and, hacksaw ridge, mel gibson at war. trainspotting 2. i can't wait. t2 trainspotting. one of those titles you can't quite get a measure of. 20 years later, the original characters are reunited. renton is drawn back into his past for reasons which are not immediately explained and we find the old crew ravaged not so much by heroin as by age and by disappointment and by a degree of emasculation in the way in which their lives have not worked out as they have expected. begby has been in prison and spud, when renton first finds him, has basically all but lost the will to live, until his friend returns and gives him new vigour. i can't fail again. i need to detox the system. spud, detox the system? what does that even mean? it's not getting it out of your body that's the problem, it's getting it out of your mind. you are an addict. lam trying. so, be addicted. be addicted to something else. you have got to channel it, you have got to control it. people try all sorts. some people try boxing. boxing?! it was just an example. what did you channel it into? getting away. that clip is good because it was funny but ends on a melancholic note. as somebody who saw the original 20 years ago, i remember being really astonished by how dark it was. but people forget about how shocking it was. what i liked about this was it felt like a film about middle age, about the way in which the world changes, about the way in which the characters bodies have changed, their characteristics have changed, and as with so many of danny boyle's films, it's about friendship, the way the present loops back to the past and has this elegiac longing for the past. my only reservation with this, i thought it worked really well because i didn't want to be let down. i didn't want them to be revisiting this for cash, for money, because that is an easy thing to do. it is a film with integrity. the screenwriter has created something new. they have created something artistic. it is really well directed. my only question would be, i don't know what it would look like if you were a young viewer seeing it for the first time, not having all that history with trainspotting, because a lot of what it is doing is playing with the past. but i like that about it. the interplay between the past and the present. it's like meeting these characters again and genuinely seeing what time has done to them. and the screenplay from the original from the irvine welsh book was funny and quite philosophical. a brilliant screenplay. is it as good? i think he has done a brilliantjob. there are an awful lot of laughs in it. it is definitely more melancholy than the original. it doesn't have that vampiric bite that the original had, not the venomous feeling. but what it does have is a sense of ennui, though i feel like i am underselling it. a sense that life is full of disappointments but somehow finding vibrancy and giving a voice to those characters who would otherwise have been written off as deadbeats again, following on that tradition. i am looking forward to your other choice. sing is about a group of animals in a singing competition. it owes a lot more to mickey rooney, judy garland, old school, let's put the show on here rather than a singing competition. it starts out as a singing competition but moves on to saving a theatre. it won me over very gradually. at the beginning i thought it was sweet natured fun but as it went on, it started to have that charm, that old—fashioned throwback charm which i loved from all those old musicals. you can tell it's notjust something which is just fluff. yes, it's bright and shiny with more pop tunes in it than you could wave a stick at but it has something important. it has a bit of heart in it and that is down to garthjennings. hacksaw ridge. mel gibson reinventing himself again? this is about someone who volunteered as a medic in world war ii and refused to carry a weapon into the unfolding horror of war. let's see a clip. how come you don't fight? you think you are better than us? no. what if you were attacked? do you like that? bible says to turn the other cheek, you see, i don't think this is a question of religion, fellows. i think this is cowardice, plain and simple. is that right? well, go on. take a poke. i'll tell you what, i'm going to give you a free shot. right there. hit me. go on. let him have it. the peculiar thing about this film is before i saw it, i heard people comparing it to apocalypto, what i think is mel gibson's best work but this is not it. this is two films fighting for supremacy. the first half of it is almost cheesy. it's saccharine sweet, almost. then we moved to the war scenes and they are brutal and bloody and if you have seen the passion of the christ, you know that mel gibson absolutely really does gore. what that means is you get two separate movies going on. sometimes the battle sequences are absolutely horrific and up there with the steven spielberg stuff from saving private ryan but sometimes they teeter over into something which approachs parody, almost tropic thunder, so you get a weird mix. the movie feels like it is pulling in a number of different ways. i came out of this slightly baffled because there are things things in it that are really cheesy, some things that are really saccharine, other things that are brutal and i think it has moments that are really striking. the story is