it is phew! let's weekend beckons, it is phew! let's see how we are on mondayjust time [10w see how we are on mondayjust time now to look at the new releases to hit our screens. hello and welcome to the film review here on bbc news. taking us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. what delights do you have for us this week? very interesting week, we have the latest in thejk rowling is wizard world, fantastic beasts: the crimes of grindelwald. we have a remake of a horror classic and we have a documentary about the intersection of art and commerce. so, fantastic beasts: the crimes of

grindelwald, how do we pronounce it? are you a harry potter fan? grindelwald, how do we pronounce it? are you a harry potterfan? up grindelwald, how do we pronounce it? are you a harry potter fan? up to a point of. 0k. there is some question about weather or not if you had not kept up with the expanding harry potter wizard in kept up with the expanding harry potter wiza rd in universe, kept up with the expanding harry potter wizard in universe, how much of this you would follow. it follows on from the previous one, obviously. essentially he was imprisoned at the beginning and there is a fantastic escape sequence, beginning and there is a fantastic escape sequence, he beginning and there is a fantastic escape sequence, he goes beginning and there is a fantastic escape sequence, he goes to europe to spread his message, grindelwald, meanwhile,, to spread his message, grindelwald, meanwhile, , and redman‘s character... but stumbled or is conflicted, here is a clip. why can't you go? i cannot move against grindelwald, it has to be you.”

can't blame you. in your shoes i would probably refuse, too. it is late, good evening. no. come on. dumbledore... dumbledore. .. so, it is dumbledore... so, it is an odd one, on the one hand, i like this world, i like these characters and i was somebody who was very much seduced either harry potter cinematic world because the first films i wasn't crazy about and then i kind of felt into them later on. one of the issues with this is, and this was something which was true of the star wa rs something which was true of the star wars prequel, because the world that has been created is so big and expansive, when you start telling this story from this perspective, there is an awful lot of detail and

plot and characters and threads and ido plot and characters and threads and i do feel that there are times that this gets lost in its own back story, in its own thread in the narrative together. that said, there isa narrative together. that said, there is a strange tonal mix, on the one hand you get moments of slapstick comedy, which we have always had in the harry potter movies, there are times when you have spectacular set pieces, great big visual effects, set pieces, huge things happening on screen set pieces, huge things happening on screen in a way which is rather delightful. you also get a return to hogwarts, which which was a moment where you could hear people in the cinema enjoying that. and there is also a lot of darkness in the same way that there was with the deathly hallows films and i think some of it works, some of it gets confused and tied up in its own back story and logic. however it does come together in what is kind of the third act, when all of these things about the central character, who is somebody who is basically spinning lies and

deceit and has this area and philosophy of pure blood produce something which has run all the way through the stories and this is tied in with the politics of the era in a way which looks like it is setting us way which looks like it is setting us upfor way which looks like it is setting us up for something very interesting in the next film and again that is one of the weaknesses of this, quite a lot of it felt like getting everything in the right place so that the next instalment can do something really interesting. i mean if you are a fan of this world has no question people will go to see it, there are very good things in it, there are very good things in it, some nice performances and touches, i did feel it not lost in its own exposition, there was almost too much plot fighting the space. and there are times when it lacked that central clear line which you need through this kind of narrative. but by the time we got to the end of it, it had gathered it altogether, 0k, find, it, it had gathered it altogether, ok, find, now i'm 3a the next instalment — that is going to be quite a way of. there is going to be quite a way of. there is going to be quite a way of. there is going to be quite a few more! there will be,

yes. this one, supernatural horror, is that the right catheterisation? quick primer, in the ‘70s, dario moved into suspense and horror and this was a huge hit, everything was very stylish american dancer comes to europe, enrolls at a dance academy where she uncovers secrets. da kota academy where she uncovers secrets. dakota johnson comes to europe in this one, enrolls in the academy, it is set in divided berlin and she goes to a dance academy where she u ncove i’s goes to a dance academy where she uncovers witchy secrets. but this one is pretty much an hour longer than the argento phocion. in this one there is a verbose feeling of

explaining everything. there are individual things in this which are very good, the dance numbers are evocative horror dance numbers in the same way that the film climax had evocative dance numbers. but when i watched suspiria by dario argento, there was no point when i was thinking, this is great but what it really needs is an hour of people holding forth about the politics! also, the dario argento one alludes to its time and setting whereas this one is very specifically set and there is a lot of stuff about what is going on in the news! and the weird thing is that if, like me, you area weird thing is that if, like me, you are a horror fan, weird thing is that if, like me, you are a horrorfan, you will think, the dario argento was pretty much untouchable and what this has done is demonstrate that there are interesting things you can do with that idea, but i'm not sure that weighing it down with all this padding and baggage is actually to anyone's benefits. however, i do know a couple of people who have seen know a couple of people who have seen it and said, well, i think it's

