"i‘fififfl uff‘azéfm 2: fit landfill as it is not end up in landfill as it is not currently recyclable. overall the choice of christmas tree as a relatively small impact on your annual carbon footprint, to give you annual carbon footprint, to give you a better idea, driving 12 miles produces as much greenhouse gas emissions as buying a natural tree. 154 miles if it ends up in landfill, if you get an artificial tree, that's roughly the equivalent of driving when miles, of course there are other factors they might want to consider when you buy a christmas tree. but in terms of environmental impact, we use for artificial trees arejust impact, we use for artificial trees are just two factors you might want to keep in mind. now on bbc news, the film review hello there and welcome to the film review here

on bbc news and taking us through this week's cinema releases have ever is marked. but he got for this week. a very good week, we the old man in the gun which may not be his performance on screen. or may not be his performance on screen. we have sorry to bother you, a socioeconomic satire which is a sundance hit. get off of me! back in the house. and white boy rick, a true story with a great cast. so the old man and the gun. robert, what is he, 82? he's 112, i think. i met him some years ago. you are a name dropper. iam. no, because i was really impressed, but the best thing about him is he looks like he's aged. he's weathered fantastically well. no botox. no, not as far as i can tell and he is described this as being, perhaps his last film he said this

is going to retire because he's been acting for such a long time. this is based on a true story about an american career criminal, perrenial jail breaker, so he is the old man of the title. who, with his accomplice in this, rob small banks. they do it in a way that is very low—key, very understated and somewhat polite. it's as if people do not notice it happening. and the law doesn't notice and start joining the dots for quite some time. here's the clip. hello. don't cry. what are you crying for? this is my first day. there's always a first time

for everything, isn't there? chin up. you're doing a greatjob. and he's doing a greatjob. he is! super sparkly, super twinkly and the film is shot using super 16 to give it that old retro feel. and what happens is he's committing these robberies with two accomplices, one played by danny glover, the other played by tom waits. and then he starts a relationship, and he takes her to a diner, she asks what do you do, if i told you, you would now if i told you, you would not want to be associate with me. so he sort of tells her that he's robbing banks and then he pretends that he's joking. so she kind of knows and she doesn't knows. and meanwhile, the detective is sort of starting to realise that all of these jobs from the over the hill gang up on the sort of similar mo and he starts to be on their tail.

what i loved about this film is that firstly, the performances are great and the chemistry is fantastic. you completely believe in them and they're really affectionately drawn, the way in which they talk and spend time each other is beautifully done. it's an ensemble cast, great work from the likes of tom waits and danny glover. the best thing is, kind of gotten special feel to it, of got a special feel to it, weeding back to butch cassidy and the sundance kid, we've seen him doing this before and that thejust some of that stuff from his back catalogue, very cleverly. i just thought it was lovely. really charming, it's got a bit of an edge to it and the whole thing about it is his character does the stuff because it's kind of in love with that. it's kind of addicted to it. why is he smiling all the time? because he seems to enjoy what he's doing. it's very gentle but

it's not fluff, it's very gentle but there is real substance to it and you really believe those characters and i thought it was wonderful. i smiled the whole way through. it is his last film, it's a fitting tribute to a great film career. yeah, and never say never, you know, the fact is i'm sure he'll have a but it would be a great note to end on, it is such a great film. sorry to bother you. it is basically this kind of surreal satire, set in an alternative present oakland. there is a young man who is struggling for rent, he takes a job as a telemarketer and he is told by danny glover, who was his workmate, your problem is you need to use your white voice. he says, what's that? the white voice that sounds relaxed and casual sounds relaxed and casual and as the voice which your callers think that they want to sound like. he does this in suddenly he starts climbing up the latter which puts him at odds with his friends that are going on strike.

what the whole film is about is on one hand it is a satire about capitalism and modern slavery and the story about selling out and when you sell out, what you lose and what everyone around you loses. it is very funny, but it ships slowly during the course of the movie from being a satire, into something that is much more surreal, it's starts to drift into the territory of a horror and science fiction inflections. do you think of something like, oh lucky man, the film that starts off as a tea salesman, but then becomes really weird. or, there is a film by brian yuzna, but they went to seen society and they loved it, this is very much on the same wavelength. some say they can't take the shift in tone, but i thought he was executed consistent. read from the beginning, that's a very strange surreal twist in tone to it, very funny, but assertive, but it was really good. white boy rick which is the story of a teenager who became an undercover informant for the fbi. apparently, the fbi‘s youngest informant at the age of 14 in the early 80s.

so, which was such a beautiful film of that period. and here to have him as the kid, matthew mckay as his father, his grandparents and at the beginning we are introduced to them as a kind of disparate, dysfunctional family on the streets of detroit. here's a clip. dad! oh, christ. keep going, i've got it under control. you don't need to stop the car, everything is fine, don't get out of the car. everything is not fine! a man just ran out of your house, you don't have a damn thing under control! i hate you! i've got this under control! ain't under control! it looks like richard is having a bad day. no mum, i'm not having a bad day. my son and i walked to the lions den walked out with the golden fleece. ain't that right, ricky? that's right.

