welcome back to the cinema for the new year. we'll be going back to the last stuart court to marvel at olivia colman‘s award skipped performance as queen anne in the favourite, a restoration drama. another super woman pumping the courts of power under the lens, it's rbg who has been known for her battles for equal pay and sexism in the american supreme court. she is one of the last dissenting voices. and in welcome to marwen, barbie dolls, action and gijoe‘s help steve ca rell be dolls, action and gijoe‘s help steve carell be traumatised artist over his grief by blowing them up to life—size pictures. over his grief by blowing them up to life-size pictures. lets kick off with the favourite. it takes you back to the time hundreds of years

ago. i didn't live then! when eve ryo ne w0 re ago. i didn't live then! when everyone wore those extraordinary weeks! there is a bit of elton john, new romantic video. it's called the favourite and is quickly becoming an awards season favourite, certainly with olivia colman. i suspect it will feature heavily at the golden globes and the baftas. i suspect it will be a big hit. the star turn is from olivia colman as queen anne. we don't see much of her, to be honest, in period dramas. she's a lonely figure advised by lady marlborough whose husband is off fighting the wa i’s whose husband is off fighting the wars of spanish succession. she wa nts to wars of spanish succession. she wants to use her power over mnemonic to use her sway at court. she's the only person who can brutally honest olivia colman‘s monarch. i'm ready for the

russian ambassador. who did your make—up? we went for something dramatic, do you like it? you look like a badger. 0h. are you going to cry? really? well, what do you think you look like? a badger. do you really think you can meet the russian delegation looking like that? no. i will manage it. get back to your rooms. thank you. shouting: did you just look at me? did you? look at me! how dare you! close your eyes! it's brilliantly acted as you can

tell. i really enjoyed it. i wondered what it was about, is it about power getting to somebody‘s head, the capriciousness of power?|j think head, the capriciousness of power?” think when it was written it was about trying to get this special moment in royal history when the land was ruled by three women. it's about the vying of affections from this monarch from the upcoming emma stone, trying to get the affections of queen and from rachel weisz. it's set in hatfield house. there's a lot of... it's directed by a greek director and i think he brings a freshness, bawdiness and riskiness to the period drama. he is saying even though its 300 years ago, things haven't changed all that much in terms of the sexism, power and class struggle in british society. i think it's a sly dig at that,

otherwise it's a funny, bawdy romp. it also gets very dangerous and emotional. the performance from olivia colman is out of this world, i think she's going to win the oscar. great to see a film with all the lead parts played by women. the costu mes the lead parts played by women. the costu m es a re the lead parts played by women. the costumes are extraordinary. tell us more about rbg. she has become in recent times is a feminist icon, a liberal hero, self—styled superhero. they call her the notorious rbg after the rapper who was born in brooklyn, like ruth bader ginsburg. this documentary charts her career as a formidable lawmaker all the way from harvard law school where she was the only woman in her class, to where she now sits on the supreme court. she occupies one of nine places. she is still one of the dissenting voices. she's got fighting spirit, she

changed the workplace regulations of america and helped changed social history, fighting for sexual and racial equality in the workplace. it's been a long battle. she was appointed by president clinton in the 90s and she is still there at the 90s and she is still there at the age of 85. she's had a few ups and downs but it's important to the liberal voices in america that she holds that place because liberal america is under siege at the moment. she's seen as fighting back. she's made fun of by saturday night live, she's become a great figure. you can see what a twinkly figure she is but she's also very powerful. there is a wonderful bit where children say she was terrible in the kitchen, i never met a live vegetable until i was 11! years old. welcome to marwen in which an artist creates a miniature world, tell us about that. it might be the hardest film to describe. it doesn't compare to how awkward it is to watch.”

don't think you like it! steve ca rell don't think you like it! steve carell a winded artist and he has created a world war ii village in his garden in which he places barbie dolls and action figures. he photographs them and place them up to real size. he then falls in love with a ridiculously sympathetic neighbour played by leslie mann who gets a tour of this model village. something going on in the church? oh, yeah. you mind if i take a look? i love how everything is so cute. all the little flowers on the mailbox and these cute little curtains. it's just all the details... she gasps. oh, my god! what are they doing? who are they? they are nazis... ..torturing hogie. why?

they hate him. because he is an american? because he's different. well, what's going to happen to him? that's a complicated story. well, tell me. we never really get to the bottom of that which is half of the problem, plus be rather creepy portrayal of the sexual fantasies with these barbie dolls. it feels out of step. the film is directed by robertson a kiss who is one of the great technical innovators. —— robert zemeckis. it's rather interesting how it takes over the bruised artist's it and be dead. but it's either too painful to watch or to weird and creepy. we never wanted

this figure played by steve carell. i can't believe there wasn't a studio executive who said listen, robert zemeckis, let's stop this. welcome to marwen is welcome to the first great flop of 2019. big names get theirfilms made. first great flop of 2019. big names get their films made. it doesn't a lwa ys get their films made. it doesn't always work. what's best out at the moment? i'm going to say carry on the festive cheer with mary poppins returns. some people a bit nervous, they didn't change a lot, there's a lot of cockney londoners and songs about the lovely london skies and things still need sorting out at cherry tree lane. lots of animation. bright animation, all those songs, balloons and big ben at the climax. nothing has really changed. i struggle to see what the point of it was but i really enjoyed myself. i know some people have some people have an. people say the songs aren't as good. peoplejust

have an. people say the songs aren't as good. people just don't know them. there is one line that says it's a real pea souper... i think they get away with it quite charmingly and i wish them good luck at the golden globes. and best dvd? and other golden globe nominee and its spike lee's blackkklansman. its about a cop who infiltrates the ku klux klan with the help of his partner. this is slightly back on his funny, political, racially baiting provocative form which is exactly what you want. it's not a perfect film by normal people's means but full spike lee its ban on form and it's one of my favourites of the year. jason, thank you very much indeed. some good recommendations there. jason solomons. that's it for this week,

from us on the film review, thank you for watching and goodbye. it was a chilly day today and it's going to be a chilly night as well. a covering of cloud but only a thin duvet. temperatures are going to be dipping away, particularly where we've got the clear skies across the west cou ntry we've got the clear skies across the west country there will be some brea ks west country there will be some breaks as well for eastern scotland and the north—east of england, even with that cloud it's very thin and the temperatures won't be far away from freezing. you can see where we've got the coldest of the air, the lowest temperatures. the cloud filling in a bit through the day tomorrow. some sunshine at times, mainly for eastern scotland, north—east england down towards the wash. for most of us, quite a cloudy day on saturday. a dry day with temperatures struggling. a bit of rain comes in during the evening in

the north—west. that fades away on sunday but more sunshine for scotla nd sunday but more sunshine for scotland on sunday. cloudy elsewhere but temperatures a bit higher on sunday. on monday, wendy particularly across the northern half of scotland with the wind is gusting as high as 70 mph. there's no evidence say experts of it being harmful. but sleep, exercise, and family time must come first they say — and no screens an hour before bed. i take everything away at bed time. i take laptops, tablets, phones, awayjust because there's no kind of distraction. but some parents and campaigners are frustrated by the advice, and say there should be more support. also tonight — a man is stabbed to death in front of horrified passengers on board a train in surrey. this is the scene at horsley station now — police are searching for a murder suspect in the surrounding area. the arrest of a british national
