the big point of difference this time round, is that vin diesel who plays dominic toretto, the lead character has gone rogue. he has gone to the dark side. he is hooked up with a superb criminal called cipher played by charlize theron, who is a hacker extroadinaire. he is playing the bad guy again. we have a clip of them. this is what vin diesel does for most of the movie which is looked puzzled. here he is. let me ask you something, dom, what is the best thing in life? family. no, it is not. 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 her fortune. 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 very 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. what a difference a week makes. last

weekend and you have probably forgotten weekend and you have probably fo rg otte n by weekend and you have probably forgotten by now it was 25 degrees celsius across the south, this weekend it is closer to ten degrees across some parts of the country. 15 at best. and it will stay chilly, because the air is coming in all the way from the arctic, now this time of the year, arctic air doesn't peel that cold, because we have got some strong sunshine about. there has been a bit of sunshine around during the course of friday but overall, a lot of cloud, there is some showers round as well, and this cool pattern, with plenty of cloud and spots of rain on and off is the going to continue, notjust through the whole of easter but it, loos like into, well into next week as well. these are the temperatures for saturday. saturday. single figures in the far north. maybe 15 in london, depenning on how much sunshine we will get. into east day, so sunshine we will get. into east day, so the early hour, you can see some rain getting into north—west parts of the uk. it will start off dry in

the far south. if you are up verierly will any the morning for some of us easter day will start off sunny but quickly the clouds will strea m sunny but quickly the clouds will stream in off the atlantic and there is still uncertainty exactly where this lump of rain is going to go. the thinking is that closer towards the south—west the weather will be better. on easter monday this flabby airof high better. on easter monday this flabby air of high pressure is close to our neighbourhood. it is out west. and with low pressure here, the winds are coming in from the north, so we still keep that cool air stream. look at that, single figure temperatures with showers all the way down to the norfolk coast. finally as wet get into tuesday, a high pressure anchors itself across the uk, that minds that winds fall light. clear skies but with clear sky there's is is a good chance of some frost, ground frost at the very least. in fact air frost. in first thing it could be down to freezing 01’ thing it could be down to freezing or below and during the day struggling to round ten or 11, again

that bit warmer in london. then on wednesday, this week weather front just about squeezes into this area of line pressure. it generally mean there's is a lot of oomph to the weather front. . there there's is a lot of oomph to the weatherfront. . there may be an area of cloud on top of scotland. to the south it looks as though it is going to be dry. this high pressure still sticks round to the west. we have broadly low pressure here, the winds blow around so we keep getting that flow of north—westerly wind, but actually, with the high pressure fairly close, there is not going to be much wind round so may end up being a nice day. next week the high pressure is just being a nice day. next week the high pressure isjust again being a nice day. next week the high pressure is just again to the west of us, low pressure to the east. if you were watching yesterday it hasn't really changed. between the two the air keeps on coming in. we are not getting anything from the south. it won't be warming up in a hurry. the thinking is that later on next week that high pressure may

drift away, when that happens it opens the doors for low pressure to kind of sneak in, but they won't be very big or wet or windy areas of low pressure, it is because the jet strea m low pressure, it is because the jet stream is very weak. when we get a wea k stream is very weak. when we get a weak jet stream, the stream is very weak. when we get a weakjet stream, the lows aren't particularly intense, so the weather is kind of neither here nor there. so the best way to describe it, it is looking chilly, there will be sunshine and be prepared for a few showers. china warns the united states not to allow tension with north korea to reach an irreversible point. it says force cannot solve the problem. the blunt warning comes after the us drops its biggest non—nuclear bomb ever used in combat — killing 36 militants in afghanistan. we have afghan and us forces on the site and see no evidence of civilian casualties, nor have there been any reports of civilian casualties. after strikes in syria, afghanistan and with the threat of conflict on the korean peninsula, we'll be asking — what is donald trump's global strategy?