really striking. it is a true story and i have read a bit about him in the past. it is a great story. the point about that was that he is a brave man and refused to fight. just because the story is great, doesn't mean the film is consistently great. i wonder if the saccharine start at the beginning was mel gibson trying to prepare the american public to find someone who was a conscientious objector brave. i literally spent the first third of the film thinking, when is this going to turn into the great movie that everyone tells me it is? once we had got into the war sequences as i said, he can do that stuff really well, but he can also push it too far. not clint eastwood then? no, but that is an interesting comparison because his movies are different to an american audience than to a british audience. what more can we say about la la land? i love it. people are concerned that it is not as good as we have been saying, like it is overhyped, but i haven't stopped singing it since i saw it. i loved la la land. best film and best director for the baftas and the oscars? yes, i think it will absolutely sweep the board. finally, under the shadow, which i haven't seen yet. you must, because you will absolutely love it. it is a british production set in jordan. it is about a mother and her daughter in an apartment building being shelled but they are being terrorised by a jinn spirit. it owes a debt to things like the shining, rosemary's baby. it is smart, it is influenced by the brothers grimm and i promise you will love it. right, that is my homework for the weekend. i shall look for under the shadow. you will find more film news and reviews across the bbc including all our previous shows on the website. thank you for watching. enjoy the movies. is trying to turn mild at the moment and we're starting to lose their winter ritual that has been with us for quite a while now. we get there there are still cold and icy conditions as we had through sunday morning. here is a view in scotland, cab to buy one of our weather watchers. in sunday we will have a cold and icy start to the day and some rain on the cards as well. we have some rain falling out there overnight tonight. many of us tried but with rain, sleet and snow across northern and eastern parts of scotla nd northern and eastern parts of scotland lingering through the overnight period and elsewhere after daytime rain we have wet surfaces and temperatures falling below freezing so icy conditions are risk for many places as we had through the first part of sunday morning. take care of you plan to travel on the road there could be slippery surfaces almost anywhere. it is milder in the south and south—west so milder in the south and south—west so i'm likely to be frosty and icy. more cloud moving in with rain and the rain moving eastwards through the rain moving eastwards through the day. north—east england that much of scotland should stay driver down towards the south—west of england and wales, the midlands, a 5°99y england and wales, the midlands, a soggy afternoon. three o'clock on sunday afternoon, the far south—east of england and anglia dry into the latter pa rt of england and anglia dry into the latter part of the afternoon. for manchester belfast will be raining and grey and damp. newcastle nights was scotland we have a different feel to the weather here with wintry sunshine on offer. into sunday evening that where weather will clear away towards the east and we are clear away towards the east and we a re left clear away towards the east and we are left with a legacy of low cloud, mist and fog for many. a gloomy start to monday morning. mild in the south—west but increasingly cold as we head north eastwards. temperatures still subzero was a risk of fog and icy stretches. wherever you why readers a great start to the day on monday. remaining the way through the course of the day with light patchy rain working in from the west. the project was the south—west is 11 degrees also, still only about six degrees also, still only about six degrees and towards north—east england and eastern scotland. it in terms of the weather. by the time we reach tuesday a frontal system moves in from the west and it is slow—moving but it will bring outbreaks of rain. temperatures, however, different and we have seen recently. 10— i2 however, different and we have seen recently. 10— 12 degrees however, different and we have seen recently. 10—12 degrees for most places. still holding on to break through time from wednesday, clearing eastwards with further outbreaks of showery rain. things are becoming much milder but also more unsettled and little sunshine on the car through much of the week ahead. chanting: no hate! no fear! muslims are welcome here! protests at new york'sjfk airport — and a legal challenge — as donald trump signs an executive order banning migrants and refugees from several muslim countries. this is wrong and we are going to fight it right here on the streets, we are going to fight it in court and... we are going to have extremes that in which we should have had in this country for many years. thank you, everybody. the move is criticised by the un and some european governments — canada's prime minister says those fleeing persecution will be welcome in his country. british prime minister theresa may signs a 125 million dollar defence deal on a visit to turkey.
