that you would blow out if you could give out the same amount of energy is black hole dead. scientists are hoping given the advancement in technology this could be the first of many amazing discoveries from the universe. very exciting. the headlines on bbc news. a british man who was on the diamond princess cruise ship, has died from coronavirus. 20 cases have been confirmed in the uk. alarm over the outbreak has sent global stock markets into a steep dive — with the ftse 100 dropping nearly 13% this week. fears of a major international military confrontation — after an attack by government forces in syria leaves dozens of turkish soldiers dead. now on bbc news it's time for the film review.
8:46 pm
hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is james king. so james, what do we have this week? there is a new version of invisible man, but is it a must see? will ferrell struggles in the snow and comedy drama down here. and the foreign language film everyone is talking about that is not parasite. portrait of a that is tight with invisible man. but i be scared out of my wits? we love a her family. you know the story of invisible man. the hg wells the story. it is a date with the credits from a different perspective.
8:47 pm
it is about the invisible man's partner. his girlfriend, and a bully and she wants to escape him she escapes their house but of course because he is invisible because of his power as he can secretly stop her. so a different take on a classic story. it is start in this. he has figured out a way to be invisible. and you know exactly what i'm talking about. he's not dead. ijust can't see him. 0k, though i agree with you, each man was brilliant but it was not because of anything he invented, it was how he got in people's heads. you think about it. you came up with that perfectly to torture you even in death. only thing more brilliant than inventing something that makes you invisible is not inventing it. but making you think he did.
8:48 pm
he's not dead, tom. is very clever? very clever. because ultimately it is a horror film. a horror thriller but really it's about that change effort —— protagonist it's about a woman trying to escape her abuser and that mind games that he plays on her. so, yes it's creepy, it's made by people who have made lots of other horror films, if any gloomy paranormal activity and the purge, all your favourites. seeing them all many times but a very successful and slick low—budget horror movies. so it has a horror pedigree but i think because of that central concept, the twist in the chair if you like, this actually has something more to it. something much more profound about it. i'm a more emotional, or even watching the trailer, it made me quite tense because it is a woman who has been a victim of whether it's coercive
8:49 pm
control, some form of domestic violence. of course everybody around her wants to help her. but says of course you are traumatised, of course you are, look what he used to do to you. and it is her trying to convince people, mainly them that actually happened. because the guys invisible. no one has got proof of it. they think it's all in her so there's a lot of mind games, psychological stuff i really appreciate that. you are on the edge of your seats to use the old cliche, anticipating the jumps on the stairs. great use of silence and empty spaces and base. if you want the old school jumps and stares, they are there. but it does have that little something extra that makes it a must see. really interesting and people love elizabeth moss at the moment. she is brilliant. she is fragile but determined as well. change of scene for your second choice? yes.
8:50 pm
this is downhill, an american remake of force majeur, it came out 2014, as swedish director made it. great movie about a couple on holiday in the alps and a relationship crisis that happens. the american version seesjulia louis dreyfus and will ferrell. pretty much the same story about this couple in the aftermath of an avalanche that happens at their resort. but even before you see this, you can tell that it's going to be different to be original. because, this is 90 minutes long, the original was two hours long so you go half an hour is gone, what had been cut out? what has happened? actually, when you watch it because the original was great and it is likely that it's going to be different to be original. because, this is 90 minutes long, the original was two hours long so you go half an hour is gone, what had been cut out? what has happened? actually, when you watch it because the original was great and it is nice to be the same story it's still an interesting story about a married couple, the problems they have and how they all come to a head on this
8:51 pm
holiday and then some insightful stuff in there. the husband is a real coward, he should have bluffed his way through life. the main female dynamic range interesting but half an hour shorter which means less complex, less subtle, it's kind of the cliff notes version of the original film. the bullet points of the original fan. that does not make it back, it's very easy to watch. the original one had to it. and that is the movie that sticks with you rather than this one which is a much simpler thing. i only think that is interesting. do these films need to be remade when you are saying the original was so much better. i studio boss was saying you know what, we will put it in beautiful scenery,, we will get julia louis dreyfus, it will be a winner. scenery, we will get julia louis dreyfus, it will be a winner. the original was an art—house film, a foreign language come to us and they don't quite know in this new version, is it an art—house film again, they had a listers in it. it's fine but what's the original, it's better. you have got a cracking foreign language down as a choice tonight.
8:52 pm
so this is the french historical drama portrait of a lady on fire. if you twice tonight. so this is the french historical drama portrait of a lady on fire. the film—maker behind this, and of the 18th century, this is set by mariana, a portrait painter and she's commissioned to paint the portrait of heloise, the bride—to—be and a reluctant bride—to—be and she lives out on an island on the coast such she goes there to do this painting. an awkward relationship between and at first but that relationship blossomed into romance. let's have a look.
