women are very mysterious. and women can smash your face in two, mister. your granny has become less mysterious over the years. so, you really like her? when i grow up, i want to marry her. yeah, sounds like you really like her. you know, she's not only at school. you can see where she lives maybe. it's reynolds drive, - four houses in from the right. well, you've done your research. i pass it every day on the way home. i tried to look in, - but she never sees me. she's always doing - her bloody homework. if she were a wee bit more stupid like me, we'd be sitting together by now. beyond all telling is the head and heart of love. he's full of pretty answers, that one. come on, it's time to go. we don't want your money shouting at me because you are late. cheerio. now, everyone who is listening to that, they are all chuckling in a lovely way. none of us have seen it coming and we already want to see it. �* , ., , . ., coming and we already want to see it. it's lovely. what happens

it's lovely. what happens is - with the rise of the troubles, there are barricades and divisions and the world around him starts to change. so here is the thing with the film, on the one hand, it's like hope and glory is being referenced because it's like a child's eye view of conflict. it also has something of roma, which was a big success at the oscars, shot in black—and—white, because he were members has passed in black—and—white, but also because black and white enables you to do infinite shades of grey in terms of the political turmoil. i also think it's important to acknowledge that there is a lot of terrence davis in this, particularly in the fact that when the kid goes to the cinema and the cinema is suddenly in colour, chitty chitty bang bang is suddenly in colour, and that thing about the rapture of going to the cinema when you are young is something that really terrence davis kind of pioneered and i think that kenneth branagh has taken a leaf out of his book. i think this is a very charming engaging, to some extent, slightly schmaltzy, but, hey, i think it hits that sweet spot between the film that pleases the critics and found that absolutely pleases the crowd. i think it's got a really strong shot, i told you this before, i think it's the best picture contender. it would not surprise me at all if this walked off at the top prize at the oscars because it's kind of got that written all over it. it's made with real love and hard. a couple of things about it that are a little bit hokey and it's slightly sentimental, but it's a childhood deal, it's a memoir about childhood. it's fiction, but it's clearly inspired by real life, and as i said, from watching that clip, if that clip didn't sell you the movie, nothing well, frankly. it that clip didn't sell you the movie, nothing well, frankly.— nothing well, frankly. it sounds delightful- _ nothing well, frankly. it sounds delightful- i _ nothing well, frankly. it sounds delightful. i think— nothing well, frankly. it sounds delightful. i think british - nothing well, frankly. it sounds| delightful. i think british people think of kenneth branagh is a classical stage actor, but actually, he has directed a lot of films. he is a ve he has directed a lot of films. he: is a very accomplished film maker. i will still fly the flag for frankenstein, and i think it's an underrated film. so, the second film this week. and is owned by guillermo del toro who obviously did shape of water, but this dates back to when he was making chronos which was a vampire movie. this is based on a novel in the 40s that was first on the 191m the 40s that was first on the mm film the wire story, bradley cooper is a natural born conmen, running away from his past, he takes up the carnival, he learns that checks of mentalism in a coded way that you can do an act that makes you look like a mind reader. the first half of the film takes place at a carnival, the second half takes place in the city where he develops and act as the great stand—in, the great fire breather. in his his and act as the great stand-in, the great fire breather. in his- great fire breather. in his his path crosses with _ great

with cate blanchett, a psychoanalyst, and is offered the opportunity to sell his soul which hejumps out. opportunity to sell his soul which he jumps out. what i love about this is three things, for as they can i let guillermo del toro's films because he's a properfilm maker he make films that create worlds. the world is artificial, but it's got its feet on the ground. the whole thing is completely immersive. the second thing is, yes, this is a knee on the wire, it was a lot to horror, it was a lot to freaks from the 19305 it was a lot to freaks from the 1930s and a real sort of cinematic treats. the other thing is it has the darkest ending of any film in recent memory, and i love the fact that it doesn't spot all that. i love the fact that the story has got this to it and it goes from here to the end, and the place that it's going to is inevitable, and it does not look away from it. it is real cinema, it's transported is. i thought it was great. i know you are not a horror i will say to mislabel commits a film noir, if any underwire, it's not not a horror film. i underwire, it's not not a horror film. ., .,, film. i am intrigued most definitely. _ film. i am intrigued most

