not if you are being honest. it is the ten seconds between start and finish when you're not thinking about anything, no family, no obligations, just you, being free. i got to tell you, this whole saving the world, robin hood nonsense you have been doing recently, it is not you. be who you are. why live only a quarter of a mile at a time when you can live your whole life that way. i think we get a sense there. i'm just looking at the cast list, helen mirren? helen mirren playing jason statham's mum, who would have thought it? i don't think helen mirren ever thought it, judging by her performance! she is actually funny in it. it is a deliberately over the top cockney sparrow performance from her. jason statham provides the best moment of the film. it is a scene where he is fighting the bad guys on a plane, at the same time as trying to save a baby in a carrying cot, so he has to punch people one second and the next second look after the baby. it is like something jackie chan would have done. it is almost like ballet. it is an entertaining scene in the movie. a lot of it is car chases. that is fine, that is what people want. is it doing anything that different to the other ones? i am not sure. there is a formula and it is sticking closely to it. what will number nine look like? i hope number nine will shock us. i hope it will take more risks. i enjoyed number eight, it did a good job but the problem i had is, it was occasionally treading water and i wanted more surprises. although this will be massive, i hope the next one will take more risks. let's talk about the handmaiden. this is a film you really like? this is great. it is inspired by the book fingersmith by sarah waters. there was a bbc adaptation of it. a victorian english setting. now it is directed by park chan—wook who is south korea's most respected film director. he has moved the action from victorian england to 1930s japanese—occupied korea. but the story is generally the same. a young girl from a criminal background goes to work for the lady of the manor but she is actually there to swindle her out of herfortune. unlike the book, it really relishes the power of storytelling, in other words, it is the twists and the turns, it is the horror, the comedy, the romance, it throws everything into the mix and does it in a really luxurious and lush way. i want to call it a romp but that sounds throwaway and it is not. it is a costume drama? a costume drama but heartfelt. although it is fun to watch because there is so much going on, it is intelligent and heartfelt and tender. ultimately, it is a romance. it is a beautiful, tender love story. absolutely beautiful to watch, highly recommended. and a major twist? at least one? at least one. i had read the book so i knew the twists. the end of the handmaiden, the movie was different to fingersmith. even though i knew the twists, it was still a joy to watch. let's move on to the sense of an ending. another literary adaptation. julian barnes wrote the book which won the booker prize. in 2011. now we have the movie with jim broadbent. he plays tony webster, who is semi retired and works in a camera shop. out of the blue he gets a letter saying the mother of his ex—girlfriend from when he was a teenager has died and he has been left something in her will. this gets him reminiscing and thinking back to his teenage years when he was at school and college and that girlfriend and her mother. in the present day, that ex—girlfriend is played by charlotte rampling so here isjim and charlotte getting to know one another again. let's take a look. are you married, itake it? not married. never? mysterious to a fault. i'm divorced, in case you were wondering. i wasn't, but i am sorry to hear that. on the contrary, very happily so. the best decision we ever undertook. in fact, she recently accused me of having built a shrine to you, no less. a shop, when i told her that it was you who gave me my first leica. and what did you say? a remarkable cast. the only criticism i have read about the sense of an ending is a criticism of the ending! it is certainly a story that deals with quite subtle and nuanced arguments about memory and the past and subjectivity, so in a way it can never have a big punch of an ending. in a way, the ending had to be slightly anti—climactic, because that is sort of what it is about, but when you have performances like jim broadbent, charlotte rampling who does stern and mysterious better than anyone else, when you have that calibre of performers in a movie, however subtle and nuanced and slow the story is, and it is slow, you are automatically drawn in. i liked that it dealt with quite abstract subjects. and it goes back to the ‘60s? that is an easy transition? it takes awhile to get to know the story if you have not read the book already, so it takes awhile to work where the penny will drop but for me that is part of the joy of the film that you have to work a bit to get into it. and with jim broadbent and charlotte rampling you will not go far wrong? jim broadbent is more of a curmudgeon in this movie but he does it row well. now, you have chosen raw. mark waxed lyrical about this. it is an arthouse cannibal movie. he would be upset if i did not mention it again this week! i really liked it. it does have an unwavering commitment to unsettling the audience. it is set in a veterinary college about a teenage