week's cinema releases is james king. so james, what do we have this week? what have you been watching? i've been watching charlize theron in a spy been watching charlize theron in a spy thriller that is james bond meets basic instinct. the name is blonde, atomic blonde. from the academy awards to the afterlife, the oscar winner casey affleck returns under sheet in a ghost story. and get ready to tap, clap and stomp your way through an uplifting new dance documentary, step. quite an eclectic mix this week, james. let's start with the big blockbuster. it looks like one. atomic blonde, starring charlie is the wrong, as spy starring charlie is the wrong, as spy thriller directed by david leitch. he worked onjohn wick with key newbies a couple of years ago and there are similarities with this film. —— with piano reeves. they have stylish content, polished, cartoonish. atomic blonde has some basis in real events because it is set in 1989 after the fall of the berlin wall. charlize theron is a spy berlin wall. charlize theron is a spy sent there by the british government to track down a list of missing agents. let's have a look. 0k. missing agents. let's have a look. ok. so is this your first time in berlin? yes. it is a remarkable time to be here. wonderful music. marvellous restaurants. you must try the central cafe for a drink. you will need it later. do you remember mr abramowitz? of course you do. yeah. we can kind of guess what happens after that. it has been hard to find clips which are not violent. she's quite adept with her stilettos. it is ridiculous. but there is some fun to be had with its ridiculousness. firstly charlize theron is great and there is a pairing that she has with james mcavoy, he wasn't in that clip that he's a fellow british agent in berlin and he's crazy and over the top and she is high school and measured so they have this great chalk and cheese partnership. but really works. she's a watchable actress. very watchable. she has an oscar winner, she can act. she doesn't have to act much in this but we know she can. and the style is great, this industrial punk aesthetic to it, this pumping 1980s electro soundtrack. we can see a bit of action, the car chases and the fights are stunning and relentless. it almost beat steve and his admission. —— beats you into submission. with it being visually striking should it remind us of pop fiction, with the violence? what it does not have is the witty, clever script. it is easy to be snobbish and say the plot is flimsy and stretched. it means you can get away with quite a lot. i think it relishes its own silliness and pulpy quality. it acknowledges that and when a film is shameless about it it can get away with much more. is it a missed opportunity because the time period in which it is set, berlin, such a great city, it could be the most fantastic story. are they not bothered about that. slightly missed opportunity but still worth seeing, a male fantasy of a female spy, i don't think many spies are six foot tall former model is a wander around in stockings and suspenders. but there is just enough awareness for it to get away with it and i would happily watch another, that movie hasn't done really well but if there isa hasn't done really well but if there is a sequel i will not complain. 0k. we moved to something that could not be more different. i am intrigued that this was shot in secret, is it apocryphal that the director was so concerned about how it might end up that he thought, ijust won't concerned about how it might end up that he thought, i just won't tell people i am making it. it is very low budget. this is david lowery, he moved into the mainstream lost it with a remake of pete ‘s dragon. —— he moved into the mainstream roster. that is out of character comedies and independent film maker, this is and independent film maker, this is a return to that. this is a ghost story as the title suggests. not a horrorfilm, drama. story as the title suggests. not a horror film, drama. casey story as the title suggests. not a horrorfilm, drama. casey affleck plays a recently deceased man who returns in spirit to his home to watch over his grieving partner, rooney mara. still wearing the sheet that he had placed over him in the morgue. talking about difficult clips to find, it is hard to show you any clips out of contact because pacing and the rhythm of the film is so pacing and the rhythm of the film is so key. it is very slow. there are many takes were seemingly not much happens, the camera is very static and quiet. there's probably more music than dialogue in it. it's even shotin music than dialogue in it. it's even shot in the old fall by three ratio, the square tv ratio to make it feel claustrophobic. so it's pretty bold and risk taking. i can understand why david lowery might have want to keep it secret in case it did not work. i think it does work. you have to ta ke work. i think it does work. you have to take a bit of a leap of faith to get into its rhythm and slowness but when you do it is rewarding and a film about