8:53 pm
i wish i could now pull out one of those pipes from my pocket. i was listening to the crackling of the fire impact prep thinking how clever it was. i think it's very, very classy film. very classy. it contained a a sense of that in the clip as well, and a sense of that
8:54 pm
in the clip as well, an enigmatic film. you see me, i loved it. but it's a film i want to go back more to unlocking this movie. you get it the first time around but i think you will continue to be rewarded the first time around but i think you will continue to be rewarded with more things than what times you watch it. it looks beautiful. actually. a lot of it is quite unfair. where they left, where it set on this item but i guess it's the passion between these two characters that is the fire, you can see the fire there, it is the warmth of the film and the beauty of the film. and the paintings as well that you see are beautiful so there are these little elements of beauty and romance and passion within this quite a and setting and ultimately it's about two women who are finally allowed to be what they want to be at a time when they weren't and yes, they have to do it in virtual isolation. but, it's a film about the authenticity about people being
8:55 pm
their authentic selves. i got to be an and i thought how clever it was because there is the levy character of the maid as well and the whole throughout it, this is the 17th set —— century, men are in control and name a teddy control of the three remaining in different ways but they get that to the end of that them i do think all there is hardly a man and if at all. really clever. you read these books and they are and as of that bear and hitchcock as well there's a few hitchcock nods but entirely it's on film and a beautiful one. very beautiful indeed. i'm glad you have chosen this. it's fascinating. i guess he could call it sci—fi. it's gently science fiction. i don't know what to call it. everyone and then use the music room is saying what is that film and i said i don't know how to categorise it. it can't easily summarise it although you have to. it is about two scientists, they develop this genetically modified plants that has this revolutionary saints that can help with depression but of course there
8:56 pm
are side effects that it can make you act in strange ways and it's a strange film. a strange film shot in a lots of really deep reds and hot pinks, this kind of wild crazy cacophonous soundtrack going on as well. but, ifound it really intriguing. it reminded me of 805 david kronenberg films. that clinical quality about it. very clinical and visually sort of almost perfect but in a way that is too perfect and that's deliberate and a very clever. i suppose ultimately it is about an hour on prescription drugs and pills and things to try and make us feel better and try and make us think we are worthwhile and that people and good parents but certainly not like anything i've seen before. a quick talk about bbb. black and blue. one of our finest who morphs seamlessly into a new
8:57 pm
orleans cop in this movie investigating police corruption and that is interesting things about their safety, your writing has had plenty of problems of ready yea rs and reaches in this city but ultimately funny it is heard in the performance that makes it because she is just such a presence. lovely to see you. thank you very much. and thank you for watching and enjoy your cinema going whatever you choose to see. goodbye. hello there, it's another weekend within the named storm set to bring wet and windy weather. today we are already seeing a spell of rain, this would be more rain overnight was well that could to some further flooding. it's not just well that could to some further flooding. it's notjust rain though we have been seeing, snow across the hills of northern england and into scotland, a lot of that has been
8:58 pm
turning to rain. and we have the next band of rain coming in from the west, this is the picture later on in the night this band of heavy rain coming in from the atlantic accompanied by some strong and gusty winds as well. the heaviest of the rain is likely to be over the hills in western parts of england and across wales. just where we don't need it and of the hills of wales in the ring today and tonight could be over 70 millimetres of rain. by the morning tomorrow the ring should have cleared away from these areas, this band of rain sweeping away from eastern england moving away from the mainland of scotland in such a file is in the winds pick up and wetter cost northern ireland, and southern scotla nd cost northern ireland, and southern scotland with some snow in the hills. to bridge the four or 5 degrees coming up much warmer south enough because the wind is picking up enough because the wind is picking up that will make it feel cold, why do windy i think by the end of the afternoon. the strongest of the winds coming of course from storm
8:59 pm
jorge. that's bringing the rain first of all it in the winds strengthening ground on saturday. that's where there will be at their peak i think on saturday and saturday night. gusts of up to 75 mph, particularly when those heavy showers come along that weather weather is all moving its way northwards into the colder air. should be weakening by the stage the winds will be quite a strong and the weather front here will be what weather front here will be what weather through the english channel into southern and particularly southeastern parts of england to end the day. across from the scotland where they have what weather and heavy snow falling. as move further south winds do tend to eat little bit and will be sunshine around and showers that could be wintry over the hills and temperatures perhaps as high as eight or 9 degrees. it does not look as windy, such as showers again wintry in the hills.
9:00 pm
