to take us through this week's cinema releases, james king is with me. so, james, what do we have this week? well, for comic book fans, there is evangeline lilly creating a buzz in marvel‘s ant—man and the wasp. for music fans, there is nick offerman following his dreams of rock stardom in hearts beat loud. and for gemma arterton fans, there is gemma arterton, just being awesome in the escape. let's start with ant—man. did we need a sequel? is the world crying out for this? apparently so. it is three years since the first one. this is ant—man and the wasp. so, paul rudd and evangeline lilly are the title characters returning, better known as scott and hope. michael douglas is back, as well as hope's father, dr hank pym, the science boffin. and this time round,

villains are after his secrets. they're after what he knows about shrinking. there is an lot of shrinking in this film. let's look at evangeline lilly as the wasp in action. ok, i wouldn't mess with her. she's cool, actually. there is a slight difference to the first one in that it does feel more like a three—hander. so, paul rudd, who is ant—man, shares pretty much equal screen time with evangeline lilly and michael douglas. so it feels more like an ensemble piece. if you look at the way marvel has been going, they love an ensemble movie now. this fits into that, although the mood is of course much lighter. there are dark marvel movies, there are epic marvel movies. there are rebellious and silly marvel movies. this one has its own personality, as it should, and it is the more child—friendly marvel movie. it is a bit more flippant and funny and frothy and pacey, and there is nothing wrong with that. but, ultimately, it is slightly less memorable because of that. so there's nothing wrong with that in august as long as there's

something for adults and children, ‘cause that's what we all need at this time of year. absolutely. i was a little disappointed that michelle pfeiffer, who plays hope's mother, is not in it that much. admittedly, she has been trapped in what they referred to as a sub—atomic quantum realm for the last 30 years, so she has essentially been shrunk in amongst the atoms. she's in it a bit, but it's michelle pfeiffer, i would like to see more of her. but if you are an 8—year—old viewer, they probably don't care whether michelle pfeiffer is in it. who is michelle pfeiffer? it is pacey and fun and there are great action scenes around san francisco. they have a lot of laughs with it, and that is the main thing. there's a lot of fun to be had with shrinking things and enlarging things, and they make the most of it. hearts beat loud — i am intrigued by this. should we call it a musical or a drama? i suppose it's a musical drama.

very big on the festival circuit like south by southwest. it's about a father and daughter, nick offerman and kiersey clemons, who have been playing music together for most of their lives, jamming together as father and daughter. they live in brooklyn and the summer before she is about to go to university, they actually start to take things more seriously and start to write songs together and upload them and get a bit of attention. so what you have is a film about people embracing change and coming out of their shell a little bit. i think it's actually impossible to dislike this film. it is so good—natured, it is so warm—hearted. it's really about the therapeutic power of music and how it can bring people together. that's gorgeous, and the music itself, which is original music, is gorgeous. there is a downside in that it's not exactly edge of your seat. i mean, a little bit more threat would not have gone amiss. a little bit more edge. but, ultimately, it's full of good nature and optimism. i love that theme about the power of music.

that's terrific. exactly. of course, the music had to be good in it. that is the key thing because if they start playing and we in the audience go, "it's not that great," the whole thing would be over, but the music is genuinely good. i hope it crosses over from the festival circuit into the mainstream. and your third choice this week — is this gemma arterton‘s bid for an award from what i read? i would love to see her get an award for the escape. dominic savage is the writer and director about what seems to be a very everyday suburban housewife, a wife and mother. got the two cars in the driveway, two children, the husband is ok—ish, played by dominic cooper. it's a normal suburban life, but on the inside, she's having a breakdown. she wants to escape and be someone else and somewhere else. i don't care if they finish theirdinner...

you're a great mum. you love them to bits. hey. that's what you do for kids. you look after them, you bring them up and they treat you like crap most of the time. that's what happens, everyone knows that. i don't care about them. oi. you don't mean that. you're a mum, that's what mums do. don't care if they don't finish their dinner. don't care if they... oi, oi, oi. don't care. don't care if they go to school, if they don't go to school. what are you talking about? stop it. but i make myself care, make myself do it. i make myself be funny... alright. ..and happy, silly... alright. like you. i think they hate me. shut up. i think they can feel what's going on. alright, this has got to stop now. is it quite claustrophobic? claustrophobic at the right moments, and then things change and other things happen, that i won't give away. a lot of it is improvised, which really helps.

i didn't realise that when i watched it, ijust had a sense as a viewer that it felt very natural. it really flowed very casually, actually. and then afterwards, reading about it, a lot of it was improvised, which makes sense and really helps with the realism of it. very believable and just really good at capturing the minutiae of suburban life, of being a parent, the frustrating things, actually, about being a parent. there is this underlying menace throughout the whole thing and the music really helps with this. you just think, yeah, things aren't going to go well. things are going to implode. things are going to go badly. i think it's her best performance. it actually reminded me of films that i seem to associate more with coming out of france, those sort of unhurried character studies, grown—up movies with kristin scott thomas in or isabelle huppert, someone like that. i thought it was just fantastic. it is her best performance and utterly heartbreaking. and we're not giving any plot spoilers,

but that sounds like one to watch. in terms of the best out this week, you could feel the money in mission: impossible. there was a big budget for that film. and it has made a lot of it back already. the biggest opening weekend for a mission: impossible film in the states, ever. 22 years after the first one, this is number six and it's still doing incredibly well. last week, we talked about the action scenes, which are brilliant. we talked about the realism of it, actually. a lot of it feels very contemporary and plays with the fears we have. iforgot to mention a couple of people — vanessa kirby, who is great. she pays a black—market arms dealer. probably best known from the crown, she plays princess margaret. she really radiates cool in this. you can see her there. and the brilliant sean harris, who returns as solomon lane, the bad guy. lowestoft‘s finest, sean harris. he is spine—chilling, as always. so a couple of very good performances, as well as tom cruise. who still looks about 38.

looks 38, throws himself headfirst into the action, has this great relationship with christopher mcquarrie, the writer and director. they've worked together many times now. they bring out the best in each other. it is a terrific watch. and a quick thought about a dvd for anyone staying in? l'amant double, the double lover. psychological thriller. real nods to the greats like hitchcock, about a young woman who falls in love with her psychiatrist, suspect that he has a double life and is hiding secrets about his family. lots of mirrors, lots of split screen, lots of references to split personalities, so all the classic psychological thriller stuff is in there. it's hypnotic and mesmerising and pretty seductive. it earns its 18 certificate. it becomes kind of fifty shades of frasier by the end of it. but i think it's really classy and there's a lot of panache there. 0k! you don't look won over. i'm feeling like there's nothing more i can say about that without actually seeing it. i was fine until you mentioned

fifty shades of grey bit. thank you very much. lovely to see you. thanks for being with us and enjoy all your cinema—going this week, whatever it is you choose to go and see. have a good week. see you next time. bye— bye. hello, it has been a week in contrast. for england and wales, plenty of sunshine. it has been feeling warm if not hot, but some changes to come. slowly we start to lose the heat. it will feel fresher for all of us by day and night. the increasing chance of showers, particularly midweek onwards. it is sunshine that we will see as we go into monday. this area of high pressure continues across england and wales and we keep this right
