A keen astronomer, hes always dreamed of going into space, a dream which becomes a possible reality thanks to a tv contest to win a once in a lifetime seat on a commercial spaceship. You could look 65. Angus may be too old and too inform to qualify, but in the wish fulfilment world of sheena mcleods debut future, he still has a shot. Angus stewart. Youre gonna be an astronaut its clear this very modest drama doesnt have the resources or the desire to become a space travel extravaganza. This was always going to be a down to earth tale of an elderly men facing up to life in retirement, with his still vibrant sense of adventure. Something this film captures rather nicely. There is also an echo of the character roy neary, the character dreyfus played in close encounters. Suggesting that angus is what roy could have become if he hadnt climbed aboard the spaceship all those years ago. Originally intended for Theatrical Release in the uk, astronaut has a televisual quality which means it loses nothing by being watched at home rather than in the cinema. In fact, right now its available through monday. Thats moving pretty fast. Altogether more adventurous is sea fever. The feature debut from bafta winning niessa hardiman. This adventurous eco chiller plays out on a fishing boat trailing the west irish sea. Joining the crew is a Research Student who gets more than she bargained for when the boat strays and becomes entangled with a mysterious underwater parasite. That could be anything. Thats what youre here for. An International Co production featuring danish connie nielsen, english hermione corfield, and scottish dougray scott, sea fever is an excellent example of how to get big results from a small budget. Finely drawn characters and a properly thought out script draw us into this confined world in which we only ever know as much as the crew members who find themselves horribly stranded while a quarantined subplot strikes an accidentally timely note. The special effects are limited, but inventive. Meaning that sea fever relies on atmosphere and tension to deliver its thrills, an endeavour in which its aided by christoffer franzens eerie ambient score. There are couple ofjumps, but this isnt some formulaic quiet bang bang affair. This is a film that gets you from the inside, much like its mysterious intruder. You can catch see fever on digital hd on all major platforms and on blu ray. Why not keep the party going . Depends on what you have in mind . Lets go to the bar. Are you kidding me . There are no bars. Theres like 7 elevens and diary queens. Sticking with horror, we summon the darkness is a satirical crowd pleaser of frightfulness at the uks premier horror Film Festival frightfest. Set in the late 80s, the story follows three Young American women who first meet travelling to a rock concert amid News Headlines of satanic murders. You girls be careful now. Why, you dont think we can fend for ourselves . Johnny knoxville is the preacher whose voice rains from radio and tvs, ranting about devil signs and devil beats of which there are plenty at the concert. It all seems fairly generic, but the film is more interesting in pandering to its audiences expectations. Its hardly groundbreaking, but we summon the darkness makes the most of its narrative on keeping its tongue firmly in its cheek. What was that . What was what . Theres a fair amount of blood letting in both of those horror titles but neither has a body count that comes close to extraction, the new Chris Hemsworth movie thats not to be confused with the bruce willis stinker of the same title which critics have argued is about as fun as having a tooth removed. They are hoping if you spin the chamber enough times, you are going to catch a bullet. Originally entitled dakar, this film finds him enlisted to kill a frankly Staggering Number of people with guns, knives, bombs and occasionally with his bare hands. Turns out hes very good at it although inevitably hes haunted by the ghost of the past and particular the memory of a child whose loss has left him with a death wish. Kid, do you trust me . No. Good. Written by joe russo, co helmer of avengers infinity war and endgame, and directed by stunt specialist sam hargrave, extractions main selling point is some virtuoso action sequences against eyecatching backdrops, labyrinthine chases that appear to play out in single shots, following characters out of windows, down streets, into cars, all without obvious cuts. During these adrenaline fuelled set pieces, you can just about forget about the emptiness of story just about. A touch of class is added to the cast and hemsworth makes a very good punch bag, even when fighting a gang of street teams he dubs the goonies from hell. You can find extraction on netflix now. Far more thoughtful is moffie, an arresting adaptation of a novel about the authors Compulsory Military Service in the Defence Force in the early 80s. Would you like a drink . No, im fine, thanks. You sure . You know where were going . Like Stanley Kubricks full metal jacket, the film is divided into two segments, the first during a brutal training regime in which theyre forced into macho conformity, the second during active service on the border with angola. Described by its director as an examination of shame amongst a generation