the spider—verse, an animation which, given its origins, makes perfect sense. absolutely. it brings together a series of different spider—man, spider—men, spider people, from all the different universes. focuses largely on a central character of miles morales, who is bitten by a spider while doing spray paint graffiti, and he develops spider powers which he doesn't know what to do with. initially, he thinks they're puberty. the next thing he finds himself in a world with lots of other spider people showing him the ropes, pun intended. here's a clip. 0h. act supernormal. selecting a bagel. spider—man? you know, that's funny. i get that a lot. hey! he's got the bagel! all right, time to swing, just like i taught you. when did you teach me that? i didn't. it's a little joke, team building. all right, you ready? of course i'm not ready! whoa!

i can't do this yet! everybody knows that the best way to learn is under intense life—threatening pressure. 0w. uh—oh. target‘s been spotted. what are you doing down there? i run better than i swing. you've got to swing, or they'll catch you. this is what you wanted. i thought it was really good fun. what i like about it is, if you're a comic book fan, you'll be used to the idea of several different incarnations of the same character. also, if you're a movie fan, we've seen at least three different versions of spider—man in the last 10—15 years. what this does is it takes all those different versions and throws them together in the same universe and has fun with them

in the same world. i liked it because firstly, it looks great. it's really well done, the animation, it owes an awful lot to the original comic book sources. the film—makers said they wanted every frame to look like it was torn from a comic book, which it does. it's really funny, i mean the jokes really hit home. but it's really moving. there're a lovely thing, the whole thing about spider—man is that it's about an outsider and this is a group of outsiders all of whom are outside their own world, trying to find their place in it. i think young audiences can enjoy it as well as older audiences. i'm 56 and not a huge comic books fan, certainly not a spider—man aficionado, but i laughed all the way through and found it really moving. really enjoyable. some superhero films can get too dark and self—importa nt. this looks like it avoids that. there is underlying substance to it. i mean it is about something, somebody finding their own place in the world, but it hasn't got that brooding, everything's black and grey and grim. it's really good fun. i saw it with a paying audience and it went down terrifically well, the jokes were all hitting home.

but the bits that were meant to be moving were doing so as well. nobody was more surprised than me by how much fun was and i really liked it. second, mortal engines, based on a book by philip reeve. yes, which i haven't read. the story is it's a post—apocalyptic world in which cities have basically got up and are walking around fighting each other. so we meet london, the whole of london with st paul's and bits of stuff that you recognise, chasing after other cities. the principle that drives it is called municipal darwinism. this is produced and co—written by peterjackson of the lord of the rings movies, so you kind of expect it is going to look spectacular and have really arresting stuff in it. i think at its very best it has hints of studio ghibli cartoons like laputa or howl's moving castle, and a bit of terry gilliam and jeunet and caro. at its worst, it is transformers

with towns, it is big cities hitting each other. the problem is, although it's visually spectacular, the script feels very lumpen. the characters don't really get much chance to develop. one character called shrike comes in, strikes a nerve, and you think, "here we go." here's a character with an with an arc and development and he changes and things happen to him. the minute he's off screen, it's much less interesting. it's almost like the spectre of the cities themselves. it's a lot of ideas, many of which you recognise from otherfilms, bolted together and kind of lumping around the screen for a couple of hours. and there are interesting things in it, but i have to say it is a shambolic movie. i did find a lot of it, a lot of the time watching it thinking, i wish the story was as good as what i'm looking at. spectacular visuals are neverjust enough. you need to have substance underneath. the synopsis i read seemed slightly implausible, but then again... i don't mind implausibility. i just want it to have emotional sense. that's the think i thought it lacked.

lizzie is our third film. if i say the name lizzie borden, what do you think? i don't think anything. lizzie borden took an axe and gave her mother a0 whacks. have i let you down? no, you're the second person today to say that. simon mayo said the same thing. i'm in great company. lizzie borden was the central suspect in a murder case in 1872 that inspired a ghoulish nursery rhyme. this is now chloe sevigny and kristen stewart starring in a film about lizzie borden. chloe sevigny is lizzie, who lives in a house under the tyrannical rule of her father, who is really, really horrible in the film, and a hated stepmother. kristen stewart is the maid, bridget, who is immediately told her name is maggie now she works in the house. they form a shared bond that is sparked initially by their loathing of the father figure. here's a clip. sorry this is happening to you. i'm ashamed to be his daughter. i've been lying to myself for so long now.

telling myself that things will get better. it won't, will it? not ever. pigeons c00 why are you kind to me? so, what's the relationship like between those two? because i've read certain reviews that say the dynamic between the two actors is fantastic. it is. i think what's interesting about the film is ijust imagined everybody knows a version of this story and i'm

finding out more and more that that's not true. the film seems to imagine you already do, that this is a story where nobody is quite sure what happened in the case. what the film does is it imagines a version of events, it looks like it's inspired by a version of events from an ed mcbain novel. it develops this relationship between these two central characters and then works out a dynamic that seems to make sense within the context of the movie. whether it's true or not, nobody knows, but it makes sense within the movie. we were just talking before about the very, very different film, mortal engines. i don't mind invention and fantasy in and of itself, but it has to make sense. i thought this really did. you can see from the clip it's really low—key. you can feel the electricity in the air. very, very good performances. it reminds me of the movie lady macbeth, about a character trapped within a house. the house felt really claustrophobic, like a prison, and you get a sense of that in this. that inside the house everything is stifling and outside the house it's a very, very

different atmosphere. i thought it was a very interesting, low—key film. clearly not for everybody. the thing that surprises me most, i thought it was a film that was saying 0k, you all know this story, and here's a different version of it. but it turns out that's not true at all. no, not at all. i would have to swot up on it before going to see it. the best out, the old man and the gun. i love this. are you going to go and see it? i am going to go and see it. i just thought it was fabulous. you've heard all the stories that robert redford has said it might be his last film. who knows whether it will. but if it is his last, what a fabulous note to go out on. it's based on a true story, he plays an old bank robber, part of a group called the over the hill gang. it's him and his relationship with sissy spacek, looking back on his life, that becomes an anthology of robert redford's screen career. he's wonderful. the supporting performances are great, there's a brilliant supporting performance from tom waits, the musician turned actor.

i think he's great. if you are robert redford, this would be the point where you go, i'm top of the tree, thank you, i will step away. i will look forward to it. i don't go to the cinema often enough. do go and see this. you will love this. the best dvd this week? they shall not grow old is now out on dvd. there was a lot of attention to this around armistice day. i think it's extraordinary. they've ta ken this ioo—year—old footage from the great war. peterjackson, who produced mortal engines, and co—wrote it, this is what he's done brilliantly here, he's tanen this old footage and used computer graphics and special effects to make it look like it was shot yesterday. it's like you're in the trenches with the faces of these very young soldiers from 100 years ago literally looking like they're right in front of you. he's added soundtrack and they got lip readers in to read what's being said. i tell you, the effect is really extraordinary. it's like the film leaps into life. it's quite startling when it first happens, quite remarkable. but it's very moving and i think of the two peterjackson products we have around at the moment, this is the one to pay attention to.

i've put it down to go and see that as well. mark, thank you. lovely to see you. you too. 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 of our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week, though. thanks for watching. goodbye. hello there. this weekly going to find a weather coming in from the atla ntic find a weather coming in from the atlantic in between two areas of rain, monday is going to start quite chilly. there may be a touch of frost year and then the risk of some icy patches as well. overnight rain, it should be decent day for many central and eastern areas. dry, lots of sunshine around and lighter winds as well. the west, the winds are going to be strengthening, the cloud increasing in the outbreaks of rain
