that am not ashamed to admit i've been looking forward to above all others. mamma mia here we go again. #just one look and i can hear bell ring # one more look and i can get everything # mamma mia here i go again # my my, how can i resist you? the first mamma mia here we go again was a head—spinning experience that redefined my understanding of the words good and bad. rarely has something so wrong felt so right. now this follow up takes us back to the beginning, june 1979 where lilyjames plays a young meryl streep trying on new dungarees and trying out three handsome suitors played by hugh skinners, josh dylan and jeremy eriksson who will grow up to become colin firth, stellan skarsgard and pierce brosnan. # look into his angel eyes # one look and you are hypnotised

# he'll take your heart... meanwhile, anna savary calls upon her mum's old chums for guidance for her own pregnancy in and an idyllic island has rerun of former events. this time, we know who the father is. it is hard to top the record—breaking original, but can you really resist any movie in which cher plays a glamorous granny who gets to do a show stopping version of fernando? i know i can't. # oh, no, no, no, no.# despite becoming the biggest ever hit at the uk box office, back in 2008, the original 63 mac was not nominated for a single oscar, not one. at this year ‘s academy awards in march, the top prizes were spread between a range of titles. francis mcdormand won best actress for this film. gary oldman earned a belated best actor oscar for playing wynton winston churchill in this film. and best director went to guillermo del toro‘s sublime fantasy.

as always, some of the most interesting films are in the current language category where diverse contenders included this film. this provocative film from the lebanon. this bleak film from russia. and the winner of their cannes palm d'orfrom sweden. go on, go away. go away. but the trophy went to the chilean entry, a bold

and moving love story from sebastien lily, the mesmerising central performance for this rising start, daniela vega. foreign language treats are coming to uk cinemas this summer include a big screen rerelease of the 19605 classic the nun which returns to our screens in a new restoration from the original film negative. adapted from the 18th—century novel, the nun is not to be confused with the 2005 spanish english film the none, the 2013 french film or the 2018 usa horror movie which comes to the uk cinemas in september. how many more nuns could there be? none more. it's not a drill.

he's got him. stand up. my daughters are with me. dad. let's go. can you tell me where you live? in the park? one of my favourite releases currently in uk cinemas is leave no trace, the miraculous new film from the director who made winters bone. a tale of a father and daughter living off the grid in the forests of the pacific northwest. this pitch perfect drama is as understated as it is overwhelming. so far, i think it is the best film i have seen this year. dad! dad. leave no trace premiered injanuary at the sundance film festival, a mecca for indie film—makers. meanwhile in may, france played hostto the 73rd cannes film festival where there

was the usual selection of cheers and boos. the top prize went to the japanese film—maker for his new film shoplifters which isn't due to open here till november. while most of the booing was reserved for lars von triers‘ serial killer film the house that jack built. lars had not been to cannes since he was declared persona non grata in 2011 after jokingly describing himself as a nazi who could understand and sympathise with hitler. his new film, which include scenes of violence involving women, children and ducklings, provoked mass walk—outs although lars declared he wasn't sure if his critics hated the film enough. oh, lars. spike lee's grand prix winner opens here towards the end of august. it is based on a book and starsjohn

david washington as the black detective who infiltrates the clan. i don't know if i've ever seen a movie with its tonal mismatch so over rated. judge for yourself when it here is an obvious. one film you probably want to be seen in the immediate future is the man who killed don quixote from terry gilliam which took a debut at caen amid a heated lawsuit about rights and ownership. if you sock the failed attempt to make this dream project, you can imagine that he would never get it completed however he has completed it. it is vintage gilliam that does not disappoint. i really hope you get to see it in the not too distant future. and you can look at the pictures.

there was much discussion about the role of women in the film industry and the ongoing gender imbalance. thejury president cate and the ongoing gender imbalance. the jury president cate blanchett read marked up the red carpet to the alley to highlight the need for more equality and to emphasise how badly they have underrepresented women. they were 82 women on the red carpet, representing each of the 82 women film makers who have claimed these steps since the festival began in 1946. these steps since the festival began in 1916. compared to the 1688 men. to date, only one woman has ever won the palm d'or, jane campion for the piano which this year celebrated its 25th anniversary with a big screen rerelease. despite these imbalances, women

film—makers are definitely on the rise. one of the most eagerly awaited releases of the late summer is the miseducation up cameron post, the same director who made the 2014 appropriate behaviour. the same director who made the 2014 appropriate behaviourlj the same director who made the 2014 appropriate behaviour. i have come to meet new disciple. welcome. i am doctor lydia march. i am the director of god ‘s promise. doctor lydia march. i am the director of god 's promise. high. it isa director of god 's promise. high. it is a pleasure to meet you. i know the adjustments can be difficult at first but you will find yourself at

