flood, a moving drama about the refugee crisis. brightburn is like a dark superman. it's a very strange film, it's produced by james gunn it's a very strange film, it's produced byjames gunn who made guardians of the galaxy. a couple are trying for a baby when an asteroid plans outside their home in kansas. several years later, they have an adopted son who they love very much and is hitting adolescents and starting to act up like all teenagers but meanwhile there are a series of increasingly weird and violent events playing out around this small town. here's a clip. come on! stupid piece of... 0k, time to go. nope? no! no! 0ut

come on! stupid piece of... 0k, time to go. nope? no! no! out of here! stop! stop! you saw all the references to superman, the kid's initials, eve ryo ne superman, the kid's initials, everyone thinks of clark kent. there are everyone thinks of clark kent. there a re lots of everyone thinks of clark kent. there are lots of individual elements which remind you of the superman story, it's like man of steel but the darker twist. there are also influences like carrie, a young girl with telekinetic powers. it also reminded me of an old episode of the twilight zone called it's a good life where a community and in fear

ofa life where a community and in fear of a child in control of everything but what is impressive is how well and how long it managed to sustain just being a drama about two parents who desperately want our son and now they have won but there is a secret in his past. elizabeth banks is terrific as the mother who just wa nts to terrific as the mother who just wants to look after her son and wa nts to wants to look after her son and wants to protect him despite the fa ct wants to protect him despite the fact that she knows he's not like other children. it's not for everybody, a couple of people came out of it saying, i didn't get that at all, but i liked the way it played with the superman mythology. i'm nota played with the superman mythology. i'm not a big comic book fan but i knew enough to understand when it was going and i thought it was strange and quirky and there were moments in it that were quite nasty and moments that were quite funny. i'd also say if you are really interested in a sideways glance at superman mythology, remember the old film punch—drunk love? that is an

allegory of superman as well so brightburn makes a good double bill with it. it's an intriguing idea, to turn a superman story on its head. 0ne turn a superman story on its head. one of the tag lines is, he's not here to save the world, and i like that. what if an adolescent had powers and what if it wasn't working out well? i like the fact it has horror elements, it has a super hero elements, but it also feels satirical and like it's unpicking something with which we are all familiarand making it something with which we are all familiar and making it scary and challenging the latest toy story, numberfour. challenging the latest toy story, number four. my problem in advance was that the original trilogy were perfect and the end of the third one is like the end of winnie the pooh when christopher robin says goodbye. a trilogy is never enough for hollywood! suddenly toy story 4 and

i thought, really? hollywood! suddenly toy story 4 and ithought, really? i hollywood! suddenly toy story 4 and i thought, really? i went in with a heavy heart and thought we were trading a certain amount of ground. the child goes to kindergarten and the toys are left in the cupboard but things pick up when the young child makes a new friend, literally makes a toy out of a spork and pipe clea ners makes a toy out of a spork and pipe cleaners which then becomes animated but thinks it is trash and there is an existential question, is it a toy oi’ an existential question, is it a toy or trash? then we meet up with an old acquaintance and suddenly the drama goes off into a whole different area and suddenly it found its feet again. i think what's interesting about toy story 4, nobody was more trepidations about it than me, was once it got going it had me laughing and crying like the first three but also of all the toy story films, this is the one that's actually about the toys. the toy story mythology is about children and parents in separation anxiety. this sounds pretentious but it was

closer to the kind of concerns of steven spielberg's ai in which the robot child wonders whether or not it isa robot child wonders whether or not it is a real boy, the pinocchio story. i thought it was original and unexpected, there were a good 20 minutes at the beginning when i thought it was retreading old ground but once it got going, i was back there and pixar cast their spell again. it's really funny and very moving and i laughed and i cried. i had met at the end, we did need another one. i really thought we didn't. i was wrong to be trepidations. i don't think i've used that word before! i've probably made it up! the flood is about an immigration officer who gets a high—profile asylum case. this is a topical story with refugees and asylu m topical story with refugees and asylum seekers. lena headey is an immigration officer who has a reputation for being hard—nosed, she

said lots and lots of stories but she is unmoved by them and what your superiors like about her is she is not sentimental, she is basically the person who will deal with things in an unemotional and rather callous way. here's a clip. if you pass through any other countries prior to your arrival, why did you not apply for asylum there? i don't know. when did you arrive in europe? i don't know. it was dark. let me help you out. where did you arrive in europe? greece.