portrayed as being caring and being sensitive and teaching lessons about respecting yourself, respecting your heritage, respecting women particularly, and its messages are all very positive. it does, however, feel it is a bit kind of ordinary. it has a strange time structure flashing backwards and forwards which i kinda thought complicated rather than compressed the narrative. it is not a brilliantly made film, but it is a film, it's heart is in the right place. he did confess, as i get older, you know, you see a film in which it's so clearly, look, these are good messages, these are the kinds of things that people, i can imagine in the right frame of mind, somebody really taking it too hard. i thought it was ok. it was more of a tv movie than a film. at its heart was in the right

of parents meeting in a room in a church in a wake of the tragedy that has engulfed them. they are having the meeting and attempt to find some kind of reconciliation. it's jason isaacs, really great actors, fran krantz is the writer—director, debut feature, i thought it was astonishingly good. i saw it a year ago when it played at the sundance film festival, and it is kind of now got lost in all the awards. it's in and simulcast like you've never seen before. i awards. it's in and simulcast like you've never seen before. i looked at it and wondered _ you've never seen before. i looked at it

about hope, and that makes it quite hard film to sell because it's dealing with some very dark subject matter, school shootings and tragedies like that. but the performances are brilliant. absolutely brilliant. i saw it to nothing about it other than a friend of mine said jason isaacs is in the best film i've seen in ages, and i would really help if you get a chance to see it in the cinema, go and see it in a cinema, otherwise it's on sky cinema, but however you see it, see it, because it is one of the most powerful films i've seen in a good many years of. it's funny how something can get lost

going, whatever you choose to see. see you very soon. bye—bye. hello. mainly an east—west split when it comes to sunshine today. there has been plenty of it for eastern scotland and parts of eastern scotland and parts of eastern england, we look to the west, there's been a lot of cloud around. as we look at the satellite picture, you can see what has been going on. the cloud has been spelling and across western areas into southern england as well, more thanis into southern england as well, more than is expected today, eastern scotland and eastern england has had the lion's share of the blue sky. what's he going to be over the weekend? what's going to in the sunshine or the cloud. this area of high pressure getting a lot of settled weather. we are bringing the cloud into more areas from the atlantic, and that is a process that will continue on through tonight. so you are likely to see some cloud increasing. of course, the cloud means that the extent and severity of frost is going to be limited compared from the last few nights. 290 scotland, a few spots in wales as well. nowhere near as cold as it was last night. of course, that means with the cloud that we are going to be struggling to see some sunshine tomorrow. the mist and fog patches and southern areas, slow to clear. as we see today, parts of western scotland seeing some outbreaks of rain. it's a mild feel in scotland and northern ireland, elsewhere, we are going to see temperatures attach higher than they have been today. parts of southeast scotland northeast england perhaps, some sunshine for a time. mostly cloudy skies overnight and into sunday morning. again, there will be a touch of frost here and there, particularly grass bright of inlet wales. that's what we do have a few clear styles. that could be sent mist and fog patches that are slow to clear on sunday. on sunday, weather front approaching northern scotland. the bulk of its rain will not get in until sunday night. ahead of it, there will be some patchy rain in the northwest and west of scotland, and an increasing wind, the gales developing in the western isles. elsewhere, winds are mostly light, a lot of cloud around a few brighter more especially if you are to the east of high ground. temperatures mayjust take a little step backwards during sunday. for the weekend, a lot of dry weather around him away from western areas of scotland. plenty of cloud as we have established, not quite as cold as it's been. noticeably so overnight. a week weather system need week trying to come into the uk, but overall in the week ahead, high pressure stays close by. that means plenty of dry settled weather to come. that is your latest forecast. mark, as ever, online. —— more, as ever, online. as a huge russian military force
