5:47 pm
too old. cliff booth is played by brad pitt, and sharon tate played by margot robbie. sharon tate was a real person, married to roman polanski, her star is on the rise, it is three people over a few days in hollywood, 1969, this is a clip where rick is desperately trying to get some stunt work for cliff. let us get some stunt work for cliff. let us have a look. i can't afford to hire a bunch of quys i can't afford to hire a bunch of guys that smoke cigarettes and talk to each other on the grounds i might use them. i have a four-man team. i got to look after my dudes. use them. i have a four-man team. i got to look after my dudesm use them. i have a four-man team. i got to look after my dudes. if your dudes were a better match i would say ok, you got me, but that is not the case and you know it. he is a great match for me. yes. you could do anything you wanted to him. throw him offa do anything you wanted to him. throw him off a building right. do anything you wanted to him. throw him offa building right. light do anything you wanted to him. throw him off a building right. light him on fire, hit him. get creative, do whatever you wanted. he is happy for the opportunity. rick. yeah. idon't
5:48 pm
dig him. and i don't dig the vibe he brings on set. is leonardo dicaprio looks like he is having fun. are they all having fun? i think so, thatis they all having fun? i think so, that is one thing that actors get in a tarantino movie, they can go to town. there are big tarn tyne nose moment, he is known for big moments there are a couple of those in the film. absolutely. but i think it is a slightly more mature film from him. because it is about growing old, it is about two guys having midlife crises, and with the sharon tate storyline, obviously, in the background of the whole film, there is the manson family, the manson family cult, which brings us, a much darker side to the story. there is a lot going on. yes if you want your big 0tt tarantino moments you saw a clip of bruce lee, there are moments like that in the film. 0verall clip of bruce lee, there are moments like that in the film. overall it is
5:49 pm
more serious, like that in the film. overall it is more serious, more like that in the film. overall it is more serious, more authentic, perhaps less immediate that some of the other films, but it is one you know, as i said i have been to a couple of times you will want to revisited because there is so much going on. i have seen criticism that is self—indulgent and that the sharon tate character, she just isn't given enough lines. she doesn't have a lot of dialogue, that is true. i think there is a problem it is margot robbie, because she is famous we expect her to be in it more. she is a supporting character, he is not a lead. if it was someone eless famous we wouldn't focus on it so eless famous we wouldn't focus on it so much. there are moments where it is about her and she doesn't say anything but through thaishl expression she says so much. there isa expression she says so much. there is a scene where sharon tate is watching one of her own film, it is perhaps the most beautiful moment in the film. she doesn't say anything but you get the sense of what she is trying to convey, it is not all about dialogue. we haven't mentioned violence a lot. tarantino
5:50 pm
cataclysmic violence often, what about here? there are some moment, some explosive violence but overall it feels slower, calmer and it does feel more mature, this is his ninth film. he is not the young buck that he once was. that is very much reflected in the film. it is about people who aren't as young and cool as they used to be. let us move on to dora and the lost city of gold. does it strike gold? it is fun. it isa does it strike gold? it is fun. it is a live action version of the cartoon series. it is huge on kids' tee. have. in the cartoon she is young. probably about six in the cartoon. in this live action version she has been aged up, she is a teenager, i6 she has been aged up, she is a teenager, 16 years old. leaves the ra i nfo rest teenager, 16 years old. leaves the rainforest and goes to la to hang out with hercusen, still adventurous though. 0ne out with hercusen, still adventurous though. one thing about the tv show it has been moral and up right. educational, very strong on
5:51 pm
celebrating latino culture, it is still there in the movie but the key difference is it is co—written by a quy difference is it is co—written by a guy who worked on the muppet film, they send themselves up a bit. they are respect respectful of the legacy but they send themselves up and it's the... i love that line, respectful of the muppet legacy. this is revel respectful of the tv show, there is a few knowing winks and nods and 9395 a few knowing winks and nods and gags in there for adults who will ta ke gags in there for adults who will take their kids. ultimately very clea n take their kids. ultimately very clean cut, very sweet, very lovely but there are some good jokes in there too. the idea being the jungle of school or secondary school is more scary than thejungle, jungle. it is like you have seen it. saw the trailer. it is a teen movie because of that but it plays to under tens, it is not like a proper teen film, it is not like a proper teen film, it very much aimed at young children. now talking about the young children what about the 12 yea rs young children what about the 12 years and their foul languagem
5:52 pm
young children what about the 12 years and their foul language it is produced by seth rogan, he is a writer and producer and actor. even though it is about three 12—year—old boys because it is introduced by seth rogan who made super bad, a filthy teen movie, this is like a junior version of super bad. so three boys and they are getting into trouble when they lose their drone ina trouble when they lose their drone in a neighbour's garden. let us look at good boy bes. —— good boys. can we have the drone back please. i'll tell me dad you stole it. i'll tell them your a pervert.. this is harassment. we will tell everyone your a misogynist. i never soged anyone. this is what happen when you don't respect women. i rapt respect women. my respect women. i rapt respect women. my mum's my best friend. does it work. that is all we could show. because? because it is fruity. that is the joke, the joke