she seems to be very cold and then what happens as gets presented with the case and she starts doing the same thing with him, she is told to process it quickly, but she starts to hear his story and then we start to hear his story and then we start to see his story of his journey and the trauma of his journey in flashback and we start to learn things about her that she has troubles in her own life, that she's getting divorced, is separated from her child and a drinking problem. she starts to see the story from the other side, she starts to feel empathy because up until this point she has been trying to avoid it. it reminded me of a film from 1990 called journey of hope. the subject matter is kind of different but the aim of the study was to make you see what the journey looks like from the other side and i think this actually manages to do that, occasionally the

drama isa manages to do that, occasionally the drama is a little too on the nose and contrived with how itjuggles its mirroring situations but i found myself very gripped by the performances, they are terrific and it's got a lot of heart and it's made with real commitment. i think it's also very technically well made, the way in which the music is used to distinguish flashbacks from stuff we are seeing in the present day, the way you can feel the two worlds are seeping into each other, i thought it was very intriguing and very moving. it reminds me of up in the air with george clooney where he flies around the united states sacking people and suddenly starts to feel empathy for the people he is a sacking. best out at the moment?” know it is playing in a small number of cinemas but it's a terrific movie about a woman who survived an acid attack and rebuild her life and it has a star making performance by vicki knight. in ten years' time, picking out will be part of the

furniture as far as acting is concerned. we will all know she is a very versatile actor. this is where it began. she is astonishing, she is a real star it began. she is astonishing, she is a realstar in it began. she is astonishing, she is a real star in the making. you heard it here first. best dvd? the kid who would be king. it reminded me of a children's film foundation movie which we used to get in the 19705 but with harry potter 5pecial effects. a modern day kid fine5 but with harry potter 5pecial effects. a modern day kid fines and oui’ effects. a modern day kid fines and our sword —— king arthur's sword. he has to get his enemies and bullies to reunite. i thought it was really enjoyable. it didn't do well in the cinema, i think it should have done better and i hope it will find a dvd audience. it's really charming and its message is, you know, we've all got tojust pull its message is, you know, we've all got to just pull together and work together and the young people are the future and we have faith in them. it's wonderful, it's a film

with its heart is really in the right place. not a bad message to endon! mark, thank you very much indeed. that's it for this week. thank you for watching. the weather showed quite a big sign of improvement today, a dry day with spell5 of sunshine of improvement today, a dry day with spells of sunshine and what a beautiful scene this is in cumbria, a bit ofa beautiful scene this is in cumbria, a bit of a fair weather cloud but plenty of june a bit of a fair weather cloud but plenty ofjune sunshine as well and this is how it has been across most of the uk, the cloud thick enough across northern scotland to give a few passing showers but otherwise it has been dry. overnight we will keep those clear skies for england and wales and much of northern ireland and scotland although we could see a little bit more cloud seeping in later in the night. all the while there will be more passing showers affecting shetland. overnight lows

of six to 12 celsius. this is how we start the weekend. i haven't shown you a chart like this before, it's an area of high pressure, the first one we have seen thisjune but that which brings us a fine start to the weekend with plenty of sunshine on ell across england and wales. patchy cloud at times for northern ireland at times —— on offer. still quite breezy with showers that time to time but there will be dry spells and sunshine as well. temperatures of 19 celsius in edinburgh and starting this weekend in england and wales, most areas will see temperatures into the low 205. our area of high pressure is influencing on sunday but this low pressure will start to cause trouble later in the day. sunday morning is probably dry for most of us with hazy spells of sunshine on offer. it will start to feel more humid across the south of england and southern parts of wales

with temperatures climbing, height of up to 2a celsius on sunday but through sunday afternoon, we start to see an area of thundery rain developing. this is going to bring quite a lot of rain in a short space of time. overjust a few hours we could see 20 to 50 millimetres, varying from place to place but through sunday night and into monday, the troublesome brain works northwards. over the mountains in scotland, we could be looking at up to 100 millimetres of rain with the risk of flooding. into next week, probably the hottest weather this year so far temperatures up to 31 celsius but for others, the threat of some torrential downpours and the threat of localised flooding so a bit of a mixed bag. good weather to come on saturday, dry for most of us. come on saturday, dry for most of us. we got thundery rain through sunday and into monday.
