11:45 pm
called the vicious six, his plans go awry, he ends up being kidnapped. therefore, the minions must save gru and in order to save him they have to do a whole load of things, including learning martial arts by master chow, voiced by michelle yeo. will tell you in advance. i think this is hilarious. don't tell to me i can't break this word. but doubt exists only in the mind. you know what i say to my mind? yah!. now you. our! kevin, kevin, kevin. yah! 0k, we're both laughing a lot! and i haven't even seen it! there we are! that is so silly, but very funny.
11:46 pm
yes, and it made you laugh, so russell brand, julie andrews, steve carell, a plot involving a magical stone, none of that matters. what matters is i genuinely think that the minions are the great animated slapstick creation of our time, in the same way as tom and jerry. it's a formula that works and i love slapstick comedy, i absolutely love slapstick comedy, and every single minions movie — 0k, some of them are better than others and some make more sense than others — it's to do with the minions' set pieces, they make me smile and laugh. i know so many people who go, i cannot believe how much you like minions, i have socks, the t—shirt do you? you're easy for christmas! they make me laugh, and right now, who doesn't want to be able to just go to the cinema and smile? yes. there are some downsides, there are some bits of the film in which other things are happening, bits of plot going on and other
11:47 pm
things i'm not really interested in. doesn't matter, soon enough, we'll get back to the little yellow kids knocking into each other and doing the babbling funny voices. ijust minions slapstick funny and as was ijust find minions slapstick funny, and as was demonstrated, so did you. idid! the clip of, kevin, kevin... somebody only has to go up to me and go... and i start laughing. i am sure they are things wrong with it, i don't care i'm sure they are things wrong with it, i don't care about any of them. brilliant, brilliant, i'm going out to see it tonight! we all lead a laugh, you're quite right. so, very different — tigers, it was the swedish entry at the 95th edition of the academy awards. this is inspired by the true life memoir of martin big storm, played by alfred enoch, who finds himself in a hostile environment that is necessarily
11:48 pm
competitive and hostile, footballer is all he has ever dreamt of, but the strains that come with it and his youth are just too much to bear, and when he starts to crack, the industry into which he has been inducted just has no interest in dealing with it. so, on one hand, they're very interested in his physical to this and making sure, oh, that is fine, but when it comes to anything to do with mental health is basically left on his own. this is directed by ronnie sandahl, who wrote the tennis drama, bob versus mcenroe, and clearly understands the psychology of sport and for me, this is really a portrait of a young man struggling with mental health issues that are not being paid to by anyone else and it's engrossing and what i know about football wouldn't fill the back of a postage stamp, but it's not about football, it's about coming of age and mental health issues. yes, and that is why i'm so interested to see it because i'm like you on the football front, but it almost wouldn't matter, it seems to me, from what
11:49 pm
i know which sport it i know which sport it's about, it's about the pressure he's under at a young age... ..looking out for him or taking response ability for that. yes, and the environment he is in necessarily turns everyone in the house they are living in against each other because they are all competing for a place on the team, so it is an absolute dog—eat—dog world. and that's the point of entry for me, not the sport, it doesn't matter what the sport is, it's way in which a mental health is just left to deal with itself. we are worried about your cast of all the rest of it, but not the other stuff. i thought it was really interesting. really interesting, and ties in again with your first choice. it does, and it ties in with nitram, this is played by caleb landry jones, who won an oscar. this is a clearly disturbed a school kid, his dad "you can't do that." his parents can't control him.
11:50 pm
and then his path crosses with a wealthy woman played by davis, who is fantastic, who takes him in, buy some clothes and a car and connecting they appear to be having a relationship together, something his mother, played byjudy davis, is not entirely happy about. here's a clip. something sweet i know he will like. goodness, you know a lot about my son. what exactly is going on here? sorry, i don't know what you mean. you buy him a car, he moves in with you. what is next, marriage? what's next, marriage ? he needed a car. he doesn't have a licence. i didn't know that. yes, well, i guess you don't know everything. so, great performances. yes. and up until this point, it's really a belated coming—of—age
11:51 pm
drama about a young man with problems, and then what happens is he finds himself isolated again, he finds himself with money and he turns to guns, and there is a terrifying scene in which he walks into a gun shop and basically buys a whole load of extremely high—power weapons that are sold to him like this is completely normal. and what the film is really about is that. it's about that more than it's about his issues. the writer, shaun grant, started working on it when he was in america in the wake of a couple of terrible shootings and his mind went back to the 1996 port arthur massacre in australia, which was a lone shooter massacre, and he said he wanted to write a film which will make the audience, especially those pro—gun, to sit with a character who clearly should not have access to firearms and watch as they are so easily granted to him. and i think, obviously, the film caused a lot of controversy because it's talking about a subject that's still in fairly recent history,
11:52 pm
but i think what's really important about it is it's a film about somebody with personal problems and those personal problems then become a national tragedy because into the equation you throw... yes. ..the accessibility of lethal weapons, and i thought that scene... i know you have seen the film as well, i hope you felt the same way i did, that scene is terrifying. yes, and that scene really stuck with me and i stuck with me and i thought the tempo of the film was very good because the scene in the gun very strong picture of a man with enormous problems... yes. and myjaw was on the ground, saying, "they're going "to ask for a license now, you're going to have a note "from a doctor or something," and he walked out with fast rapid weapons and... it's horrifying, absolutely horrifying. there's a moment on the kind gun shops is, "you got a license?" and he says no, and he says, that's ok, we can...
