to take us through this week's cinema releases is james king. so james, what do we have this week? it certainly is a funny week. we have valerian and the city of a thousand planets, a mega budget sci—fi from luc besson starring dane dehaan and cara delevingne. england is mind takes a look at the early yea rs of is mind takes a look at the early years of manchester's answer to 0scar years of manchester's answer to oscar wilde, smiths front man maurice e. and to quote the man himself, panic on the streets of london, panic on the streets of birmingham. yes, the emoji movie has been let loose onto an unsuspecting british public. be afraid! 0, lord. that start with sci—fi. british public. be afraid! 0, lord. that start with sci-fi. that is an odd week. it is august. i read that

valerian is possibly the most expensive french film ever? most expensive french film ever? most expensive european film of all time. actually, 20 years ago, there was a film called the fifth element which luc besson, the same director, made which did well. at that point, that was the most expensive european film of all time. now it is valerian, with a budget of 200 million dollars, which could not buy neymar, but it is still a lot of money. it is that in the 20th century. it is about a couple of intergalactic secret agents who are investigating strange goings—on at the office space station. cara delevingne and dane dehaan start. let's see. 0k. what's the shortest way there? north—north—east, 130 degrees. 60, 70, 80, 90. that leads me straight into a wall. you said you wanted the shortest way. wow. would i be right in saying you

can see the money? you can see the money. but watching it, ijust thought how much has changed in the 20 years since the fifth element. the sci—fi and space movies we have had from people like christopher nolan and jj abrams with his star trek and star wars movies, and alfonso cuaron and actually, valerian looks expensive, but it looks like an expensive 90s movie. i don't think it looks as elegant and as chic and certainly not as readable as the more recent science fiction films we have seen. it

actually looks a bit gaudy. we saw it towards the end of that clip. it looks quite gaudy and camp and dare i say it, quite silly at times. you are allowed to say that. 20 years ago, there was a silliness about the fifth element, but we were more forgiving. but a lot has changed in that 20 years, so now i am not so sure that luc besson‘s style, and he does have a distinctive style, feels so does have a distinctive style, feels so of the moment as it did then. and what do you make of cara delevingne? everyone wants to know that. well, she's clearly very comfortable in front of a screen. she is arguably the world's most famous model, so she looks completely at home. is she, on the evidence of this movie, the new meryl streep? i think so. however, she's very young and there is plenty of time for her to improve. i think the leaves are not the most charismatic. if you see the trailer, you will see rihanna in the trailer, you will see rihanna in the trailer a lot. she's not in the

movie that much. that is a bit of a cheat on the part of the marketing. would have liked to have seen her in it more and ethan hawke in it more. they are very much supporting characters. is it just they are very much supporting characters. is itjust looked really good, i would characters. is itjust looked really good, iwould have characters. is itjust looked really good, i would have forgiven it these problems. all right. we couldn't have anything more different for our second film, england is mine. this isa second film, england is mine. this is a biopic of maurice e's —— liszt‘s early years in the run up to him meeting johnny marr and forming the smiths. the title is from a smiths song, still ill. it stars jack lowden, who is in dunkirk as well. he plays an raf pilot. he is tom hardy's colleague in that movie. very good in dunkirk and very good in this as a young morrissey. the downside is that the first half of the film, morrissey is so painfully shy as a teenager that he is virtually mute. so you have a film

where you don't know what is going on in his head because he is such an insular character. and the film is about him coming out of his shell. most interestingly, the women in his life encouraging him to come out of his shell, his family and female friends. do you need to be a fan of the smiths to enjoy it or could this bea the smiths to enjoy it or could this be a coming—of—age film? that is certainly what it's trying to be. it is -- certainly what it's trying to be. it is —— there are adrian moleesque—macro elements of it with the nerdy, shy teenager, but also about if you follow your dreams, they will come true, which perhaps is always what you think of when thinking of morrissey, but it is there in the movie. the second half is better. that is when he does come out of his shell and becomes more flamboyant. 0k. it's august, children are not at school. you take them to the cinema a lot. in watching the trailer for the emoji movie made my eyes hurt. do you

think morrissey has ever used and emo" think morrissey has ever used and emoji? i doubt it, somehow. yeah. in terms of plot, the emoji movie is very convoluted. you can sum it up very convoluted. you can sum it up very simply. it is trying to be the lego movie, desperately, which was a couple of years ago and a huge success couple of years ago and a huge success critically and commercially. it is about this emoji living in a phonein it is about this emoji living in a phone in this emoji city which is very uniform and regimented, but he is different. he wants to prove he is different. he wants to prove he is different. he wants to prove he is different to everyone else and special and doesn't follow the herd. there is actually a meh frets, indifferent, the feeling i had when coming out of valerian. so he is a meh face, but he wants to be more than that. in this clip, we have, i can't believe i am saying this, sir patrick stewart voicing a poop emoji and james corden voicing a high five emoji. let's hear that. you are smooth. just doing my duty. ha ha! what? what did i say?

