of the walls and behaviour is howl feel it. of the walls and behaviour is how i feel it. —— disregard of the rules. ifind my feel it. —— disregard of the rules. i find my aircraft in syria on a daily basis. they are being intercepted by russian aircraft. again, it feels different from what we have seen in the past. at the end of this year, when your celebrations are complete, what do you hope he will take away from the ceo of centenary celebrations?” will take away from the ceo of centenary celebrations? i hope and injuring legacy. —— they will take away. recognition of the air force being at the cutting edge of technology now and in the future. —— from this year of centenary celebrations. to see that we are talented, skilled, challenged, willing to challenge themselves, that we still have those people going forward. and that people will look at that as an example and say, yes, that's an organisation that is

healthy, confident, strong, and i look forward to 2118. and i often think that 2118, when we get there, they will look back at us, just as we are looking back to 1918. they will see the legacy that took us through to our second centenary. thanks very much for talking to us. at nine o'clock there'll be a round up of global affairs in world news today. but now on bbc news its 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 exciting week, we have ready player one, steven spielberg adventure, stop motion from wes anderson in isle of dogs, not that one! and journeyman, a paddy considine drama that really packs a punch. steven spielberg, what did you make of it? i hadn't read the book. the setup is that real life in the future is squalid and people spend a lot of their time in second life as avatars in this great big computer game called the oasis where they can get possessions and accrue things. but if they get killed in the game they will lose everything. easter eggs are hidden in the game,

are hidden within it by its designer who is a benevolent figure who has now passed on. our hero, his avatar, in the game, is looking for the keys that will give him the domain of the game. however ben mendelsohn‘s slimy businessman in the real world is also trying to get those keys so you have the interplay between the avatar world, the unreal world, and the real world. and it works surprisingly well. here's a clip. wade owen watts born august 12th 2027. i know where you are, you were seen entering your trailer, three days ago and you haven't left since. what are you doing? with all going on in this world do you think anyone gives a damn about some explosion in some ghetto trash warren in columbus? don't do this, i'm not even there. not for long. dial alice.

pick up, pick up, alice! it looks expensive, i will say that much. it is a steven spielberg film! realworld, unrealworld, the two meshed together. one of the things i liked about it is the interplay between the two worlds. the other thing is that the virtual world is packed with pop culture references from the 70s and 80s, very early references from the 70s and 80s, very early on someone produces the spaceship from silent running. i was won over, then that is the delorean from the film back to the future. you think this could become just about spotting the references but it is a real popcorn sugar rush thrill ride. you can tell spielberg loves the avatar world he has created.

and you get emotionally engaged with the characters. it would be easy for this to become just a technical exercise, when you spot the references and look at the visuals, but you care about the story, the story makes sense and believe me if the story is set in a computer game and makes sense to me, it will make sense to anyone! i went in, with trepidation and i watched everything with a huge smile on my face , i laughed, i was excited, swept along by the action. i loved the constant pop culture references, some i got, some i didn't, it didn't make a difference. i thought, it is a really great popcorn candyfloss film made by a master who understands how to do this and who obviously has created many of the pop culture references to which this film refers. self—referential but in a way that didn't distance me from it, i think you'll enjoy it. you've sold it.

i would not have anticipated that. that is our easter viewing sorted! a shame because i was going to go home and say i want to see isle of dogs. i am a dog lover, very excited. see both. i'm also a dog owner and a cat owner. it's stop motion from wes anderson set in japan in the future. all the dogs have been taken from nagasaki city and sent to this trash island on the pretext of protecting humans from an outbreak of dog flu and snout fever. all these dogs are dumped on this island and a young boy separated from his dog which has been sent to the island flies there to try to find him. when he gets there he finds a pack, they describe themselves as scary indestructible alpha dogs, their battle cry is "let's have a vote". they help him find his lost dog. you can read this as a parable about outsiders and closed borders,

or a story about leadership and pack action. you can see it as a lovely film about a boy and a lost dog. there is... is it fun, serious? both those things. really good fun, often very funny and because it is wes anderson, quirky and offbeat. some things in it are quite grisly. there's a sort of live sushi sequence, our young hero gets a propeller prop stuck in his head at one point propeller prop stuck in his head at one point and one dog is told to stop licking his wounds, literally, and you even get an organ transplant, so it's not entirely cute and cuddly. it is scratchy. notjust the dogs, it's the animation. it has this lovely tactile quality and a very good voice cast, bryan cra nston, scarlett joha nsson. the visuals are breathtaking. as i watched i thought, i must see this again because you miss so much on a first viewing. every time you look at a frame it is full of delights, you want to watch it again. some things about it are beautiful, some are harsh, you have to see both of them. you have to see that and ready player one.

