in the future is squalid and people spend their time in second life as avatars in this great big and accrue things. but if they get killed in the game they will lose everything. there are easter eggs 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 get him to the easter egg and give him the domain of the game. however ben mendelsohn‘s slimy businessman 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 12 2027. i also know where you are, you were last seen entering the 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 running in 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, 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 on someone produces the spaceship from silent running. i was won over, then that is the costume

from buckaroo banzai, 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, and 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, 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 making 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. it was self—referential but in a way that didn't distance me from it, i think it was terrific.

i would not have anticipated that. that is our easter viewing sorted! which is 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. 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 to nagasaki city and sent to this trash island on the pretext of protecting humans from an outbreak of dog flu. 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 pop 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 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. that'sjackie. he's in your corner. who's that. that is ritchie, your trainer. and my dad?

yes, you know him. that's matt. matt. that's me. 0h. yeah. my friends? yes. who are they? that's a good question. that is one of the most poignant parts, because those friends... they don't know how to deal with it. what i love about this is, paddy considine is a personal filmmaker, 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 it's like watching a personal journey, you believe every minute of it, he's struggling to remember something. 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 one, i can't watch something where you think somebody might get hurt and by definition this is what happens. although is evident that paddy considine has great affection for boxing. he loves 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. too brutal... 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. it's done in a way which is moving, often funny and touching. and very poetic. 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, aubrey plaza stars as this young woman who can't distinguish between social media and reality. it reminds me of the brilliant film the king of

comedy. robert de niro becomes obsessed, 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. here is your latest update from bbc

north—west sunday night into easter monday, notjust with rain, going into cold air, some sleet and snow from the midlands northwards. some wet snow for a time northwards, some uncertainty in the detail. the far north of scotland will stay dry during daylight hours. south of that band it turns milder and brighter, though there will still be some showers. at risk of snow, and what a busy day easter monday is, it could cause some problems. keep in touch with the forecast if you have travel plans, because we will tweak it between now and then but we will keep you up—to—date with the latest come and go to the website for the latest details of the met office weather warnings. this is bbc world news. i'm duncan golestani. our top stories: at least 15 palestinians are reported killed and hundreds injured as israeli security forces confront protesters along the gaza border. summoned to the ministry — western ambassadors are called
