you did do the big conveyor belt, i thought you missed it last time! hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's releases is mark kermode. good to see you again. what have you been watching? very exciting week. we have first man, a film about the moon landing. mandy, a hallucinogenic horror thriller, with nick cage, which i'm not going to get you to try and watch that. wow. and bad times at the el royale, a kind of mystery retro thriller. first man, one of the big films of the week.

i really liked it. it's the la la land director and his leading man ryan gosling, telling the story of neil armstrong's moon landing. it is a picture of space exploration and it's not the kind of elegant dance of the stanley kubrick 2001. this is a nuts and bolts and rivets affair in which we are made very aware of the fact these are people trying to do things in flying tin cans, that danger and death lurks at every corner. here's a clip in which we see our hero attempting to try out a prototype lunar module. here we go. 1,000 feet. switching to lunar mode. landing approach. you're too low, climb.

slow your rates. do you read? neil? panting i've just winced all the way through that. on a very big screen that would look terrific. the whole film attempts to put you in the position of the pilots and astronauts seeing this stuff rushing by from inside a tin can orfrom that module. 0n the one hand it is a very practically involving film about the nature of space.

obviously it owes a debt to the right stuff. test pilots. however, in the same way that jaws isn't a film about sharks, this isn't a film about moon landing. this is a film about grief and loneliness. 0ur central character, neil armstrong, is almost pathologically introverted and unable to express his emotions. the way the film tells the story is he is basically living in the shadow of loss — he has lost his young daughter. when the time comes to speak to his sons, he has to be forced by his wife, brilliantly played by claire foy. it's almost as if what he's doing is he's looking toward outer space to look toward inner space. he's trying to find redemption. at the very beginning, we see him almost flipping a test plane out of the earth's atmosphere, and the suggestion is that he's a danger to himself because he is haunted by grief. the film takes this very practical space travel story, but turn it into a kind of metaphysicaljourney. and a story you think you know.

absolutely. which everybody has archetypal memories of the images that came back from the moon. i thought it was really beautifully done. i think gosling's performance is terrific because it is so insular. we need claire foy there to lead us into the emotional world, otherwise it would become alienating. it is shot interestingly. they used 16mm for the intimate stuff, 35mm for the nasa industrial stuff, and then horizontal 65 imax for the moon sequences. the film evolve as the story evolves. the score uses a theremin, an electronic instrument that was famously used in the 1950s science—fiction films. bernard herman used it in the day the earth stood still. it is this lonely sound. loneliness is the key to it. if you expect an action movie you're not going to get that. although you will get the feeling of being in the spaceship and encountering that danger. superb use of silence. i'm looking forward to it massively. unlike your second choice. if you're not recommending it to me,

in your little way that you try to convince me to see horror films, then i'm quite worried. i've been told the images in this are not necessarily that pleasant. people might want to be aware of that. it is a hallucinogenic horror movie, starring nicolas cage. it had a retro ‘80s vibe. nick cage at his most nick cage. he is a logger living with his partner who draws graphic novel style, heavy metal, sci—fi inflected images, they are abducted by a manson—esque cult and this sparks a trail of increasingly surreal vengeance. the best way of describing it is, there was a film some years ago which was a really strange horror movie that almost played out like a dreamy nightmare. this is very much like that. one the one hand it is a blood—soa ked fable, there is violence, chainsaw battles. i know that won't work for you! you are not selling it. but there is a certain section

of the horror audience who will love that stuff. what's most impressive is that's not what delivers the sucker punch, what makes it powerful is the feeling of trippy, awake, asleep, nightmarish atmosphere. very strange arty visuals. big throw—back vibe to it. if you're somebody who's interested in horror, i think it has a lot to offer. if you're not, and believe me, i do know that you're not, i wouldn't advise it as a first go in the water. we've laid the groundwork there. good. well, not good for me, but for anyone who likes horror. the third film, i have seen the trail several times and i cannot make head or tail of it. i have no idea what is going on. it looks completely bonkers. bad times at the el royale, i saw the trailer and i thought it didn't represent the film at all. it is by drew goddard who gave us cabin in the woods, it is another tale of a mysterious building which doesn't quite turn out what it seems to be. a bistate hotel that straddles the state line between california and nevada.

