important] phillips, nigel nelson, we have to end it. go and get yourl we have to end it. go and get your beauty sleep, i certainly needed, thank you very much. go and get yours as well, have a lovely night, goodbye. hello, a warm welcome to the film review. mark kermode is back with me. and what have you been watching, mark? well, we have a very mixed bag this week. we have venom: let there be carnage, tom hardy and his alien symbiote. we have the sci—fi animation ron's gone wrong, and the michael myers saga continues in halloween kills. do i even know what a symbiote is? you'll find out. so, this is the sequel to 2018's venom, which you didn't see? i did not see. 0k. i have to tell you. 50, tom hardy is eddie, who is the host of a kind of alien parasite that lives within him but also comes out of him. so it's like two people inside. have you ever seen the steve martin all of me, with lily tomlin, two people in the same body? it's like that, but with monsters. and in this film, woody harrelson is cletus, who is a prisoner, who — due to some complex plot shenanigans — will also end up hosting his very own a symbiote. here is a clip. 0k. anything you want to unburden yourself with before... ..this happens? yes. and i have wishes i to bestow upon you. i want to wish you this heartbreak. venom: uh-oh, too late. i wish for you to see| out your days alone, as you always have been. watch it, pal! where are you going with this? you are a cancer to everyone who ever loved you, eddie. i deceived your trusting fiance, - no wonder daddy could never look at you again after you killed his wife, your mother, _ just by being born! 0k. so, you see what i mean about it's like all of me, there are two people inside the same body, in fact, there will end up being four people inside two different bodies. so, the first venom, i thought it was a bit of a slog. never really worked for me. this is much more fun. the script is by kelly marcel, and the story is by her and tom hardy. and it's directed by andy serkis. now, if you are going to make a film which involves a lot of special effects, a lot of acting, and a lot of motion capturing, which are kind of mixing those two things together, get somebody like andy serkis — who understands the special—effects side, also understands the acting side, understands how to put all this stuff together. yeah, he is such an interesting man, isn't he? he really is. he is a really kind of polymath. and the best thing about this was it's really funny. i mean, i've seen comedies in which i have laughed much less than i did in venom, you know, it's passes the six laugh test within the first 20 minutes. it's got, sort of, rip—roaring ridiculous action sequences. it's got great big monstrous apartitions and the usual kind of, you know, fighty, crashy, bangy stuff, but it is smart and it's sharp, and believe me, nobody had lower expectations than i did, because i really didn't enjoy the first venom very much at all. and i saw this this morning and i just sat there, it's 90 odd minutes long, you know, gets in, does the stuff, gets out. i thought it was really good fun, and i was really delighted that venom: let there be carnage is really entertaining. roller—coaster popcorn fair. ok, good stuff, good stuff. ron's gone wrong. that's actually quite hard to say. it is, isn't it? and every time i say it, i get it wrong, so ron's gone wrong it is an animated fantasy. in the future, kids have these things called b—bots, which are your best friend in a box. it's like a kind of big weeble that does all the things that mobile phones do but also it's your best friend. barney is socially awkward, he wants a b—bot, his parents won't get him one, finally they end up getting him a damaged b—bot so that he can fit in with all the other friends. the thing is that b—bot can't connect to the mainframe to bubble, so therefore, it doesn't have the friendship programme. it also doesn't have any of the protocols that keep it safe, so it behaves terribly. he's going to take it back, but then he realises that, actually, a robot that thinks for itself and has to learn about friendship is actually probably a better thing than a kind of, you know, the clockwork orangey, "oh, yes, all these things, they just do what they're told." i thought it was really good fun. it's an entertaining, you know, family film in as much as there's lots of fun stuff to watch, but there's also a lot of great satirical stuff about big tech companies, and harvesting your data and the fact that they are completely unscrupulous, in some cases. that is one argument. yes, other arguments are available. you've got to have something for the adults as well as the children. but the nice thing about this was it didn'tjust feel like what you were getting was gags for the kids and then gags for the adults, it felt to me like it kind of worked across the board, and again, i knew nothing about it before i went in, other than the fact that it has a very unpronounceable name, ron's gone wrong, and i really enjoyed it, much more so, again, than i thought i was going to. yeah. well, good. always a good recommendation. yeah. why do i feel film three is perhaps not quite going to be my cup of tea? you can fill me in. well, look, i'm a horrorfilm fan, ok? so when in 2018 david gordon green breathed new life into the halloween franchise, i thought, hooray, you know, wow, they've done something interesting. turns out that that 2018 halloween was the first of a trilogy, halloween kills is the next one. there's going to be another one called halloween ends. this picks up where the last one ended, and you know what, michael myers is still running around. here's a clip. hey! what are you guys doing out here? it's halloween, we went - trick—or—treating, and we got a whole bag of candy. you guys shouldn't be out here right now, ok? it's not safe. are you going to kill me? satan, not today. ooh, i'm so scared. are you guys alone? where are your parents?! no. no, we're waiting for our friend. and, like, there's a creepy man in a white mask, and he keeps, like, trying to play hide and seek with us and he... he whispers. where did you see him? he'sjust hiding behind trees. and he pops out like "peekaboo!" i mean, we're not three years old. come on, man! oh, look, there he is. oh, hello! hello! they laugh. what the hell are you doing? so, the main problem with this is, itjust gets you right back to, you know, the return of michael myers or the revenge of michael myers, whatever part four, part five, it was like, "oh, fine, we arejust back to that stuff again." there is a sort of idea at the centre of this, which is there is a long speech about how, "hey, the real terror of michael myers is that he instils fear in us and therefore we all become monsters because fear makes us monsters." well, here is the good news, there is nothing frightening about halloween kills. it's not going to turn anyone into a monster. it is absolutely dull as dishwater. and i, you know, nobody likes a good horrorfilm more than me. it was just like, this wasn't it. and it's a real shame, because as i said, that 2018 reboot, i thought, "0k, they've done something new," but it's like, "oh, no, as you were." it is not doing what it said on the tin. not doing what it said on the tin at all. well, gosh, i look forward to the third one. yeah. it's halloween ends, hopefully. 