month arrived in australia over a month ago and have had to wait till day three to get this tournament started. under the lights here in perth. one of the favourite to become world champions, they lost the toss. early wickets cut them out and when captain heather knight fell, there were 43 for three. the wickets kept falling. causing more south african delight. some resista nce south african delight. some resistance was offered with a half—ce ntu ry resistance was offered with a half—century before she succumbed. south africans took control from the start. more big hitting followed leaving them at nine of the final six balls. two boundaries were enough to seal the victory. south africa elated, england to and needing to reassess. this world cup is proving it is difficult to live up is proving it is difficult to live up to the tag of favourites. another

busy sunday here. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode, as ever. hello, mark, what have you been watching? interesting week. we have greed — the devil is in the retail. littlejoe — a sci—fi thriller, or is it? is it all in the mind? and like a boss, a comedy that

needs to be a lot funnier than it actually is. the devil is in the retail. good tagline. it's a great tagline. so steve coogan stars as richard ‘greedy‘ mccready who is kind of a loathsome british retail mogul who has recently been hauled up in front of a bunch of mps to account for himself. this is a fictional tale. fictional, yes. but it will obviously it will ring certain bells for news viewers. it is found in the run—up to a significant birthday. he sunning himself on a greek island, building a coliseum at which he is going to lord over all his toga—clad friends at a party which is meant to be some kind of huge roman spectacular, including wild animals. however, people are dropping out left, right, and centre, so they're having to turn to not real celebrities, but look—alikes. here's a clip. hi, richard.

simon cowell, he's very good. who are you? adele. of course you are. who's the guy with the bandanna? he's rod stewart. looks like rod stewart's bitter older brother? who's she? kylie. kylie minogue?! she will have to wear a name badge. is that george michael? he's amazing. apparently he can sing as well. george michael is bleep dead. i think the agencyjust sent anyone they had on the books. they should have put the ghost of george michael. you laughed all the way through that. lots of very cheesy jokes, but they did make me laugh. so steve coogan, who i'm a big fan of, directed by michael winterbottom. they have worked together before and done some very interesting films. on the one hand, this revels in the grotesquerie of the millionaire life. on the other hand, it's aiming at a wider target, which is how is it that

all this wealth is produced? who are they workers that are being exploited? that's very important for his part of the story. originally, i think, sacha baron cohen was earmarked to play the central character, and you can imagine him playing it a lot more grotesquely. the thing i like about steve coogan's portrayal is that he's very good at playing characters who are essentially utterly kind of creepy and unlovable, but playing them in a way which actually makes their company bearable for the course of the movie. so for me, i think steve coogan was pretty good. i think sometimes there's a disparity between the very broad—strokes comedy of the film itself and the attempt to deal with more serious subject matter, such as refugees, such as worker exploitation. i was wondering how that would work, because you could say lots of very serious things about the fashion industry, but putting the two together is quite a challenge. but crucially, michael winterbottom, that's the kind of thing he does. because he is interested in those issues, and it wouldn't be a michael winterbottom film without them, so i don't think they mesh together perfectly.

you wouldn't want the comedy without them, because it would kind of take the heart out of the film. so i enjoyed it while i was watching it. i don't think it's particularly savagely insightful film, but it's a fun watch — it does have something serious at its heart. whether or not it completely manages to make that more dramatic, that's still up for debate, although there is a very interesting intertwining of the modern retail story with kind of archetypal greek myth, which does tie together well as the drama moves on. i enjoyed it, i think more than some critics did. 0k. little joe. i don't even know how to begin to describe this, but it is curious and fascinating — goodness. so, i loved it. this is a brilliantly low—key psychological thriller, and it is about a plant that has been invented by emily beecham, designed to make the owner happy. it produces oxytocin in the owner. the mother hormone.

you will love this plant like you will love your own child. but the question is, is the plant infecting people around it? is it changing them to its own ends? carrie fox thinks her dog is no longer her dog, which is obviously very body snatchers. my dog is no longer my dog. emily beecham's character thinks that possibly her son is a stranger to her. but of course he is. he's at a certain age he's changing, he's becoming a different person. what i loved about it was there is a way of reading this film which is pretty much all in the mind. our central character is torn between home life and work and there's a suggestion by her psychotherapist, that everything she's feeling is projecting guilt because they've even called the plant littlejoe, named after her. she says let's call it littlejoe. i've seen it a couple of times now. each time i saw it, it looks different. the first time i thought it was one