home and written. in the meantime lee's don't hesitate to ask if you need anything. sky thank you. you should consider yourself amongst family. you can call me calm. cameron is already a masculine name. to feminise it would... to emasculate it... she plays a lesbian teenager who has been sent to a christian gay conversion camp. the star was in the acclaimed drama american honey. hello. i like your band. well, isaw american honey. hello. i like your band. well, i saw your thanksgiving show. my name is ladybird. sky it is weird you shake hands. back in

january, for her work on ladybird, a semiautobiographical coming—of—age story that just came semiautobiographical coming—of—age story thatjust came out on dvd. as did you were never really here which w011 did you were never really here which won an award at cannes last year. and also this film. if you don't fa ncy and also this film. if you don't fancy making a trip to the cinema this summer, these cells are well worth watching at home from the comfort of your own so far. —— so far. and then there are those who prefer the films to watch them outdoors. in the recent patch british audiences have watched these films on a slimming pill and on a pier. although outdoor cinema starts after the sun goes down, more versatile screens have led to a rise in daylight performances so always check your start thames. this year you can see the italian job with a full orchestra or the guineas and the greatest showman and the shape

of water in the edinburgh royal botanic gardens. at this castle picnic cinema presents priscilla queen of the desert and the big lebowski. with the closed theme from fli p—flo ps lebowski. with the closed theme from flip—flops to feather is encouraged. in nottingham, there is a screening of christopher nolan ‘s spectacular batman epic the dark knight rises which you can watch in the shadow of this whole. meanwhile, in london, somerset house has its annual outdoor programme which this year is themed around dreams, fantasies, nocturnes and reveries. diverse films include labyrinth, the wizard of oz, cairo, sleeping beauty and selma. my own highlights would be david lynch and bride of frankenstein. one film that has been selling out

at outdoor screens this summer is the greatest showman which has proved a crowd pleasing singalong head. it opened at christmas to negative reviews and some say as the result of those reviews a shot showing at the box office. but there's something unusual started to happen. thanks to repeat viewings and word of mouth, the hugh happen. thanks to repeat viewings and word of mouth, the huthackman star began to climb rather than defend the charts, reaching the number one sport in its sixth week. an unprecedented turn of events. critics were accused of misjudging the movie and failing to recognise its popular searches. —— its popular virtues. quite the opposite was true of star wars the lastjedi which

encourage the hire of star wars fans being accused of being bought off by disney. an organised campaign against black panther saw a group of hyperventilating boys publicly conspiring to damage the films rating on rotten tomatoes, the review site which attempts to... the campaignfailed, and review site which attempts to... the campaign failed, and it became a huge hit along with avengers infinity ward. we are using made up name names. then i and spider—man. the end is near. this summer brings us the end is near. this summer brings us the sequel to this day in the least trouble and man which was set to be directed by edgar wright and

man which was set to be directed by edgar wright until he left to helm bb driver. this film was originally to open at the end ofjune but was pushed back to august to avoid clashing with the world cup which sparked an online petition to bring it forward again. make your mind up. what are you waiting for?” it forward again. make your mind up. what are you waiting for? i am jumping out of a window. good luck. and then there is mission impossible, their sixth instalment. directed by christopher quarry it reunites the start alongside newcomers. the actor was sporting a moustache that had to be digitally removed for a baby should notjust this week. he broke his ankle during production and had to stop. i hope it was worth the pain. there is

plenty of action men in cinemas this summer. hot on the heels of welcome to thejungle summer. hot on the heels of welcome to the jungle and rampage, summer. hot on the heels of welcome to thejungle and rampage, one man is back again in skyscraper while jason ‘s goes head—to—head with the world's biggest shark. there summer blockbuster was built on this film which set a pattern for such seasonal sensations. i have always said that jaws is not about a shark, it is about a crisis of masculinity in the post—watergate age, but as for this film i am pretty sure it is about a shark. i have often said that we are living through a golden age of animation, and on the basis of films based in uk cinemas this year that continues to be true. in march the animated feature oscar went to cocoa which is a gem and set about their mexican day of the dead.

the message, love never dies, is a wholly admirable message. this isn't a dream. you are really out there! meanwhile, excel with incredible two is one of the must see films of the summer. more than a decade after the original first introduced us to the family, this sequel finds bob playing with the at home dad well mum is out kicking as. it is an absolute treat, not least because there is a lot more jackjack attack. ok, judge i want a cookie? there is a lot more jackjack attack. 0k, judge i want a cookie?‘ cookie? kooky? ok. attack. 0k, judge i want a cookie?‘ cookie? kooky? 0k. one of attack. 0k, judge i want a cookie?‘ cookie? kooky? ok. one of my favourite animations of the year is early man, a football themed delight which marked nick park as solo

director. it opened in uk cinemas earlier in the year and at the time isaidi earlier in the year and at the time i said i couldn't wait for the dvd release. this summer i suspect that plenty of families with youngsters will have the dvd on a hard rotation both for home viewing and for those long holiday carjourneys where the kids really need pacifying. sadly, you will have to wait till september for the dvd release of this film, a sublime animation from the irish studio behind some of the sea, brilliantly directed. in the meantime, this film heads in cinemas at the end ofjuly while live action and computer graphics come together in christopher robin in august. piglet! if anyone wants to clap, now