11:53 pm
that is jaw—dropping. that point, that is what the writer wanted to do, he wanted to get an audience of and show them a character who clearly was not someone who should own weapons and show them how easy it was, and that's the point of the film. but that was the point i took away, i found it very disturbing, but i also felt it did a reason to revisit a story that was obviously very shocking and still very recent history. yes, it's upsetting, but incredibly well—made. and you believe in the characters, you really believe in the characters. so, best out — elvis. yes, i am really sad i haven't seen it yet, i'm generally very sad about that, to top my list. yes, i thought you might have some pointers. it's brilliant, it's absolutely brilliant. it is bad lumen, it has all the musical madness of milan rouge,
11:54 pm
the what all of it craziness of australia, the irreverence of the great gatsby, the shakespearean tragedy of romeo and juliet, the story of elvis as played by tom hanks and... austin butler, austin butler is particularly butler is particularly amazing as presley, austin butler, austin butler is particularly amazing as presley. a lot of people have said it's all flash, but nonsense, it's a film that actually understand the subject, gets under the skin of its object and does but if you do know about elvis, and i do, i was obsessed since being a child, and i was terrified i would sit there and go, no, that's wrong... but the dramatic liberties it takes are perfectlyjustified. i know tom parker wasn't actually arguing about whether they should have snowmen when elvis was actually wearing black leather — it doesn't matter, it works. and i think it has debts, contrary to what
11:55 pm
many critics have said aboutjust being surface, it isn't and i think if you love elvis you will love elvis, you'll love this, and if you had even never been interested in elvis, you'll away from bad lumen, a quick word about the railway children. yes, the railway children is back in cinemas, this is lionel jeffries original, back in cinemas on sunday the 3rd ofjuly. jeffries was a genius director, he made this, he made the amazing mr blunt and, to be the greatest kids films ever i mean, even thinking about that just sends me a quiver, it is such just sends me a quiver. it's such a great piece of work and i think lioneljeffries is a fantastic film—maker, see it on a big—screen! and i think lioneljeffries is a fantastic film—maker.
11:56 pm
see it on a big—screen! fantastic. what a week! join us next week, if you possibly can. enjoy your cinema—going. goodbye! hello there. part two of the weekend is looking fairly unsettled as well. we'll have more showers around, some of them could turn out to be quite heavy in places, maybe some rumbles of thunder. the winds light in the south, quite breezy across northern areas, and it's because we've got low pressure to the north of the uk, high pressure towards the south and a couple of weak weather fronts crossing the country. these will enhance the shower activity. now, one such front will be lying across central parts of the uk through the morning, so it'll be rather cloudy here with some showery rain, some sunshine across the south, showers. quite breezy across scotland and northern ireland. but into the afternoon, all areas will see sunshine and showers — some of them could be heavy across some central and eastern areas. it could turn a bit drier towards western areas later in the day. top temperatures 21—22 degrees in the the mid—teens further north. there could be a passing shower at wimbledon,
11:57 pm
but i think the emphasis will be on drier and sunnier weather with light winds and a top temperature of around 22 degrees. now, through sunday night, it looks like the showers will fade away. lengthy clear skies again across england and wales. scotland and northern ireland will stay breezy with showers or longer spells of rain, and temperatures will range from around 9—12 celsius across the uk. so, monday, we start off with some sunshine across southern and eastern areas — a few showers developing here into the afternoon. most of the showers will be across the north and west of the country, leaving some longer spells of rain at times, for the north and west of scotland. temperatures again, the mid—teens in the north. we could see 22 or even 23 degrees across southeast england. this area of high pressure want to continue to build into the southwest, but around the top of it, it will feed and a lot of cloud to northern and western parts of the country. some cloud getting down into the south and east as well — maybe just one or two showers here, and top temperatures around 17—22 celsius.
11:58 pm
as we move deeper into the week, it looks like this area of high pressure will continue to influence our weather, pushing these weather fronts away, but it'll always be cloudier with the chance of some showers and stronger breeze across the north and the west of the uk for the rest of the week. you can see the cloudier sky across scotland and northern ireland. further south you are, a better chance of staying dry and it should start to turn warmer, perhaps reaching 26 degrees on friday.