the masterpiece that the dario argento version never was. they are wrong but it is an interesting if utterly flawed opinion! they are wrong but it is there a valid opinion! push they have every right to be completely wrong! you're so generous! it's not about being generous, it's about being right! the next one a document tree, the price of everything. yeah, which leads us very nicely into this. it employs the price of everything and the value of nothing. it is a documentary about how we now live in a world in which a art commerce is this multibillion—dollar industry and in which modern art sells for millions and millions, not old masters but modern art, which is being made now, selling the millions... speaking of that, we have been reporting on bbc news that a david hockney has sold at auction for £70 million and that is the

highest value for a work by living painter. wow. in a way that makes this all the more timely because at the beginning of this, you see this montage of auctions in which huge amounts of money are going... we hear from artists and auctioneers and dealers, collectors and investors, about what it is that they are doing and what it is that they are doing and what it is that they are doing and what it is that they are investing in. and the thing i like about the documentary is, it's notjudgemental, it's not saying you can't possibly talk about artand saying you can't possibly talk about art and commerce because the two things are bound up. at one point it says, all of this money is making people make more sun, and stop complaining about it! then there is the question of supply and demand, if there is more of it, is it worthless 7 if there is more of it, is it worthless? then there is the people who wanted to go somewhere where it can be seen by the public — here is a clip. so, you want your work in museums. museums are for the lack of

a better word the gatekeepers of culture, to some extent. once you cross the threshold you are walking in and you're thinking, these are works that matter, notjust in and you're thinking, these are works that matter, not just for our generation but for future generations. so maybe things happen andl generations. so maybe things happen and i fall out of favour in a number of years, but someday, maybe in 50 years, maybe in 70, maybe in 150, it could come out, it doesn'tjust vanish. what i know about art would not fill the back of a postage stamp but i was really gripped by these debates about, how can you say that this painting is worth this much money and how is it that this has now become an investment strategy? ifan now become an investment strategy? if an artist isn't actually making the work of art, can they still put their name on it? i thought it was witty and fascinating and i came out of it thinking i knew more than i did when i went in but i was entertained throughout. speaking of

entertainment, best out at the moment? yeah, they have reissued what was a brilliant film, 9to5. it still holds up and it has a very strong feminist message but it is funny and he has characters you can root for and i can't wait to go back and see it again in the cinema. and best dvd? this one is out on dvd and i was never a bros fan... i bet you were! assen, i liked showaddywaddy so were! assen, i liked showaddywaddy soi were! assen, i liked showaddywaddy so i have no shame in pop music! but this documentary made me really like them. it is part spinal tap, part sibling rivalry and it is also a story of the fans got out of loving bros, it's very funny and very, very funny and! bros, it's very funny and very, very funny and i thought it was touching. mark kermode, secret bros fan, even though he won't admit it! quick reminder before we go that you will

fog, there will be some tricky travelling conditions with poor visibility on some of the roads and also the cloud, the kenneth to bring some drizzle with it. edgewise, we're looking at lows of between seven—12. in the highlands of scotland, if we keep these clear skies for a length of time overnight it will be. put in since patches of frost in the countryside. for the weekend, pressure building across the uk and also we are going to get drierair the uk and also we are going to get drier air moving the uk and also we are going to get drierair moving in the uk and also we are going to get drier air moving in from france. these two factors will attack the cloud just noticed across the midlands, east anglia and the south—east of england, white quickly on saturday morning we will see some sunshine working in and you can see how the cloud continues to break up as we go through the dangerous a fresh easterly wind making it feel chilly. some sunshine for scotland, however, with this sapling spending longer over the north sea, the cloud

will be reluctant to break up over eastern areas. temperature—wise, coming down close to normal for the time of year. for the second half of the weekend, a lot of dry weather as well. probably more sunshine to go around. less cloud for northern ireland and western scotland. however come we have a major arctic outbreak working into northern europe this weekend and that colder air is going to come over towards oui’ air is going to come over towards our shores next week. by the time we get to next wednesday and thursday, those temperatures will be diving offa those temperatures will be diving off a cliff and it will feel like winter has arrived a bit early for the time of year. it's going to feel really, really cold, especially in the context of the mild autumn that we have had. leading brexiteers pledge support for the prime minister. do you have confidence

in the prime minister, mr gove? i absolutely do. i think it's absolutely vital that we focus on getting the right deal in the future and making sure in the areas that matter so much to the british people we can get a good outcome. stephen barclay is appointed brexit secretary and amber rudd returns to the cabinet at work & pensions. but more conservative backbenchers have written no confidence letters today — we'll have the latest from westminster and brussels. also this evening: more than 600 people are now missing in northern california, as the scale of wildfire devastation becomes apparent. a woman who says she was groped by a leading member of the house of lords tells the bbc it's a disgrace he
