prove it when to find evidence to prove it when eve ryo ne to find evidence to prove it when everyone believes it's going on, why not? we are going to end on tributes that are paid to jack charlton. very quickly, what did you make about this sad announcement? well, i loved martin's wonderful tribute in the la st martin's wonderful tribute in the last session we did. i can't better it. even i knew i am not interested in football, i think that it's such a part of the national legend of this country. and it was really sad whenjuan this country. and it was really sad when juan martin said this country. and it was really sad whenjuan martin said that most of them are dying and there are only about five less. what a way to live and die that everybody loves you. isn't that a life worth living? that is the point, is in a? because tributes have been coming in from young and old as well. people who
11:46 pm
we re young and old as well. people who were around to watch them play, i was just a were around to watch them play, i wasjust a bit were around to watch them play, i was just a bit too young to do that. born a few months after the workouts final but i saw him as a manager. i have followed his career as a manager. i know his brother, i met him ona manager. i know his brother, i met him on a number of occasions. jack had a personality which was even bigger than his physical frame had a personality which was even bigger than his physicalframe which was quite impressive anyhow. and people loved him. in leeds, and shh fields and particularly because of his fate in ireland. he was the most popular english men in ireland by some distance of his time. the face that give it a lashjack. just some distance of his time. the face that give it a lash jack. just try, throw everything at it, turn things around, you can make a small team like ours take on the grades. to beat and draw with england tournaments to the romania, italy, italy at a world cup. that's what he
11:47 pm
managed. that's why he was so revered and loved in ireland. but also one of that elite group of ii men that won the group delay not work out. the greatest feat in english history. he was part of it. perfect point to end our review of the papers this evening. thank you very much it's been great seeing both of you again thank you. yes, thatisit both of you again thank you. yes, that is it for us from the papers today. coming up next year on bbc news coming up next it's the film review. enjoy. hello and welcome to the film review with me, anna smith. i'm filling in for mark kermode to review this week's releases.
11:48 pm
first up, spaceship earth, a fascinating documentary about eight people who locked down for two years for a science experiment. as i am ready to enter, i take my last breath of this atmosphere in two years. we were pioneers. we were the first biospherians. how can you prepare yourself for a journey into the unknown? the biosphere 2 is a collection of huge geodesic domes built in the arizona desert, home to an entire ecological system, including rainforest and an ocean. we called it biosphere 2 because biospherei is the earth. in 1991, the eight biospherians went
11:49 pm
to live and work there. they reckoned we might all have to relocate to mars one day so they wanted to give it a dry run. under the glare of the press spotlight, the experiment suffered from controversy when the team added to the oxygen supply and allegedly brought in items from the outside world. i don't want to talk about it. the film—maker matt wolf is just as interested in the positives of the story, and in the history of the group behind it. using current—day interviews with the team alongside archive footage, he paints a picture of fiercely intelligent forward—thinking radicals. they formed in san francisco in the 1960s and they practised communal living but they were far from stereotypical hippies. they built a ship themselves so they could travel the world and experience different ways of living, persuading rich philanthropists to fund their projects. the future is here. wolf's documentary doesn't get deeply personal in its line of enquiry, but it certainly gets you thinking about sustainable community living in the threatened world.

this topical watch is available on demand now. a lot of people don't know about organised crime in the south because it is not that organised. what's with the cones? i thought the randomness of it might throw off a cop. i guess that is smart. you might recognise the comic actor clark duke from hot tub time machine or the office, an american workplace. he has now turned director and his first film is a crime thriller called arkansas. are you going to sell us the gun or not? no, i am not. because in your line of work, guns is as likely to get you killed as to protect you. what line of work is that? rangering. based on the novel byjohn brandon, it also stars duke as a drugs runner called swin who is sent to arkansas to play sidekick to a gruff dealer called kyle. liam hemsworth is solid as the pragmatic kyle,
11:51 pm
while duke has quirky comic charm. in the tradition of directors likejon favreau, duke gives himself a very attractive on—screen girlfriend, played by eden brolin, daughter ofjosh, though she is given a kind of kooky edge for this. would either of you boys like to call me sir? you can if you want. i won't think is corny. we are going to go to traffic drugs across state lines, sir. the appearance ofjohn malkovich adds gravitas and there is a nice role for vivica a fox, too. though, vince vaughan fared less well in a role that demands slightly confusing flashbacks. am i going to die? most likely. the biggest problem with arkansas is its pacing. this long film often feels plodding, and following the novel's episodic structure only drags things out further. it is also very grim. violence is dispensed with a sense of gloomy inevitability, as the pair get in over their heads and try not to cross their mysterious, anonymous boss. but it is still a promising calling
11:52 pm
card for duke as a screenwriter. his monologues are engaging while clearly influenced by a certain quentin tarantino. say thank you. thank you. you're welcome. it's out on digital onjuly 13. shall we go, or? yeah. 0k. now to colombia for litigante, a drama about a lawyer who is trying to juggle a stressful court case with a young son and a dying mother. director franco lolli cast his own mother in the role,
11:53 pm
along with his cousin, carolina sanin, in the lead role. both put in authentic performances as a loving but bickering pair, and vladimir duran adds a touch of levity and a glimmer of hope as the love interest. it is a slow burning but well observed character piece. litigante is out on curzon home cinema now. also out on curzon home cinema is in her hands, the story of brilliant young working—class pianist who is discovered playing piano at a train station by the director of the paris
11:54 pm
conservatoire. it is a neat idea, with a strong cast, including kristin scott thomas as a strict piano teacher. jules benchetrit is charismatic in the lead role but i found it hard to shake the knowledge that he is an actor who has been trained to play the right notes rather than a truly gifted classical pianist, which is what the whole story hinges on.
11:55 pm
and the formula of the big contest that happens to clash with important family events feels very familiar indeed. if you want to watch one formulate musical drama with kristin scott thomas this week, i would actually make it military wives, out on dvd now. keep going, keep going! # looking from a window above. # like a story of love. go on. # can you hear me? # came back only yesterday. # i'm moving further away. # want you near me. # all i needed was the love you gave. # all i needed for another day. # and all i ever knew. # only you.# inspired by a true
11:56 pm
story, it features scott thomas on imperious form as an officer's wife who clashes with the choir mistress played by sharon horgan. so... no, go ahead. 0k. thanks very much, lisa. the pair must resolve their differences in order to take the group of wives all the way from the military base to the royal albert hall. with no artistic pretensions, this film from full monty director peter cattaneo is a enjoyably predictable and hits all the right notes with crowd—pleasing scenes of female bonding and sometimes harmonious singing. they sing out of tune, baby cries. finally, a blast from the past. the 1986 comedy ferris bueller‘s day off is out on blu—ray now. the 1961 ferrari, 250 gt california. less then 100 were made.
11:57 pm
my father spent three years restoring this car. it is his love, it is his passion. it is his fault he didn't lock the garage. matthew broderick stars as the precocious teen whose guides of school for a wild ride around chicago with his girlfriend and his best friend. this blends vicarious thrills with wise guy comedy and farcical episodes. it is hilariously dated in parts, and in other parts plain hilarious. an energetic slice of escapism from high school movie masterjohn hughes. thanks for watching the film review with me, anna smith. stay safe and we will be back next week with more viewing treats. if i was bleeding out of my eyes, you guys would make me go to school. this is so unfair. jeanie, please don't be upset with me, you have your health, be thankful. hello there.