rocket, look at the party! whoo—hoo! come on, tell me you aren'tjust a little bit tempted. steven, for the last time, i don't want to buy a time—share. come on, man, it's hi—5. you know me, i'm a favourite. it's got to be some sort of mistake. i mean, look at me, i'm an attractive hand giving a high—five. fist bump! come on in. hey, ladies. fist bump? he's a knucklehead, literally! look at him. i can look like that. 0w, cramp, huge mistake! 0k, ok, i 0k, iget ok, i get it. what age—group do you think this is aimed at?|j ok, i get it. what age—group do you think this is aimed at? i would say young and in discriminating. maybe a first film when you haven't seen anything else. if it were funny, we would forgive it and of course, the lego movie was very funny. pixar make funny animations. the level of muddy in animations is very high. but i have read a lot about the cynical nature of it and the product

placement. because it is not funny, you are looking at the downside, which is that it feels very corporate. even though it is supposedly about and emoji he was to be an individual a bit different, actually, what it is selling you are very corporate and mainstream apps and games. so it does feel a bit like an advert as they run around this phone and went a different apps and games. trying to get them young. better children's films are available this summer. better children's films are available this summerlj better children's films are available this summer. i would say so. available this summer. i would say so. best out at the moment, the big sick? doing very well at the box office, so that is good to see. a romantic comedy about an interracial relationship. it is also literally about a girlfriend in a coma, speaking of the smiths. the lead female character gets very ill, and it is written by kumail nanjiani and emily gordon. it is their story, the story of how they got together. so even though it is dealing with big topics, it feels very personal and charming. they are happy to tip

their hat to richard curtis and judd apatow, who produced the film. i like romantic comedies when they are done well. we are often down on them asa done well. we are often down on them as a genre, but when done well, they are charming. i am pleased that the man and gianni and emily gordon are celebrating how good romantic comedies can be. if you want to sit on the sofa instead, what is your recommendation? free fire, from ben wheatley, co—written with his regular partner. he works across different genres, comedy and crime and dystopian sci—fi, but in all of his movies, there is this great feeling that things are about to go pear shaped. things are about to kick off, literally in this film, because it is about a meeting in the 70s in this warehouse in boston that goes wrong. it is a meeting between gangsters and arms dealers, and it is very tense and nerve—wracking and under free fire of the title kicks

in. it is notjust a shooter ‘em up, though. there are great actors in this. brie larson, gillian murphy —— cillian murphy. it harks back to gutsy 70s action films. martin scorsese is the executive producer of this film and it does have that dirty feel about it that we had in the 70s. james, thanks very much. see you next week. that's it for this week. enjoy your cinema going if you can. as we said, quite a varied bunch. goodbye. it has been another fairly showery day, not as bad as yesterday and not as windy either although it was breezy out there. a bit of a disappointing day for much of central and eastern scotland but the rain will peter out. one or two

showers across the northern and western coast. elsewhere, the showers should die out but then make a return across parts of wales and south—west england by dawn. for the start of the weekend, we have sunshine. but this cluster of showers will become widespread and sped towards england and east anglia . there could be thundery downpours mixed in with gusty winds. the heaviest of the showers will clear away to leave mixture of sunshine and showers. those showers fade away on saturday night and becomes quite chilly. sunday morning start of chilly, but dry and bright, probably the better day for many of the weekend before wind and rain pushes into northern ireland and scotland later on. at a time when brexit threatens to drive a wedge between north and south, between britain and ireland.

we need to build more bridges and fewer borders. the future of the irish border is a key part of talks with brussels, but the taioseoch says so far, british ministers have no plan. we'll have the latest from belfast and westminster. also on the programme. president trump dismisses allegations of russian links with his election campaign as "total fabrication".
