he's playing a seismologist teacher, who is out there because he is interested in the fact that there were lots of earthquakes although there were no fault lines. mckenna grace and finn wolfhard are the kids, who uncover a bunch of ghostbusting equipment which they fire up. here is a clip. fire it up. i've always wanted to do this. yes! uh...we should probably get out of here. you're an adult. yeah, and liable. you know what this means, right? your grandfather was a ghostbuster. i'm quite glad that wait was worth it. was it — was it? was to me. two questions. you saw the original ghostbusters. did you love it? idid. have you seen it recently? no. it's not as good as you remember. jason reitman says this is a family affair, a story about family. he also said this is a film that gives ghostbusters back to the fans, which seems to be suggesting that after the 2016 female—led ghostbusters, which many of the fans were up in arms about — how dare they they have taken the thing i love and changed it in a way, to now we get this. this is basically a bit stranger things. for most of the movie the first half of it, nothing happens. the second half of the film everything happens, and everything that happens is "remember that bit from ghostbusters that you liked? here it is. remember that other bit from ghostbusters that you liked? well, here it is again. you remember that sort of riffy thing that you liked? here it is, but slightly different." my problem is this. firstly, at least the 2016 ghostbusters, i think, tried to do something new. some people did not like it, i actually thought it was fine, but at least it attempted to do something new. what this does is go, we all love ghostbusters. ghostbusters is to be revered. fine, it had its moments. but watching a movie thatjust plods through all the old tropes but this time we've got a connection to stranger things and this time it's a new generation, and this time it's about family. is it, or is it really that ghostbusters has run its course? and it's probably time to just go, ok, i think we've had enough of this now. the thing that troubles me about this is it's so ordinary. and you think of it as a big franchise with huge built—in audience, and what do you do with it? you just go, there. as i said, it's for the fans. well, the fans kind of deserve it in that case. ok, let's leave that and talk about petite maman. this is a new film from celine sciamma. she made girlhood and recently portrait of a lady on fire. i think it's already one of my favourite films of the year. if not, it is in my top three at the end of the year. a young girl, nelly, has lost her grandmother. and she goes with her mother to her grandmother's house to clean it out, the mother can't deal with the grief. nelly goes out into the woods and finds a hut her mother made and finds another young girl who shares the name of her mother, and seems to share many of the experiences that she knows her mother had. so on the one hand it's a fairy tale. on the other hand it's a ghost story. maybe a time travelling story. maybe it's back to the future without the delorean. it's beautiful — it's so natural and so well observed. it's about bridging the intergenerational gap, about parents and children and grandmothers and that. and it's really profound. but it's a u—certificate film. anyone can see this film. it's 72 minutes long. it is as close to a perfect film as i can remember seeing. it is absolutelyjust drop—dead astonishing, and i would encourage everyone to go and see it. if you say it's a children's film, that kind of does it an injustice. it is a children's film for children of all ages. parents will see one thing in it, children will see another thing. it is yet further evidence that celine sciamma really is amazing. just does not put a foot wrong. king richard is starring will smith, and this is all about richard williams, who is the father of venus and serena williams, who has been portrayed in the media as on one hand charismatic, inspirational, extraordinaryjob as a trainer, and on the other hand overbearing, self—serving. what the film does is as played by will smith — generally likeable, irascible, and certainly difficult to get on with, but attempting to do something under very difficult circumstances which not everyone approves of. here's a clip. what's going on? everybody ok? they got a call, said _ there was trouble in the house. ok, you all need to look around? it's a little wet for practice, don't you think? don't the girls have schoolwork to do? they do their homework. now i don't even mind you saying we're hard on these kids. - you know why? because we are. that's ourjob — to keep them off the streets. i so the interesting thing about this is i think will smith is really good at playing this central role. and although it's serena and venus williams who gets executive producer credit, it's notjust something which says he's fabulous. it is something which says they were very difficult sides. we get a terrific performance from aunjanue ellis as oracene �*brandy�* williams, the parent who has to stand up and say you have to talk to us, you have to make these decisions collectively. and also, as inspirational sports stories go, it's really is one of the best. what i know about sport wouldn't fill the back of a postage stamp. but even i know this story and i thought it was told engagingly. yes, there is a certain amount of soft soaping some elements of it. but it is a portrait of someone who is driven and trying to do something — and bear in mind, trying to break into the privileged white enclaves of the us tennis scene, and therefore probably has to be as forceful as he is. you don't come out of it thinking saint, but you come out of it thinking ok, i can understand how that character was important in making all of this happen — even if at times there were arguments about enough is enough. i think that's down to will smith's performance. is this one of the best things he's done for a while? i like will smith in pretty much everything, even when his films are bad. the thing is, he is a very likeable screen presence. he made some very unlikable, terrible