side of a story. the second time, i thought it was another. it's chilling and icy and beautifully designed. what did you think? visually, i loved it. all those wide shots, some of it here, of the plants, the banks of the plants cultivated, i thought it was brilliant. i went into it quite nervous. it's well documented that i'm a bit of a chicken. were you going in thinking it was like a horror—inflicted thing? i thought there would be a little bit of horror. i was a little nervous, but i wouldn't describe it as horror. and it gets, it sort of burrows into your brain and you're not sure what's going on. but in a good way. it's a chiller. i really, really like it. you genuinely come out of it questioning. was something happening, wasn't it happening, was it all in my mind? i think it's really well played. i think the cast did great. every use of green and yellow and red is all very particularly put together. i thought it was great. i think it is a bit of a hard sell. i think it's not for everybody, but i thought it was really terrific. yes, i would agree with that. i have not seen today's third choice. no. i wouldn't argue that

you should rush to see it. this is a comedy. with tiffany haddish and rose byrne. it's about lifelong friends who have started a cosmetic company. kind of running it as a cottage industry. the setup is that, essentially, in comes this beauty mogul who says i am going to invest in a company because i thinks the company is fabulous. but she has to sign a contract saying she gets control of the company if they fall out. that's the setup. here's a clip. i need you to be fierce to yourself so you can inspire the ugly people to buy themselves into gorgeousness! listen to the word — fierced. what is it saying to you? i hear fear, then "st". i hear that too. fierced! now whisper it. feel it inside you — fierced! glass shattering.

jarring, unexpected, exhilarating. that's fierced. can you be fierced? yes, yes, we can certainly try. i don't want her as my boss. but what a great performance though. that's salma hayek doing the kind of over the top thing. three really great performances, and the setup is really interesting, so why is it that the laughs stop about ten minutes in? this is a perfect example of the script being the problem. the script is nothing like as inventive or clever or intimate or intriguing or interesting as it could be. you've essentially got the first act, which is here's the setup, they're friends, she kind of wants to split them apart, because that's what she does. and then you think — this is going where, and that got all cranked up. and it's a real shame because i did think, for the first five or ten minutes,

ok, yup, it's going somewhere. and then, oh, no, it's just that other film. it's a real shame because there are few things more disheartening than watching really great screen talent get wasted. i think this is a perfect example of that. it's a shame. very disappointing. and best out therefore is still... it's still... this is the last week i'm going to say this. parasite is still in cinemas, it is still drawing audiences, and again, how brilliant that a foreign—language film won the oscar for best picture. i know that some high—ranking politicians think that's a bad thing, that we should all be watching gone with the wind. but actually, some of us are watching parasite — a challenging, strange movie by bong joon—ho. i can't wait to see it again, i can't wait to see the black and white version. this to me is what cinema is about. i just loved the movie.

you liked it. i liked it a lot. it's hugely intelligent, sometimes unexpectedly funny. every time i laugh, i thought i didn't think i would be laughing at all in this film, and it takes you through a lot of different emotions. and i like that in a film. the genius is sometimes you're laughing and recoiling at the same time because it is, and funny enough, i think this is a connection to littlejoe, because i think it has a similar quality to it. that you don't know whether to laugh or be creeped out by certain things. i love films in which there is an ambiguity at the heart of it, which is what i love about parasite and what i love about littlejoe as well. yes, you are just not quite sure. but yes, it's terrific. what's on dvd this week? honeyland, about a subject i know very little about — it's wild bee—keeping. it begins as a straightforward documentary as bee—keeping, but then it becomes so much else. it becomes a story of mothers and daughters and neighbours and changing worlds and how a way

of life is starting to disappear. it does all of this in a way that's almost imperceptible, that you almost don't notice it's shifting from one tone to the other. and again, this is one of these films that i knew nothing about going in other than the title, and one of the greatjoys of cinema is it can take you somewhere where you absolutely didn't expect, and that's what honeyland did for me. it's hard going in places, i won't live. ——i won't lie. it is. there are elements i loved about it. i love the big sweeping planes and some of it was really tough. i don't think that is a bad thing, exactly. no, absolutely. challenging cinema is what makes cinema important, although some people just want gone with the wind. excellent. obviously you will be doing that this week. yes. see you next time. thanks very much for being with us. enjoy your cinema going, whatever you choose to see. see you soon, bye—bye.

it looks like some of us will be dealing with snow for the monday commute. through the evening and tonight we are bringing our next area of cloud and rain but putting into colder air, northern ireland, northern england, the central belt there will be some snow falling to quite similar levels, maybe some splashy accumulations in some places. all of that as we go through monday feeds further north across scotla nd monday feeds further north across scotland and even from where it has cleared in the hills as a strong gusty wind picks up, that's that snow may start to drift in places. still snowing through parts of northern scotland in through the afternoon. elsewhere in england and wales, an area of rain heavy at times will sweep south and create a brighter skies and a few showers. a blustery day with gusty winds and a range of temperatures from north to south. colder where we have the snow

which will finally clear on monday night and we will have a a few showers.
