to keep the new tradition going despite the recent bad weather. we have been worried. this time last week, it was supposed to rain all day for the summer solstice so we have been lucky with the weather. when we got up this morning, it has been brilliant blue skies, not a cloud in the sky and to be able to see the whole sunrise and hopefully see it set again tonight. we want to give back to the community. everyone here is coming for a good time. giving back for our customers and a bit different with the lido and it is great to do as much as we can. about a0 people made the effort to come watch the sunrise this morning with another 20 excited to watch the sunset this evening. for those that did brave the early morning swim, though, and a hearty english breakfast to warm them once they finished their laps. for the rest of us, the hope the summer solstice may signal the start of some

prolonged sunny spells. now on bbc news it's time for the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have this week? we have brightburn, which is a horror movie meets superhero, we have toy story 4, a trilogy no more, and the flood, a moving drama about the refugee crisis. something for all the family.

brightburn is like a dark superman. 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 lands 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! out of here!

stop! you saw all the references to superman, the kid's initials, 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 with a 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 are 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 a son and now they have one, but there is a secret in his past. elizabeth banks is terrific as the mother who just wants to look after her son and 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 not a big comic book fan, but i knew enough to understand where 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 the 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 familiar and making it scary and challenging. sounds intriguing. 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? i went in with a heavy heart and thought we were retreading 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 cleaners which then becomes animated but thinks it is trash and there is 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 trepidatious 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 and 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 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 admit by the end, we did need another one. i really thought we didn't. i was wrong to be trepidatious. i don't think i've used that word before! i've probably made it up! if you have come it is now in the dictionary. if you have, it is now in the dictionary. the flood is about an immigration officer who gets a high—profile asylum case. this is a topical story with refugees and asylum seekers. lena headey is an immigration officer who has a reputation for being hard—nosed, she's heard lots and lots of stories but she is unmoved by them and what her 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 passed 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 is she gets presented

with a 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 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 has 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 story 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 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? i 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, vicki knight 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 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 1970s, but with harry potter special effects. a modern day kid finds 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 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 end on! mark, thank you very much indeed. that's it for this week. thank you for watching.

hello. for many of us is been a decent summer and about, plenty of sunshine for most of us and dry weather at long last. it doesn't get much better than this. in cumbria, some find sunshine and filling pleasa ntly some find sunshine and filling pleasantly warm. over weeks and hours, the fairweather class we had during the day has been melting away so we during the day has been melting away so we have increasingly clear skies overnight across england and wales, and at times northern ireland and scotland, the only real exception is across the northern aisles were in shetland we will see passing showers and stay quite recently and perhaps later in the night you can see more cloud working across northern ireland into western scotland. not a cold night, temperatures six to 12 celsius, and the start of the weekend is looking promising. the reason is a area of high—pressure moving across the british isles.

something we haven't seen for the whole of the month ofjune. that means weather—wise, we start off with sunshine across england and wales and that is the way it will stay pretty much all day. patsy cline a time for another ireland and scotla nd cline a time for another ireland and scotland but mostly fine with spells of sunshine, the northern aisles could see a few passing showers and it will remain quite breezy. temperatures are rising. turning warmer and of 19 degrees and quite widely for england wales, temperatures moving on into the low 20s. the second half of the weekend isn't looking quite so good. although the high pressure is there, the low pressure to the southwest will start to cause a few problems. initially during the morning it should be dry with 80 spells of sunshine but high cloud in the sky, and it will start to feel increasingly humid. as temperatures rise up to 2a degrees, but you cannot help but notice this area of rain. through sunday afternoon, and into the evening time, we will see

some potentially torrential fund every downpours are form across england and wales, the amount of rain we get will vary a lot from place to place, but in the wettest area, causing localised flooding given the rain will come to heavily bus up and it could be even worse for the hills of scotland. we could get have 200 mm of rain. next week, very hot and humid for some of us. temperatures could push into the 30s while for others the threat of thing every downpours brings the threat of localised flooding issues. that is your weather.
