co writer of blachkla nsman, the stranger than fiction tale of an African American american cop infiltrating the ku klux klan in the early 705. Get in here for his new movie da 5 bloods, which boasts an all star cast including delroy lindo, Clarke Peters and chadwick boseman, lee follows four ageing vietnam vets who return to the country in which they fought the american war. He hit me upside the head, sk bop just like in 68. Yeah, brother man. Were back. Nominally, theyve come to recover the remains of a fallen comrade lost in battle. But theyre also on the trail of gold, a stash of which they buried here all those years ago and now hope to retrieve. As always, lee strikes a prescient political note, opening with news footage of muhammad ali and malcolm x and tracing a Hidden History of oppression from slavery to soldiery and onto the current unrest, reminding us that the divide and rule politics of the past are still in play today. Bloods this is all vintage lee. Whats less assured is the way the da 5 bloods mutates into a three kings style adventure which finds our ageing anti heroes getting chased, shot at and blown up in the jungles of modern day vietnam, selling their souls for gold like the fortune seekers in treasure of the sierra madre. Such tonal shifts are, of course, nothing new to lee. His most provocative works have combined tragedy and comedy, history and fiction, alienation and immersion to powerful effect. But while the changing moods of blachkla nsman seemed bold and audacious, theres something rather more mechanical about the warring elements of da 5 bloods, which appear bolted together rather than alchemically bonded. Isee. Ghosts. Compare this to the hughes brothers still under appreciated 1995 masterpiece dead president s, which for my money painted a more vivid picture of the toxic legacy of vietnam while shifting effortlessly from coming of age story to war is hell drama to heist thriller before climaxing in a cry of raw political outrage that seems even more relevant today. Whats going on. On the plus side, the ensemble cast are terrific, and lees ear for music remains as sharp as ever, with terence blanchards rich score interspersed with bursts of marvin gayes whats going on, sometimes erupting as a group sing along, elsewhere surfacing as a plaintive solo voice. Da 5 bloods is on netflix now. Music. If youre looking for something more family friendly, then disneys artemis fowl aims to fill a harry potter sized hole in the movie market. You never told me how to start. Sir kenneth branagh, who played Gilderoy Lockhart in chamber of secrets, directs this adaptation of eoin colfers source, which the author memorably described as die hard with fairies, although personally i prefer the phrase wizard impossible. This isnt about the father. This is about the son artemis fowl. Ferdia shaw, grandson of robert, is the 12 year old mastermind who must search for his missing father, played by colin farrell, in a world where magical creatures are real and deployed with military precision. Taking inspiration from the roller coaster rides of old saturday morning serials, branagh keeps things moving along briskly, slipping nimbly between worlds real and imagined via a series of hidden layers, jet powered portals, high tech flying machines and action packed punch ups. The result feels like an unlikely mash up of bond and the book of kells, a marriage that isnt always successful despite the enjoyable efforts of Damejudi Dench and josh gad. For all its pyrotechnical pizzazz, theres little here that achieves the classic status of the numerous texts towards which artemis fowl doffs its derivative cap. Best to take it as a bit of fluffy fun, an escapist distraction in difficult times, made all the more palatable by its trim 95 minute running time. Welcome, madame curie. I do not know why im here. Youre here cos the panel would like to consider you for professor curies position at the university. You wish to give me pierres seat . We dont want to give you anything. Altogether more serious, although no less odd, is radioactive, which was due to open in uk cinemas in marchjust as lockdown began and now comes to video on demand from monday. Adapted by persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi from the graphic novel by lauren redniss, subtitled a tale of love and fallout, radioactive tells the story of marie curie, played with fearsome conviction by rosamund pike. Did you get all the acclamation you felt you deserved . In pikes hands, the french polish scientist, who became the first woman to win a nobel prize and the first person to win it twice, is a force of nature, a brilliant thinker battling with a chauvinist establishment that considers her as unstable as the elements to which she dedicated her life. Will you please give me my x ray machines and ambulances . Sam riley is pierre curie, the partner in whose shadow marie is initially forced to dwell, but upon whose love she depends. Written by jack thorne and shot by anthony dod mantle, this is a deliberately unruly picture which abandons the classical biographical storytelling of 1943s madame curie starring greer garson, and instead embarks upon a more anarchic vision in which past and present, triumph and guilt, advantage and harm collide. With her own background in graphic novels, satrapi displays an inventive eye for detail, lending a surreal air to scenes bathed in the eerie glow of discovery. Hallucinatory images fill the screen as the film strives to take us inside curies mind, an experiment thats only partly successful. The result is very strange indeed, impressively inventive, occasionally ridiculous, but always anchored by pikes central performance. And the worst picture of the decade is showgirls i want to watch this thing over and overand overagain. I think were still talking about showgirls because were not done with it. Ill leave you with news of a new documentary that aims to do for showgirls what tim burtons ed wood did for plan 9 from outer space, the punningly entitled you dont nomi. Get it . A role like nomi, it felt like a james dean role or a young Robert De Niro role, its a huge role. If it was done in a real movie, that wouldve been a star making role. A notorious flop when it first opened in 1995, showgirls, from basic instinct writer and director Joe Eszterhas and paul verhoeven, has since been reclaimed by cult film fans who see it as part of a grand trash tradition of valley of the dolls and mommie dearest. Jeffrey mchales documentary uses clips and talking head voiceovers to track the films path from catastrophe to camp classic, arguing that in its barrel scraping awfulness, showgirls actually achieves a bizarre kind of greatness. Whatever you think of showgirls and believe me, im no fan theres realfun to be had in tracing its twisted legacy, which, like tinto brasss equally notorious caligula, continues to amaze and appal in equal measure. I used to love doggy chow. I used to love doggy chow, too thats it for this week. Thanks for watching the film review, stay safe and ill be back next week with more home viewing treats. I need somebody to tattoo. Im running out of. Come on, rich, what about you, man . Dont even look at me, dude. Why . Your work is mad inconsistent. Obama aint right hello there.