50, best out after all of that, your thoughts? well, istill think that the bond movie... i know that some people like it, some people don't, i think that it's... i think there is some fairly remarkable things about it. i know you saw it. i think you are slightly more luke warm than i am. there are things i liked about it, and as i always say, i did love the fact that there were a few flashes of humour, i loved that. we all missed judy dench, but, you know, that's not a plot spoiler. i think we're all going to miss daniel craig. i think he was a really interesting bond, and i think, you know, daniel craig's cycle was a kind of self—contained cycle, i think, i don't know, yes, there are flaws. yes, it's not perfect. but it's so much better than we have the right to expect, because after all the wait, it was like, it almost felt like it could only disappointment, and i'm happy to say that i wasn't disappointed. yes, and i was really struck by the number of people who say to me, "oh, the villain was no good. "he was just whatever," there's rami malek there, you know, "he just wasn't scary enough, his part wasn't good enough." and i'm not sure i particularly felt that at the time, but maybe if you are a real aficionado, that is a really important part of it. my feeling is that the idea that a bond movie is only as good as it's villain isn't true because i think in this case, this is a bond movie that is actually about bond and is not about the villain. and that's maybe why i really enjoyed it as well. yeah, i liked it. and finally, quickly, do you think they've already decided who the next bond is? no, i don't. and i don't, i've got absolutely no idea, and hey, i mean, who knows? i'm excited to see, but can we say that in terms of best now on streaming, lashana lynch, who is in no time to die. yes. is in earfor eye. this is the latest film from debbie tucker green, you know, very, very lauded play write, who made a brilliant film called second coming. her new film, which is based on a stage production, but it is very much a film in its own right, it plays at the lff saturday night, it also simultaneously on bbc2 and on iplayer. so it will be in some cinemas in some regions, but you can see it at home and on iplayer. and i recommend everybody to do it do it because it is a really interesting piece. it's got theatre, dance, film, archive, it's like a conversation between the past and present, violence, nonviolence. it's a discussion of the legacy of slavery and racism, and it's energetic, and it's powerful, and what i know about theatre wouldn't fit on the back of a postage stamp, but this works as a film, and if you get a chance to see it in cinema, great, but seeing it at home on the television, as i said on the bbc, it's perfectly fine. it is a great piece. i think debbie tucker green is such a fantastic talent, and it's great to see her making another film. it is, really. and i have seen a lot of her plays, and it's really exciting to hear that this is a film in its own right. oh, yes. i think that's fantastic. she is a film—maker. this is a properfilm. it has a proper film sensibility. it's notjust a play on the screen, it is its own thing. yeah, and a crack cast too. fantastic cast. yeah, absolutely. yeah. excellent. well, that's good to know. that's coming up this weekend, that's the weekend sorted. thank you very much, mark. we will see you next week. enjoy your cinema going or iplayer viewing, whatever you are up to this weekend. see you next time. bye—bye. we had an early patch of rain working across eastern areas of england. northern scotland was one of the sunniest places in northern scotland today and later we saw this crowd break. a lot of cloud throughout the day northern ireland where over recent hours we have seen rain arrive and that rain is now making inroads across scotland and it will continue to push southwards and eastwards over the next few hours, the rain turning heavier and more persistent across northern england and northern wales for a time. he might squeeze out an odd patch of rain, light rain across southern england but otherwise staying largely dry in the south—east. temperature is overnight, mild, 11 to 13, but cooler clinging on across parts of scotland where it should be fine start to orkney and shetland with some sunny spells, may be the isolated shower. the rain turns lighter and patch your through the day, perhaps a mistiness over the tops of the hills but it will stay damp for some tops of the hills but it will stay dampforsome in tops of the hills but it will stay damp for some in scotland and northern england, even into the afternoon, and we will start to see sunny spells breaking through across parts of the south of england, southern wales in the south midlands, perhaps because of east anglia and that could as temperatures as high as 19 degrees. next week, strengthening south—westerly winds are on the way south—westerly winds are on the way so monday will be a windier kind of day, though south—westerly winds bringing layers of cloud and pulses of rain, mostly affecting the west and perhaps the south. the best of any bright or dry weather across eastern areas but they will be high cloud so any cleanses of sunshine will be a hazy side, mild conditions continue, temperatures were most between 1a and 18 celsius. enter to stay, this very long slow moving weather front will bring a hosepipe of moisture hitting some of our western hills i could bring some very significant rainfall totals, perhaps enough to cause localised surface water flooding. with perhaps enough to cause localised surface waterflooding. with breaks in the cloud, it could become even milder, temperatures might reach 20 or 21 celsius across parts of east anglia and south—east england but 17 in glasgow is very, very mild as well. that mild weather does set to continue into the middle part of the week, it eventually turns cooler towards the end of the week. that is your lettuce. ? that is your latest. this is bbc news. i'm philippa thomas with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. a man suspected of killing a british mp has been named as ali harbi ali — it's understood he'd previously been referred to a counter—extremism programme. the prime minister and leader of the opposition paid their respects at the scene of the attack — as a review begins into the threats faced by politicians. we live in an open society, a democracy. we cannot be cowed by any individual, or any motivation, people with motives, to stop us from functioning. russia records more than one thousand deaths from coronavirus in a single day — for the first time since the start of the pandemic. the united nations withdraws a job offer