5:53 pm
because? because it is fruity. that is thejoke, thejoke is it is ais that is thejoke, thejoke is it is a 15 certificate film and it is young children saying inappropriate things and they say some things that will make you laugh out loud and that will make your hair curl. as well as being funny that is truthful. i remember being 11 or 12 and you think you know everything, you have a lot of bravado, you don't really know what you are talking about but you pretend you do and thatis about but you pretend you do and that is reflected in the film. the interesting thing is as the film goes on, it goes from being super bad to being more like stand by me 3 it starts to get poignant and deal with issues of growing up and friendship and childhood, so yes, there is a lot of dirtyjoke, it is not for children, aimed at is—year—olds but the surprise is at times it gets quite touching. i never expected that. do you think, like the three i2—year—olds in question are boys, is it going to appeal to girlfriends?” question are boys, is it going to appeal to girlfriends? i think teenager, that is the joke appeal to girlfriends? i think teenager, that is thejoke is appeal to girlfriends? i think teenager, that is the joke is that they are too young to be saying this and that is the joke, if you are a
5:54 pm
teenager you will find that funny. what do we do now? notorious, this is the best film out at the moment. a reissue, the classic hitchcock movie, ingrid bergman cary grant. there is a cary grant season at the moment so it ties in nicely with that and restored as well, so looking sparkling, and the chemistry as well between cary grant and ingrid bergman is sparkling itself. so good together, this romance, she is undercover on a mission, he is her government handler and they have a complex romance. still looks brilliant, immaculate, perhaps a simpler story than other hitchcock movies but glad to see it on the big screen. it still has that brooding horror about it. the tension is ridiculous, classic moment, scenes that go on for a long time because you don't know what is going to happen, you kind of do because you
5:55 pm
have seen it before, the tension is there, even though it is 73 years old. 73 years old. 46. yes, still works. just time for a look at the dvd, what is your favourite. benjamin. simon amstel wrote this. benjamin. simon amstel wrote this. benjamin is like simon, because he is sort of a neurotic vegan film director. this is a british film? yes, romantic comedy, this is what happens when benjamin meets the new love of his lime. this is noah, very laid back, french, relaxed musician. it's a romcom, reminds me of any hall, there so much anxiety in this. all the characters have neuroses, very charming and funny and packs a lot in. and even better, there is a cameo from mark kermode in it. what does he do? plays himself, what
5:56 pm
else? great romcom, romantic, funny. and younger than the any haul generation. it feels like it is very much 20 some things, in london, trying to cope with life, trying to cope with being grown up. poignant orfunny cope with being grown up. poignant or funny enough? i think it is both, it feels like it is simon amstel opening up his heart, showing to it the world and the results are very poignant. thank you. it has been great having you, come back again soon. that's it for this week though. thanks for watching. goodbye. good evening. well wet and windy has been the order of the day, we did see some improvement for northern ireland and scot, but the rain really set in across england and
5:57 pm
wales. so it is all down to this rather unseasonably deep area of low pressure that will be going through the weekend, remaining the dominant player. and we still have a lot of rain to get through before then. in fa ct rain to get through before then. in fact some tricky driving conditions out there at the moment. heavy rain, gusty winds, surface water on the roads and the risk of flooding too. and this is what it looks like. this is the recent rainfall, some of this rain is heavy in places, it is slowly going to be working its way eastwards as we head into this evening and overnight. clearing the far south—east during the early hours of the morning. clear spells will follow on behind, but also some showers for the far north and west of the uk, some of these could be heavy and thundery and it remains blustery so those temperatures won't drop away too far. a mild start on saturday morning. norfor england and wales saturday look drier and brighter, good spells of sunshine, the chance of a shower but the showers morpho cussed through
5:58 pm
northern ireland and up into scotland. closer to our area loaf pressure and they may merge to form longer spells of rain. blustery for all but particularly for the west coast of scotland. in the sunshine down towards the south and east it should feel more pleasant than today with highs of 22. but southern counties will cloud over as we head to the evening as a weather front sta rts to the evening as a weather front starts to push up from the south. it isa starts to push up from the south. it is a wiggly weather front. the exact track, uncertain —— uncertainty round it but rain could be as far as east anglia before clearing in sunday. should have cleared most areas by dawn, for sunday a similar set up to saturday. still under the influence of that area of low pressure, another blustery day. further showers for northern ireland into england and scotland. further south and east it is drier and brighter, temperature—wise, well, similarto brighter, temperature—wise, well, similar to saturday's value, highs of round 21 celsius in the far south and east. now looking ahead to next
5:59 pm
