hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. 50, mark — what do we have this week? we have the dead don't die, it is a zombie movie but not a horror movie. so you are fine. 0k? good news. we have stuber which is an action comedy. and the brink, a documentary about steve bannon. the dead don't die. yes, 0k, it is a zombie movie but that is about the end of the horror. this is an ironic, kind of movie. this is byjim jarmusch. so we have two cops, adam driver and bill murray, who are driving around centerville which is a real nice place. then they start to think something weird is happening, there are news stories about the world being knocked off its axis by polar fracking.

daylight isn't ending when it should do. by the time they get to to the station, things are going severely wrong and the dead are coming back to life and walking the earth, not to the delight of everybody. here's a clip. guys... shouldn't we be telling each other that it's all going to be ok? like this will all go away like a bad dream? ronnie? gee, wendy, i'm not sure i can say that. cliff? please? it's all going to be ok, wendy. maybe it'll alljust go away... ..like a bad dream. i doubt it.

wendy cries. you were laughing all the way through that clip. who doesn't love bill murray? there's a lot to be said for him. individually, there are lots of funny and charming moments. there the undead and the deadpan. you have a cast which includes steve buscemi, tilda swinton wielding a samurai sword, iggy pop is on the search of good coffee. if you are a fan ofjimjarmusch, which i am, it often starts to feel like a greatest hits collection of quirks and jokes, there isn't anything you haven't seen before. you might see it as a sister picture to only lovers left alive. although, i think that is being kind to it. the weirdest thing about it is that it takes a lot of tropes from george romero's zombie movies, particularly the dead trilogy.

which i know you watch on hard rotation. each of which are about a specific thing, dawn of the dead is about consumerism. this sort of is seems to be saying, we are all consumers, and what we are looking for is wi—fi, zombies walking around looking for wi—fi. and it is, in passing, it is quirky and funny up, to a point. there is also a fourth wall breaking device, there is a song by sturgill simpson, it is on the carved and bill murray says why do i know the song? and adam driver says beacuse it's the theme song. and also how do you know this is going to happen? well, we have seen the script. there is a weird fourth wall breaking. what you think it is handily going to do something really interesting and magical and itjust doesn't. every now and then, it cuts back to tom waits who plays this sort of wild man who lives in the words and quotes henman melville. and does a lot of being tom waits with hair. you're in the film! that's my audition. tom waits is that the only

impression i can do. i wanted more. i think there are individual funny, quirky moments but itjust felt like — yeah... it seems to me like you're saying it doesn't quite hold together. yeah. like the zombies, it doesn't go anywhere itjust wibbles around and then falls over. wibble! i love that! it's like doctor who, or something. let's move to the second film, which i haven't seen, but i like the premise. kumail nanjiani and dave bautista in a comedy. i think kumail nanjiani is really funny, he was so great in the big sick. he is an assuming uber driver. dave bautista is a law enforcement agent, who due to a complicated plot contrivance, there is a bad guy he has been trying to get for ages. he has a laser surgery, therefore he can't see. he knows where the bad guy will be. he has to get an uber

driver to help him out. so they are thrown together like a sort of odd couple buddy cop movie. in which one of them is an uber driver. i think kumail nanjiani's always funny, he does get the maximum laughs. he isjust an uber driver driving an electric car. the problem is, it is not really enough for the film. also they have a brilliant martial arts performer who is never really given the chance to shine. so in the end it comes down to whether you find kumail nanjiani and dave bautista sparking off each other. dave bautista plays the whole thing like a short—sighted bear with a sore head, which is a joke that lasts around 15—20 minutes. afterwards it starts to kind of... again, a talent that i wanted more. i will confess that i did laugh four or five times and all of those laughs were because ijust find kumail nanjiani just funny.

number three is very much a documentary but this has a regular cinema release? yes, documentaries are now a very important part of cinema. so this is directed by alison klayman, it is a documentary about steve bannon. and what steve bannon did having gone out of the white house for complicated reasons and is now going around the world trying to drum up support for his own personal, populist nationalist revolution movement. in doing so, we see him, inserting with a rogues gallery of people, people with links to far—right groups, on the other hand, opportunist millionaires — and nigel farage. if you're interested, what i like to do is set up something — and i'll fund it somehow — and i think you're the perfect guy. we help knit together this populist nationalist movement throughout the world. because guys in egypt are coming to me, the modi guys in india, duterte.