a misfit, motley crew all turn up, one of them is the vacuum salesman, another is a priest played byjeff bridges. here's a clip. i am very sorry to keep you waiting. damn, boy, where you been? been waiting in this lobby so long i could use a shave. what's wrong with you? i am very sorry. what are you doing here, father? do i know you, son? no, but i mean, this is not a place for a priest, father. you shouldn't be here. we might need to work on your sales pitch, son. the el royale — no place for a priest. there are other hotels, father. maybe closer to tahoe, i could help you find one. i'm sure you would be happier there. miles, is it?

if this is not a place for a priest, miles, then this is exactly where the lord wants me. from the trailer it looks like a zany interlocking story thing, certainly in terms of its structure. it has chapters, the chapters overlap, we see the same event from different perspectives and time periods. i thought it was actually rather deeper and darker than that. the reason it worked for me, it has some great performances. cynthia erivo is terrific as someone who is there as a singer who may have secret dreams. jeff bridges' character, we know he's not quite what he seems to be. as all of these forces draw together, we see how these stories interweave. i thought it was actually much more involving and engaging than i had imagined from the trailer which looked flippant and and a bit throwaway. it looked stylish but i didn't know what else. but empty. some of the reviews have said exactly that. but i didn't find it was. i thought the performances were really good. i found it engaging.

i love the way the knotty threads of the narrative continue to wrong foot you right up until the last ten or 15 minutes. it was moving in ways i didn't expect it to. yes, perhaps it's a little long, but i was really, really engaged in it. believe me, i went in thinking, 0k, this is going to be a couple of smart alec cinematic tropes. i thought it was much more than that. i know it hasn't had a great response from the critics but i think it is pretty decent. long, but not in a bad way. a star is born is your best out. i can't disagree with you. you just liked it more than me. you liked it up to a point and then you lost patience. i liked the first hour, and then ijust thought it tailed off. nigel floyd! —— you and nigel floyd.

i've now seen it twice, and i thought after the first hour it really picked up speed even more and the thing that i genuinely can't believe, i think bradley cooper is terrific, lady gaga is really, really good. the thing i can't believe is you didn't cry. i'm just grateful you're still talking to me because you looked so appalled because i didn't cry. it is so moving! did you also cry four times the second time you saw it? no, i cried twice. it is a narrative that works for me. somebody said, how does it end? i said, it's a star is born, that's how it ends! we'll leave that because i want to hear about your dvd choice. it sounds terrific. summer 1993, it is an interesting feature. it is basically a portrait of trauma as seen through the eyes of the child. the reason i want to flag it on dvd, this is a classic example of a movie which got very good reviews and a fairly limited release. if you didn't see it in cinemas, most people didn't, it is really well worth catching up with on dvd. check it out. it's a very, very touching piece of work. summer 1993, thank you.

i'll let you go and watch a star is born for the third time. happily! a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode. and you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. thank you for being with us. enjoy your cinema going, whatever you are up to. thanks for being with us. see you next time. bye bye. hello there. you'll be pleased to hear there are no storms in the forecast for this week, we're not going to reach the heady heights of 26 either mind you. our weather is slowly coming in from the atlantic, cloud arriving on tuesday, this cloud arriving on tuesday, this cloud contains former hurricane michael, breaking up and going to iberia and that's where most of the

cloud is coming from at the moment, giving us the rain in the east, still 15 flood warnings in england and wales and those flood warnings have been dropping during the day. colder in eastern england, the rain easing for a while but chunks of heavier downpours moving from the near continent, wetter from the midlands to lincolnshire, perhaps yorkshire and rain heading to wales and the west country. far north of england, scotland, northern ireland, clearer skies for a while and much colder here with temperatures not farfrom colder here with temperatures not far from freezing in eastern areas and the cloud will break with much more sunshine. cloudy in a good part of england and wales, the rain moves northwards and as it does it becomes lighter and we could get sunshine in the south—east, boosting the temperatures, around 18 perhaps. 13 01’ temperatures, around 18 perhaps. 13 or 1a nearer the mark even in the sunshine we see in scotland and northern ireland, but at least here it should be a pretty good day. welcome to newsday.