memory and legacy and slowly change. i am a bit worried because the trailer might put people off, it's quite bizarre! it isn't that kind of movie. what is your third choice. a documentary, step. people use the weird feel good too much, to the point of redundancy but this is generally feel good. a documentary about a girl ‘s dance troupe, the lethal leds in inner—city baltimore. the film focuses on three of the dancers about their hopes and aspirations. trying to break the cycle of poverty they come from and get into college. very charismatic leads, the people in the film are very charismatic. as we will see in this clip. this is the girls in training. you will watch me step. i'm going to make you watch misstep. it's going to get up in your grill. i'm going to take you by your mac and go, watch me do what i do —— i'm going to take you by your neck. and you are going to go, watch me. that's what you project. that is what you step on. if you are not stepping on it, sit down, go home, good night. stand to attention and give me that face. nothing to stop! i like that teacher, i am not missing with her. she's brilliant, eve ryo ne missing with her. she's brilliant, everyone is brilliant. i really uplifting story. uplifting because it does not scrimp on the hardships. these people that we focus on have had tough lives. there is a lot of anger and it's set among the backdrop of the black lives matter movement and the female empowerment movement. so there tough issues. that makes it all the more feel—good when the highs come along and when it gets more optimistic. not really a film about stepping as a dance. if you don't know much about stepping which is popular in american colleges, it's not about the technique and history of that dance. rather it is about what dance means to people when they don't have very much else. i'm really looking forward to that one. and for best at this week you have delighted me because it is a reissue and what a pleasure it was to watch this film so pleasure it was to watch this film so many years later. this is prick up so many years later. this is prick up your ears. about playwrightjoe wharton, rereleased for the 50th anniversary of his death, the film itself is 30 years old. stephen frea rs itself is 30 years old. stephen frears is the director, it's based on the diaries ofjoe orton, we see the editor played by wallace shawn and then it flashes back to the life ofjoe orton. gary oldman is amazing as orton. i am always reminded of a couple of things, first that time in the 1980s and gary oldman and contemporaries like daniel day lewis and tim roth with the angry young men of british cinema and the future. now daniel day lewis has announced his retirement! and gary oldman will be playing winston churchill! so you feel very old watching this! secondly, more importantly, what alan bennett did with his script is captured the wit and boisterousness that madejoe orton such a great playwright in the 19605. orton such a great playwright in the 1960s. gary oldman great, vanessa redgrave, for me, it is offered melina's movie. he plays kenneth halliwell, orton‘s lover. they had it and she was ultimately tragic and shocking relationship. he steals the show. —— they had a two modulus and ultimately tragic relationship. the film is 30 years old and it is a litany of wonderful actors because the mother of orton is played by julie walters and his sister is played by frances barber, these people are part of britain's acting firmament. alan bennett has become even more part of the furniture. what he does brilliantly is give us movies that sing traditional but they are pretty out there when you look at what is going on. know quickly, the dvd. raw, student who goes to better in every college and discovers a cannibalistic tendencies. beautifully unsettling. determined to freak you out with the acting, performing and lighting and eddington. it is like carrie directed by salvador dali! james, thank you. that's just about it for this week. enjoy your cinema going. goodbye. let's check the weather for friday night, it's looking pretty cloudy this evening with some spots of rain. it's been nice in the south—east but now the clouds are increasing and the rain is not far away, not heavy, just drips and drugs, for most areas it's cloudy with just a few showers. quite breezy in the north. not a cold night, temperatures 15 in london, 13-14 in night, temperatures 15 in london, 13—14 in the north. saturday, in the south and east first thing quite cloudy. then we are left with a day of sunny spells, just a few showers particularly across central and northern areas, 22 in london, 18 in the north, of the two days sunday should be better with more sunshine around. also feeling pleasantly warm with temperatures reaching 22 in london, although fresh in the north and 16 degrees in glasgow. goodbye.

in as "truly shocking." they were living in caravans that were dirty. they had no running water. many had to use the wood as a toilet, and someone living in stable blocks with animals. and all the