you know, and we get orban, and... we are somehow some sort of convening authority for conferences and stuff like that so we get ideas out... i mean, you think that's a worthwhile thing? it's, yeah... nobody's got it, nobody is doing it right now. it's not being done. the reason that we are going to beat corbyn and sanders is they're not prepared to take on the powers that be. we're fire breathers, i mean, we're taking on the establishment every day. you've taking on at the tory party, i'm taking on the republican party. they don't have that... and that's why we can steal a march on them. and the reason they don't want to do it — it's immigration. as long as they don't take on... theyjust refuse to take on immigration, we're prepared to take it on. yes. it's a global revolt. "we're fire breathers and we're taking this on." the thing is, the documentary doesn't do is interrogate them at all, it is a fly—on—the—wall documentary.

it's like spending time in his mind. the film—maker had very good access. yeah, great access. in a way, it is left to journalists who we see actually challenging bannon. great interventions from paul of the guardian and others who do actively challenge him, talking about charlottesville, affiliations to people who are appallingly racist and extremist views. and what those sections do is remind you of the importance of good journalism, ofjournalists who are willing to raise the hard questions, willing to integrate and ask things that are difficult. do you really need to be interested in the minutiae of us politics to enjoy it as a film? ‘enjoy‘ is a strange word because i found it very hard company to be in. i respect the film—maker's decision to literally stand back and let people have their say. give them enough rope, let them say what they want. obviously, there are moments in the documentary which do cause an intake of breath in which people say things which are quite outrageous but the documentary is very keen to just stand back and say, judge it yourself. which i did.

anyone who follows you on twitter can imagine how you judged it. let's talk about best of the week. well, this film, which is out in cinemas, and it's not a really wide release, but it's never look away and it's a film by florian henckel von donnersmarck, who made lives of others. i think it is a very smart film. it is inspired by, but not based on, the life of gerhard richter. the artist. yeah, the artist. it's a film about ways of seeing, that is kind of talking about quite complicated artistic ideas but wrapped up in a melodrama that goes through various subsections of history — from the war and then from fascism to communism to the west and what's interesting about it, on the one hand, it's a very mainstream, very accessible film of a love story and a mystery. on the other hand, it is a film which — look at that title, never look away — is asking about the ways in which artists can look at things by kind of looking at them from the side. sometimes you can only look

at something by looking away. it's three hours long... yeah. ..but no — it flew by. ok, that's good. i'm terrible with long films but i thought it absolutely flew by. all right. and dvd? yeah, this is a very brief theatrical release, but armstrong, the documentary about neil armstrong is coming out on dvd next week. we are at the anniversary of the moon landings, we have seen a lot of films about it — it was apollo 11 just recently and first man, the feature film, not long before that. but the fact of the matter is that it is such an astonishing story. this documentary concentrates much more on his life story — so before and after the mission. it is all fascinating, isn't it? that's the thing. armstrong, but i am just did addicted to this... it's all very fascinating, isn't it? every single time, i am astonished at what was achieved when people work together, what you can actually do. at the centre of it is this very, very enigmatic character who was never very emotional in public but did something extraordinary. fantastic. thank you very much. see you next week.

enjoy your cinema going. bye— bye. hello. some warmth and sunshine to start this forecast, by the end, some rain for many. more on that in a moment. after monday, an area of high pressure centred around the uk. for now, keeping atlantic fronts at bay. some changes through the day on monday. more on the way of cloud, particularly across northern scotland into shetland and eastern countries down the counties of england. that cloud will be stubborn before it clears. some bright, sunny spells by afternoon. some sunny intervals through the second half of the day but aside from an isolated shower, dry, pleasantly warm 20 — 2a celsius the top.

a breeze through the eastern coast and northern scotland. by and for many, dry with clear spells overnight. more cloud arriving into northern ireland and western scotland as the night goes on. on tuesday we are looking at lowe's between 10— 11! celsius, not quite as good as the nights of the weekend. through tuesday we have this weak front pushing its way across northern ireland and scotland. it's going to introduce more cloud, also bring some showery outbreaks of rain on tuesday initially across northern ireland and then working its way into western scotland. just working its way a bit further eastward on tuesday. a dry, pleasantly warm day with highs between 22— 25 celsius, although the northern ireland and northern scotland. —— cooler for it. as a go into wednesday we have a more active front pushing off the atlantic. stronger winds as well, ordering onto the warmth across much of england and wales. a bit of a split on wednesday, if you like, some persistent rain settling into northern ireland and western and eventually northern scotland, to the south of this, a lot of dry weather with sunshine

through the morning and the cloud will tend to build from the west in the afternoon. still light winds for much of england and wales with the breeze picks up across northern ireland and scotland, temperatures at least 16—19 celsius but still up to 25—26 across central and eastern parts of england. this front pushes its way eastwards as we go through, not much rain getting across to central and eastern parts of england, here we should see something more substantial as we go into friday. that's all from me, bye—bye.