of men who have been militarised, moffe, the title is a derogatory term for a gay man or supposedly effeminate man, is a powerful examination of toxic and masculinity, homophobia and racism. Now, that sounds like a tough watch, but the movie itself is actually surprisingly engaging, and even tender, thanks to some intimately terrific camera work from jamie ramsay, great performances by the ensemble cast, and an adventurous if occasionally overpowering use of music that draws us right into this world. Moffie is available now on home cinema. We understand the arm here has given him a taste, but we think its now time to finish the job. No, dont do that. I dont do that sort of business, you know what im saying . Its time to get into that business, if you know what im saying. For my own pick of the very best film available for home viewing, i choose calm with horses, which is on a broad range of on demand platforms from monday. Inventively adapting from a short story in colin barretts young skins collection, this striking directorial feature film is about a broken boxer torn between loyalty to his family and the criminal gang for whom he has become an enforcer. Iam who i am who you meet if you ever find yourself on the wrong side. An unexpected beauty and brilliantly scored by blank mass, aka Benjamin John power, it is shaping up as one of my favourite films of the year. Thats not you. Ive heard that a lot lately. Just time to flag the fact that guy ritchies latest geezery romp the gentleman, comes to blu ray and dvd on monday. Matthew mcconaughey is the retiring marijuana kingpin whose brit based empire is under threat from a collection of leery stereotypes, while hugh grant has fun as a camp, sleazy tabloid investigator. Play a game with me today. I dont want to play a game. Please . No. Audiences found it funny, but to my ear itjust sounded like a bunch of drunken tarantino fans who spent too much time hanging out in one of guy ritchies celebrity london pubs. Hey ho. Well, thats it for this week. Thanks for watching. Stay safe, and ill be back next week with more home viewing treats. I forgot to wash my hands. Hello there. Weve had weeks of sunshine in dry weather, thanks to high pressure, but thats all about to change this upcoming week is looking more unsettled. Thanks to low pressure it is going to feel different, it is going to feel cooler than it has none of late, temperatures returning closer to the seasonal norm and we will see a fair amount of rain at times as well, especially across the south of the country. For monday we have got low pressure in charge, weatherfront bringing a lot of cloud to england and wales, the other side of the weather front further showers and cloud to the north of scotland. Further south, we should see some sunshine to northern scotland and the far north of england. Some sunshine as well breaking out into the far south east into the afternoon. Quite a bit of cloud elsewhere and one or two showers and longer spells of rain. A cooler day for all, certainly for england and wales, but we could still make 19 or 20 degrees in one or two places in the south east of england. But with cooler air, more cloud around and a few showers, the tree pollen levels will be closed on monday low on monday, so generally for most of us around moderate. Now, as we had to monday night we hold onto the showers across the north. Some clear spells but notice this rain picking up spells but notice this rain picking up across spells but notice this rain picking up across the south as a new area of low pressure up across the south as a new area of low pressure moves up across the south as a new area of low pressure moves northwards to southern england and wales. That rain will be heavy and persistent. But with all the cloud around, temperatures shouldnt form much below nine or 10 degrees here. But a cold night to come again across the north. A touch of frost and some of the scottish glens. Here is the picture for tuesday, then. This area of low pressure will be more significant. It is going to bring some persistent and at times heavy rain across the southern half of the country where is further north it should be a little bit dry and bright at times, maybe one or two showers in the far north of scotland. But most of the rain will be across england and wales, particularly central and southern areas, and it will be heavy and persistent in places. Could brighten up persistent in places. Could brighten up later in the day across the extreme south, but that might set off the odd heavy shower. Temperature wise, the low to mid teens celsius, so feeling cooler, certainly, where you have that rain. As we move onto wednesday, there is a legacy of cloud across the country from tuesdays low. You could see a little bit of brightness in places but in the next frontal system will push up from the south to bring stronger winds and some heavy rain to wales, the south west of england and in towards the midlands through the afternoon. But it could brighten up the afternoon. But it could brighten up later in the day across the extreme south west, again temperatures reaching highs into the mid teens celsius. It stays pretty u nsettled mid teens celsius. It stays pretty unsettled to end the week. Further cloud with a few showers on thursday and friday.
