time for the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have this week? a very mixed batch. we have kong: skull island, love island and we have elle. does the world need another king kong film? need, not necessarily, but once. it is the

land that time forgot meets apocalypse now. john goodman managed to persuade the us army to escort him to skull island, where he thinks something is going on. they arrive and they start carpet bombing the island in order to shake up everything on the island. a massive aid starts swatting helicopters out of the sky. it does have a great sense of fun about it. we have sam jackson, the soldier, who is not going to lose this battle. john c reilly who has been there since world war ii. tom huddlestone as a tracker, they are trying to get from one side of the island to the other and there are major beasties are afoot. here is a clip. can you smell that? it's death. what the hell is this place? this is what's left of kong's pants. i've taken enough

photos of mass graves to recognise one. the clear site isjust on the other side of this valley. we'll cross through and make it to the highest point west. this place is a real no—no, sir. we need to be going to the north side right now. and you are welcome to do that, my man... by yourself. i'm not leaving jack out there. now who's with me? we can make it. mighty right, we can make it. stay sharp, keep an eye out. i love the comment that said it is jolly good fun as long as you check your brain at the cloakroom? jolly good fun as long as you check your brain at the cloakroom7m jolly good fun as long as you check your brain at the cloakroom? it is smarter than that. the director made this small film called kings of summer this small film called kings of summerand this small film called kings of summer and very much like gareth edwards who went from monsters to godzilla. it is like a $200 million epic. he has left his fingerprints on it. yes, it is a huge monster

franchise movie, it has also got loads of very slight jokes franchise movie, it has also got loads of very slightjokes in it. i think there are a couple of references to cannibal holocaust. i like the fact that what he does is, he takes just dean of liberties with how far you can push the characters, but also remembers people are there to see the monsters. 0ne but also remembers people are there to see the monsters. one of the things that is most rewarding, when you see king kong, who is about 100 feet tall, we're not getting the edit every quarter second that the transformers movie does. it is genuine beauty in these shots. iconic image of king kong rising up in front of the sun. tom huddlestone with sammy rice soared. you can see how camera is swelling and we're not getting the stupid fast edits that have made this kind of cinema headache. what you always get is a

battle between the director and what they want, their personal vision and what the producers want. it is who wins what battles. i think he won more battles and he lost. i enjoyed it. i liked thejukebox more battles and he lost. i enjoyed it. i liked the jukebox soundtrack and the other movies it references. ididn't and the other movies it references. i didn't get bored. there were moments when i thought, wow, that is an impressive, enormous creature. i enjoyed it much more than i expected to andi enjoyed it much more than i expected to and i don't thing you have to check your brain in. i didn't get bored, says mark. the love which where you board in that? no, the best way of describing this, imagine all that haven't allows us directed by jess franco. all that haven't allows us directed byjess franco. it is in an age where mobile phones exist yet it has this late 60s, early 70s theme

beyond the valley of the dolls. it isa beyond the valley of the dolls. it is a white which his spell all men fall under. it is almost like a magical incantation and extraordinary detail. the strange thing about it, a lot of the wicker man going on in the background. it is very funny. it is oddly sincere ina way is very funny. it is oddly sincere in a way which you don't expect. it is subversive. i really enjoyed it. i went is subversive. i really enjoyed it. iwent in is subversive. i really enjoyed it. i went in thinking i would be watching a parody and it was so much more than that. i have met so many people who felt the same thing. they thought it would be a bit camp and fun. it is more than that. although it is all of those things as well. just looking at the pictures, i am a bit worried it is not camp enough!

extraordinary. interestingly, there isa extraordinary. interestingly, there is a strange sincerity that underlines it. it is a very strange movie and i liked it very much. the talking point of the week is elle. asa woman, talking point of the week is elle. as a woman, i feel anxious about going to see it actually?” understand that and i feel anxious having seen it. it can be read in many different ways and all of them contradictory. it is a film of sexual violence and has a track record of overstepping certain lines. isabel a pair, record of overstepping certain lines. isabela pair, is cinema's most fearless screen presence. she plays a businesswoman who is attacked at the beginning of the film and an almost doesn't seem to respond. she will go to the police, because as a child she was caught up

in the arrest of her monstrous father and was, in her mind betrayed by the police. here is a clip. she is so watchable, but i don't know if i have the stomach. is it very violent? i am lost for words. the director, based it on a novel. it is almost as if the character becomes the author of the film. it has been described as a black comedy, a social satire and rape revenge movie. it is all and yet none of these things. what is is nobody else other than this character could have done that. they couldn't get the cast of the financing in america. she went on to be nominated for an oscar. she is brilliant in this and i think she is brilliant in this and i think she is brilliant in this and i think she is brilliant in almost everything she

is in. if it wasn't for the strength of her performance, if it wasn't for the extraordinary way in which she just dominates the screen, this would be a very different film. that said, it is absolutely a film which is designed to wrong—foot you, which is designed to wrong—foot you, which is designed to make you feel uncomfortable. it has been interesting see billy mcclure seemed the many different ways critics have responded to it, trying to describe it. the best way to describe it, it is an isabel film, apart from the director. moonlight, it is back in the cinemas? it is back. it is such a marvellous work, a work of art and i love it to pieces. dvd for anyone staying in. we have logan. doctor strange, what would you do with a

superhero movie if you make the kind of film ken russell would make. watching doctor strange, benedict cumberbatch as a neurosurgeon that gets pulled into this strange world. sometimes you think it is an outtake of altered states. i love the hallucinogenic weirdness, but in cinemas, they take logan completely the other way. it is almost not a superhero movie. looking at doctor strange, it is a superhero movie and we can be as psychedelic as we like. it is an interesting double bill. thanks very much, as ever. a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/mark kermode and you can catch up on our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week though. thanks for watching. goodbye. sunshine has been breaking through

the cloud. this is the north coast of cornwall. there are some clear spells as we end the day, but the most of the country it is a cloudy picture. missed, murk and health. further south it stays dry for england and wales and a very mild night. 10 degrees overnight. through the day on saturday, not a bad date towards the southern half of england and wales, we will start to see the cloud breaking up quickly and temperatures up as high as 17 or 18 degrees. 0ver scotland and northern ireland we will see sunny skies over the northwest. cloudy and damp over parts of southern scotland and northern england. 0n

parts of southern scotland and northern england. on sunday the rain moves eastwards through the day and lingering long towards the south east. brighter skies pushing in from the west and a mix of sunshine and showers. feeling fresher with temperatures around ten to 13 degrees. a drug addict is sentenced to 12 years for crashing a car into a family, killing two of them, during a police chase. rozanne cooper and her 10—year—old nephew makayah dermott lost their lives. two other children were seriously injured. the driver, joshua dobby, lost control of the car and then ran from the scene. the family's lawyer said he had shown no remorse. they were taken from us with still many years of their lives to live, and have left our family with a deep void that will never be filled. as dobby was sentenced, it emerged that he has over 50 previous convictions. also tonight: schools in england are having to drop gcse and a—level courses. headteachers blame a funding crisis. throughout all of these tasks,

i hope i have never trodden on anyone to get to where i have got to. oh, you have.