is the time to do it. like animation, horror is experienced a renaissance. at the oscars, get out was nominated for several awards, welljordan appeal became the first african—american to win for screenplay and to be nominated for producing, writing and directing in the same year. since then, we have had the silent terror of a quiet place and issues success of hereditary. coming away this summer, we have this film, the secret to the us co—production which proved to be a blair witch project for the broadband era. and then we have this film, it was an internet game in 2009, caused moral panic in 2014 and was the subject of a documentary, beware the slender man in 2016. from

slender man to journey man, this boxing picture comes to dvd at the end ofjuly. it is a number of pictures which is in surprisingly rude health, certainly from a creative point of view. home—grown highlights released in the uk have also includes —— included a comedian finding her feet also includes —— included a comedian finding herfeet in northern also includes —— included a comedian finding her feet in northern club circuit co—starred the ubiquitous... how very nice it is to be here this evening. but then again i'm from robert, so it's nice to be anywhere. i don't know how to see this. i think i want to have an affair. at the end of august we have the uk release of this film. the story

concerns a high courtjudge called upon to rule in the case of a minor refusing a conclusion on religious grounds. this film is based on the book by the author ian mcewan. grounds. this film is based on the book by the author ian mcewanm grounds. this film is based on the book by the author ian mcewan. it is hopeless. is it? also we will see the arrival of beast on dvd on jersey. these rising star is provide the spark which is a psychological cat and mouse in which desire and danger and innocence and guilt are intertwined. it is a very impressive feature debut from michael pearce, a name to watch in future. if you are feeling adventurous in the support of home industry and we are in the home of the reddish film industry

then why not check out this uk film inspired by the 2010 play drawing on the true life story of a young boy who left rough on the streets of moscow where he was befriended by a pack of feral dogs. it had a brief theatrical run in june pack of feral dogs. it had a brief theatrical run injune and july but you can watch it now on streaming services on bfi player and movie. if you're feeling blockbuster out, believe me, this really something different. i know she still has she and her heartjehovah. different. i know she still has she and her heart jehovah. a british drama about the jehovah's witnesses, this film follows a mother and her two daughters one of whom finds herself barred from the close—knit community in which she grew up and from contact with herfamily. if you wa nt to from contact with herfamily. if you want to catch an old classic there is plenty to fit the bill. these two

felt i part of a joan crawford season in august, die—hard hollywood gym that are always worth catching in the cinema. there is also a rerelease of this film. one of my favourite films of the 1980s. i will leave you with this teaser from orson welles, not a film—maker 01’ from orson welles, not a film—maker ora from orson welles, not a film—maker or a film critic but a film poet. having played to rapturous applause in cannes in may, this documentary opens in august where it is sure to prove an eye opener. enjoy the summer. dear orson welles. you left no autobiography but you left something else. i went to the secure storage unit in new york and look what i found in the box. drawings. many have never been seen before.

you draw yourself crying. brief of the free man who hanged himself. did you jam yourself and if so, for what? who were you? there are at least at thousand of your artwork. can we tell your story? we can still look through your eyes. we have seen a little bit of drizzly rain first thing this morning but high pressure is building in again for the rest of saturday which means there will be more sunshine around

on the whole than we had on friday. there are one or two exceptions, the rain coming back into the north west of scotland. there could be showered around through the afternoon hours as temperatures are expected to get to the high 20s. compared with yesterday it will feel warm. the best of the sunshine around the coast. warmer, brighter with more sunshine in northern ireland and much of scotland as well. later in the day, patchy rain coming back to the day, patchy rain coming back to the north and the west. for easter in scotland for the open it looks nice and it should be a bright picture. a bit warmer tomorrow and a bit more sunshine around. there is a westerly breeze which will dry out the ear as it comes over the grampian mountains. there will be more moisture around generally across scotland and northern ireland. more quote for england and ireland. more quote for england and ireland. it will be a fairly

uncomfortable night because we start to build the humidity in the coming few days as well. it looks like another fine and sunny day for the majority of england and wales. eastern scotland and eastern northern ireland. but the north—west will be cloudier than we have seen to date and the cloud thick enough rain and drizzle. particularly across the northern isles. around the western coast, cooler, 25 degrees in scotland, 23 in northern ireland and pushing towards 30 degrees in the south and east of england. only a small chance of a shower. we will have a weather front early next week meandering its way across scotland and northern ireland so across scotland and northern ireland so we're into the atlantic fresh air, but ahead of it, the heat will continue to build. there will be more heat escaping at the time of year, so more heat escaping at the time of year, so on more heat escaping at the time of year, so on balance, the temperature start to increase by day and it will be towards the mid—30s as we go into next week. there is more on the