i'm so excited about paddy considine. i feel physically winded from watching that film but in a good way. this isjourneyman, starring paddy considine, he has a title to defend and he's also a husband and father. in a boxing match he is punched heavily and he's severely injured. he has a life changing injury and suddenly finds himself having to rebuild his character because the injury has changed who he is and what he knows and what he does. and also what he can remember about his life. this is a clip. who's that? that'sjackie. he's in your corner. who's that? that is ritchie, your trainer. and my dad? yes, you know him. who's that?

that's matt. i'm matt. you're matty. that's me. yeah. my friends? yes. where are they? that is a good question. that is one of the most poignant parts, because those friends... they have abandonned him. they don't know how to deal with it. what i love about this is, paddy considine is a personalfilm maker making films that come from the heart. the title isjourneyman which means one thing but it is the story of a man going on a journey. i thinkjodie whittaker, who plays his wife, is brilliant. you feel her presence even when she isn't there. the narrative is straightforward but you believe every minute of it, he's struggling to remember something.

that gesture he does. you can see him struggling, what he is doing through his physicalisation, he is externalising something which is interior which is very hard to do, there's one scene when he's on the phone to jodie whittaker. his wife. i was in pieces. in floods of tears. i am so glad you liked it. i thought it was terrific. you completely believe in the characters. i don't know anything about boxing. i have never been to a boxing match. i couldn't watch a match, i can't watch something where you think somebody might get hurt and by definition this is what happens. although it's evident that paddy considine has great affection for boxing. i think it's really interesting. three really interesting films, go and see any or all of them, it will be a packed weekend. i'm going to be busy. what is the best of the bunch?

have you seen this film by lynne ramsey? promise me that you will see it. i'm anxious. let me sell it to you like this. it is tough, joaquin phoenix plays a hit man character going to get a lost teenager and it has violence and brutality but it is done poetically. done in a way which is moving, often funny and touching. and very poetic. it's not the film it sounds like when you describe the plot, i promise. in the same way that journeyman is not a story about boxing, it's not really about boxing. you will love it. dvd of the week? ingrid goes west, this young woman who can't distinguish between social media and reality. it reminds me of the brilliant film the king of comedy. it is kind of like a stalker story, on the one hand dark and sinister,

on the other hand comic and it walks that tightrope very well. didn't get a big audience in cinemas but deserves one on dvd, i thought it was terrific. thumbs up across the board. so much great stuff to watch. i'd be really interested to know what you think of ready player one and the isle of dogs. i will see them both. thank you, mark. just a reminder, you can find all the film reviews from across the bbc online. this is the address. all our previous programmes are on the bbc iplayer of course. particularly, this easter long weekend, enjoy your cinemagoing because there are some real treats to watch. a busy weekend ahead. bye bye. for some, our good friday was

thoroughly wet and miserable. other areas had sunshine and a nice sunset to end the day. it looks like the rest of the easter weekend into next week will be unsettled. more rain at times. snow in the forecast. it'll remain cool. dry and bright interlude in places. the rest of the night, this rain band will continue to move north and affect much of wales. central, northern england, and eastern scotland will be burdened with snow on the hills. the north—west of the uk and south—east of england, should be largely dry. a rather damp start tomorrow for wales and england and eastern parts of scotland. further rain until snow, which should ease into the afternoon and leave a legacy of nastiness and cloud. it'll feel very cold to give us cloud. it'll feel very cold to give us that easterly wind. easter sunday

probably the best day of the weekend. a frosty start but mainly dry with sunny spells. goodbye. this is bbc world news today. i'm kasia madera. our top stories... at least 15 palestinians are reported killed and hundreds injured as israeli security forces confront protesters along the gaza border. western ambassadors are summoned to the russian foreign ministry as tit—for—tat expulsions continue over the poisoned spy. fresh controversy for facebook as an old memo emerges saying anything it did to connect people was good — even if it led to a death. dancing with a purpose — we meet the woman behind the amazing moves of these nigerian street children.