girl who discovers her taste for flesh, her taste for cannibalism, and it is genuinely creepy and weird. the lighting, the music, the performances, it has this sort of industrial brutalist backdrop and surreal moments, and it is not often with horror films you can say ijust haven't seen anything like it before, and it genuinely disturbed me. but raw did that and did it in a beautiful way. it is an elegant film. she starts as a vegetarian! she starts as a vegetarian but things happen at college which make her realise she is perhaps not quite as vegetarian as she thought. on the squeamish scale, it sounds like something, where would you pitch it in taste? that is the wrong phrase! it is squeamish because it is beautifully done. because of the elegance that makes it more horrific. sometimes if it is straight out blood and guts slasher movie it is so in your face and there is nothing to it. when it is more subtle, that is actually creepier. let's move on, please! to dvd. this is sully, the story of the pilot who managed to land his plane on the hudson river. it is directed by clint eastwood. it was raved about at the time. and i will still rave about it. tom hanks stars as sully. although you expect it to be about the crash landing in 2009, it is in there, you see that, you experience that, but it also shows you what happened before. it also shows you sully afterwards. it shows you the investigation which happened afterwards. he has to prove that he did the right thing, that he is a hero, and of course tom hanks can do the everyday down—to—earth reasonable hero probably better than anyone else. so it is not perhaps the movie you would expect but i think that makes it all the better, because it does delve a lot deeper. and it is that quiet unfussy... unfussy is a great word for it. clint eastwood does that very well. he brings movies in on budget and on time. he does the job intelligently and you see all of that in this movie. james, always a pleasure. thank you. james king there. that is it for this week, thanks for watching. goodbye. hello. rain for some of us on good friday. for very few of us, though, during saturday. it is an easter weekend of up—and—down weather. it is cool throughout, but there are sunnier days. saturday will be one of those. there are also wetter days. looks like for some of us the rain will come back on sunday, easter day. we'll get to easter monday, as well, in this forecast, but we'll start with saturday. a cloudy start across parts of southern england. it will brighten up. sunny spells from the word go, elsewhere. it is quite a blustery day across the northern half of the uk. some gales across parts of scotland, and the showers are going to be most frequent coming into northern scotland. there will be some snow on the higher hills. one or two showers elsewhere, for northern ireland, scotland, and a few pushing into northern england on the wind as well. it will be breezy, so they will move through quite quickly. for the rest of england and for wales, we will see very few showers here. just one or two around, but the vast majority are going to stay dry. not quite as windy the further south we come, but it is a cooler, fresher feel to the weather wherever you are, especially in the breeze. so on through the day, then, we will keep a feed of showers will come into scotland, most frequent in northern scotland, again wintry on the hills. one or two for northern ireland and northern england, but very few for the rest of england, and for wales, the afternoon here will be largely dry. those temperatures down compared with good friday, so 11! degrees possible in london, only nine in glasgow. for most of us, we will be around 9—12 degrees, in the wind, making you feel cooler. and bear that in mind, heading into the higher scottish hills and mountains. so wind chill will be a factor. there could be some snow showers as well, so some wintry conditions, you have to be prepared. now, as we go into saturday evening, it will be chilly. many of the showers will start to fade away, so we're left with a mainly dry saturday evening, but we are watching a weather system coming in from the atlantic for part two of the weekend. that is easter day, for sunday. now, still some uncertainty about the detail. it looks like it is going to push some rain into northern ireland, then feed into scotland. the risk of some snow into the scottish uplands, perhaps the higher parts of the pennines, too, for a time, as the wet weather pushes across northern england, wales, the midlands, east anglia, leaving southern england dry. some uncertainty about the position and timing of this weather system. so keep watching the forecast during saturday if you've got plans on sunday, easter day. those temperatures around nine to 15 celsius. for easter monday, we're dealing with showers, most frequent down the eastern side of the uk, it will be quite windy. but there will be sunny spells around, too. but bear in mind, once the cloud clears away on monday night, it is looking frosty, and we've got some very chilly nights for this time of year coming up next week. a very warm welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to our viewers in north america and around the globe. my name's tom donkin. our top stories. north korea commemorates its founding father — but as tensions grow, will there be an act of defiance against the west?