films, but i think this is pretty decent. right, let's talk about spencer. i heard you on 5live the other week absolutely raving about this. i loved it. have you seen it? no, not yet. you have to see it. i will. we are in that period where it's awards season, so all the great films are coming out now. pablo larrain, kristen stewart is fabulous, absolutely fabulous as princess diana. three days over christmas at sandringham. it's a ghost story, a psychological thriller. it owes a debt to daphne du maurier. a brilliant score byjohnny greenwood, and it is the absolute antithesis of that terrible film diana which came out some years ago and was just awful. this is brilliant, and if kristen stewart does not get award nominations and ifjohnny greenwood does not get award nominations, there is nojustice. but in the world of film awards, there is no justice. in terms of streaming, what are you going to recommend? bruised is in cinemas, then on netflix. it is directed by halle berry, who stars, and it's the story of a mixed martial arts fighter who left the ring some time ago, now is suddenly reunited with her child and discovers she has to get back into the ring. now, it's quite well directed. it's certainly got very, very gritty, punchy fight scenes. if there's a problem with it, and there is, it ticks every sport cliche in the book. but that said, there are things it does that are interesting. it's clearly very committed. during the fight scenes, there's an awful lot of rocky, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. because i like rocky as a film. it is not the most original film, given girlfight and more recently fighting with my family, but i thought it was fine. i think it's well directed, and certainly the fight scenes are very gritty and you can feel the fights. in terms of the every sport cliche, what do you mean? so you have to get into the ring because you have to win the match, but also what you have to do is win over your life, and you have to solve the problem for your child, and you have to deal with the issue... it is overburdened with stuff that has to be overcome, and also with no plot spoilers intended, rocky is the kind of thing that laid the template for all of these movies because rocky went, if you want to tell the story, this is how you do it. and it's almost as if someone has gone out to do that. how long ago was it that halle berry won her oscar? some time, and what happened after that was that the great career resurgence did not then come immediately. the interesting thing was that this played as a work in progress in toronto in 2020, at which point i think it had a score by terence blanchard, which it now doesn't have. it has a score by aska matsumiya, who is a really exciting composer at the moment. but it's interesting, it's well directed and it's just carrying too much baggage. thank you very much. good to see you. that's it for this week. thank you for watching, and goodbye. once again, whether you like it or not, we've all made the transition into something a good deal colder and fresher across all parts of the british isles and through the rest of sunday, as was the case earlier on here in great yarmouth and norfolk, there's still that possibility across eastern parts to see a peppering of showers. now, that's the exception to a fairly dry rule for a two or three days across many parts of the british isles. but it will feel much, much colder. and for that, in the short term, we have to thank this run of northerlies flowing along the isobars, the isobars fairly tightly packed. so it's a gusty old wind and it's coming from the north. never a warm direction and certainly not at this time of year. so through the rest of the afternoon, on into the evening, we'll keep plenty of showers going across these eastern areas until they begin to fade away overnight. a little run of showers through the channel areas. the winds just beginning to ease back as well. and with that combination we'll end up, say, for the northern parts of scotland, we are going to keep some cloud and rain, quite a widespread frost in inland areas, probably the widest we've seen for a good while. but it does mean a bright and a fresh start to the new day on monday for southern scotland, parts of northern ireland, england and wales. still the run of showers in the southeast, still the cloud there from the weak weather fronts with the odd bit and pieces of rain passing by. and the temperatures at their very best might make ten degrees, if you're lucky, but it will feel fairly cool. little bit of frost, perhaps, if the cloud clears east wales overnight monday down into the midlands, central, southern england. but a lot of cloud generally on tuesday. still a lot of dry weather because the high pressure at this stage is still the dominant feature. and that could well be the mildest day of the week that i can find for you. eight, nine, ten, possibly 11 degrees. but it will change again on wednesday and on into thursday we'll bring a weather front down across all parts of the british isles like we did on saturday. and then the isobars flick around to lie north to south. and again, that's the vehicle that imports another shot of cold air down and across all parts of the british isles such that we close out the week with no signs of mild air at all. there will be some night—time frost. and with the temperatures beginning to fall away, particularly across the north of britain, expect some wintriness in some of those showers. this is bbc news. the headlines at seven: belgian police fire water cannon and tear gas at protesters in brussels marching against coronavirus restrictions. ole gunnar solskjaer has been sacked as manchester united's manager after three years, following a bad run of results. i think it was always going to happen, wasn't it? he spent all that money and it's just not good enough. the change is necessary. the taxi driver from the liverpool terror attack says it's a "miracle" he is alive, and thanks the public for their �*amazing generosity�*. the queen has celebrated the double christening of her two missing chinese tennis star pung sch—why holds a video