you're pathetic! both of you! and put some clothes on, will you? we're going for custard! i love matthew. such a good actor. that whole ensemble, its out—of—control exec think it's great. for 71, brilliant implication of 70s, close to the 1980s detroit. the story is one of crime and guns and drugs, but what is primarily interesting is the family and the fact of the very beginning we are introduced to the young kid going into a gun show with his father and he is very much learned the ropes from his dad and passed on the skills, but these skills get them into a lifestyle which is very wracked with danger and misery. and what i liked about it was the film has a very kind of strange noodling field to the narrative. it is based on a true story. but you find yourself being more involved in the interrelationships between the characters than the actual gun sales in the drug sales so that sort of thing.

terrific as the fbi see him on the street and think, we can use them. it's also very interesting and it takes a family with a dunk abuse very sort of talk of an accident with some pews very sort of talk of an accident if the characters are sympathetic. you do see the world from their point of view, there is one point recess to some, we have to do something. look at the way we live. he says crash the car. we have to do something to get out of this. it's not for everybody, it will struggle to find an audience, but that was pretty impressive. and that the use of a good director. best out at the moment. well, still shoplifters which is a film that was a prizewinner at cannes. and again, a story of people living in the margins of society in tokyo and again, it begins with what you think of the father and son, the father teaches the son shoplifting, why do you teach them to shoplift? because it's what i know.

that's what i do and it very human and i really liked it, again ijust think about spending tonnes of characters about spending time with characters that you believe in. i thought it was a really good film with a very dark heart to it. i enjoy disobedience, which you recommended. yes, it's great. terrific performances but the accident, but the accent, you're not entirely sold on. variable. but overall, it was really good. it again, very difficult subject to put on film, and i thought they were completely convincing. i absolutely in traffic as well. i absolutely believed in them as well. well worth a watch. best dvd. mission impossible fallout, the thing is, who knew the mission impossible series is just when you get better and better? and... how many have there been by the way? ..i think seven now, but the thing about this is, it is not ironic. it is a proper nuts and bolts edge of your seat, action thriller and it's got fantastically executed set pieces but what i really like about it, it's very modern the way it's shot. it feels very physical and oddly old—fashioned for all its modern trappings and i just

thought it was terrific. it moves like a bullet and it's a really good film and tom cruise is great in that role. i know he's not for everything and not for everyone, but he's really good in that role and he has seen this franchise from strength to strength. he's hurt himself so badly doing all the stunts. the stunt in which he hurt himself is in the film, and because he seen so much behind the scenes footage, we see it in the film, you feel the pain. mark, thank you very much. a quick reminder before we go you'll find more film news and reviews from across a bbc bbc.co.uk/ mark kermode. you can find her you can find our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that is it, thank you so much and goodbye from us. good evening. it has been a pretty

u nsu btle good evening. it has been a pretty unsubtle day, stormy in the far north of the country but things are starting to quiet down, albeit slowly. the area of low pressure sitting from the far north of scotla nd sitting from the far north of scotland he can see how many ice is on the southern flank close ear, so the wind is very much a feature of the wind is very much a feature of the next few hours we could see gusts of wind to 60 mph, and it's going to be a blustery and to friday certainly. and that is what bearing in mind, from the shower stranded fish that further east. relatively quiet night to come, so quite windy across england and wales, she isolated showers but temperatures holding up quite nicely, sing around five to 8 degrees. we start off our saturday morning on a slightly quieter note. the wind will be a feature in us to go through the morning, we will have plenty of showers in the west, sunday looking at the driest of days to the

weekend, but he could be a little cooler with the wind coming from the north, but on saturday, a quiet start but the early bird will get the best of the weather is the shower starts together, pushing in from the west and merging together with spells of rain, eastern areas seeing fewer showers and highest values of nine to 13 degrees, so it isa values of nine to 13 degrees, so it is a subtle change in the the weather, and that is because the wind is starting to push down from the north as we go through the night, we can see gusts of wind down the channel coast in the southwest 50 60, possibly even stronger and a rush of showers being driven down from the north of the country. so again, the first thing on sunday morning, we could see some showers across england and wales, we're not expecting in the last, to use away and a drier prater afternoon but an noticeable difference get in the field and the weather. six to 7 degrees and 11 degrees, getting colder as the day goes on. in actual

fa ct, colder as the day goes on. in actual fact, sunday night into monday morning, we keep those clear skies, a few scattered showers out of the west, but with those clear skies and here come the north, that will allow those temperatures to fall away in scotla nd those temperatures to fall away in scotland to the north of england, was the single figures it a touch of frost on the first thing i monday morning. with bearing in mind, it will be a chilly start to the new working week. this is bbc world news today. i'm tanya beckett. our top stories... facing fraud charges in america. a top executive from chinese telecoms giant, huawei, appears in court in canada, accused of breaching sanctions against iran. angela merkel‘s successor, germany's christian democrats choose her protege, annegret kramp, as her replacement. team trump picks william barr to be the new us attorney general — a job he last did 25 years ago. he'll oversee the russia investigation. there is no one more capable or more
