girls club that's not something i've seen very often in my lifetime. it's already starting to come momentum is changing. the lads are starting to talk about women's football now and saying how much they're enjoying the game. even sending me memes. again, that wasn't something happening in the past, they'd have an isolated group of friends that we talk about women's football. but not the boys, they would always shutdown the conversation.— they would always shutdown the conversation. stacy, thank you so much for talking _ conversation. stacy, thank you so much for talking to _ conversation. stacy, thank you so much for talking to us _ conversation. stacy, thank you so much for talking to us with - conversation. stacy, thank you so much for talking to us with that l conversation. stacy, thank you so much for talking to us with that i | much for talking to us with that i hope your prediction of that score is correct. i will have it on sunday. enjoy the game. time for the film reviewed now. hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. taking us through this week's cinema releases is as ever, mark kermode.

hi mark. so we have an interesting week, we have thirteen lives, which is a real life rescue drama. we have dc league of super—pets, pretty much does what it says on the ten. and fire of love, a volcanic love story. quite a mixture. yes, let's start with thirteen lives. this is a dramatisation by director ron howard by the thai cave rescue of 2018 about which there was a documentary recently that we discussed... yet, not that long ago. that's right. ajuniorfootball team iand their code, 13 of them trapped in a cave following flooding. the screenplay is by william nicholson, as i said, ron howard who is a very good director and the passes done things like apollo 13, which is again, a real life rescue mission. colin farrell and vito mortonson who you wouldn't recognise when they come on screen

as the british cavers who first find the boys and their coach. here's a clip. how do you stay so strong? yeah, great team and of course will help us. on behalf of a coach, we stay strong. meditate. you pray? i bet you do.

this is to get out? good work. so the terrifying thing is, yeah, i know, caves, water. i'm claustrophobic at the best of times. 0k, they found them, how do they get them out? because in order to get them out you have to be a train diver, it's terrifying. the anaesthetist to whom they turn for a plan, he initially says look, this is insane, you can't do this, it's mad, basically to find a way of making almost like packages. at one point they say, "they are packages, "we are the delivery people." they say, but look, if we don't do anything everyone is going to die. so this is an incredibly

dramatic a story. and i have to say, it's very well rendered by ron howard. it's remarkable that even though we know the outcome, because of course, an international news story, they still sat there watching it biting my nails thinking this isjust got back i mean, if you made this up nobody would believe you. if you wrote this as a hollywood spec script they would say no, that absolutely cannot happen. the film is very much about people volunteering to help. there's people on top of the mountain trying to divert the rain. this one really moving bit in which the farmers are asked, look, we need to flood your fields to get the rain off. and they go, "will it help the boys? "yeah, fine, in that case to it." so it is a story of everyday heroism but it is also like a really gripping thriller about people trapped in an underground cage. i'm just... i sort of want to see it and sorted don't

know if i have the stomach for it. which is as you say, we know what happens. i don't think they'd be able to make the film this close to it a few years on... if the outcome hadn't been as remarkable as it was. i mean, i was reminded that when i saw ron howard's apollo 13, i saw it with somebody who didn't know how apollo 13 ended because they were younger than me. and they were really surprised that it ended the way it did. it's like wow, who would of thought? but i think this is a very well—made drama, the documentary is obviously very powerful. this is in cinemas now. it will be on prime video on august the 5th. ron howard does know how to do this stuff. yes, i loved apollo 13. so we moved to? animated, 0k dc league of super—pets, animated super animals, lex luther captures a bunch of superheroes, puzzling cages and then it's left to an assortment of you know, super man's dog in and a bunch of shop shelter dogs to save the day. the voice actors are dwaynejohnson,

kevin hart and kate mckinnon as a guinea pig who is gone the side of dogs and dreams of world domination. i kind of sat there watching this thinking, ok, this is a dogs dinner of a movie. this is something in which a bunch of people have sat around and gone, "you know, are there any holes in the super hero market that haven't plugged it? why don't we try and see whether this works? all the individual voice artists sound like they are on different planets, not just in different rooms. the plot is weirdly... sometimes it's really stupid and sometimes it's unnecessarily complicated. it's notjust that are not the target audience. look at the lego movie, look at how great that was, look at into the spiderverse, look at how great that was. this just felt utterly soulless and corporate. maybe a young viewer who is particularly excited by a flying dog but... you see, i watch the trailer and i laughed several times because it was about dogs talking to each other about their humans. and as a dog owner and a dog lover, i laughed out loud.

but maybe that's the best fit. here's the thing, love dogs, have always had dogs, what would it be without dogs. really thought this was below par. 0k. so, a really curious documentary. fire of love, which is a documentary about french vulcan apology. you've seen this documentary. i'm told very early on this is the last image of them. so we know that the story has got a tragic ending. it's national geographic labelled at the front so you know what you're going to see is some spectacular science footage. the pair of them, very much equals who dedicate their lives to going to exploding volcanoes, erupting volcanoes and filming and doing research. and of course you're going to get extraordinary visuals but what the film is also trying to tell you is that this is notjust about volcanoes, this is a love story. here's a clip. alone, that they could only dream of volcanoes,

together they can reach them. they meet on a blind date at a cafe for from here on out life will only be volcanoes, volcanoes, volcanoes. for them the unknown is not something to be feared it is something to go toward. so spectacular footage, and extraordinary story. extraordinary story, the it holds your attention for sure. i could have lived

without narration. yes, i found the voiceover, affray, to me although you're right, it's a love story as well as selling factual issues, am i seeing this to journalistically? to me it's still a documentary and i wanted the script written in a slightly more documentary style, a few harder facts and a tougher narration, i'm afraid. it felt to me weirdly emotionally over ruled. get towards that vern herzog truth kind of narration. the very few people other than herzog can get away with. that said, their story is remarkable. some of the footage is absolutely extraordinary for some of them wearing those silver suits, standing really close. right by it, yes. you going in the film, get back, get back. molten lava. i mean, just for the footage alone and the fact that their story to make and it is a story of equals. they are both bad thing about they couldn't do it alone, they had to do it together. i think that is really, really important. ijust wanted the narration to back off and just let me watch it. i suppose ok, this is the way you would sell it to a

mainstream audience because otherwise, it might seem a little bit niche. there is remarkable stuff in there, itjust didn't need to be told at arm length. it was like that. absolutely. fascinating story but we are on the same page there. but i finally went to see brian and charles. please tell me that you loved brian and charles. idid, yes. absolutely. a couple of hesitations may be about wasn't sure how to end it but fundamentally, i really liked it. there were lots of us in the cinema, everyone was laughing out loud. and that's interesting because a lot of it is funny but it still really touching. the opening sequences, literally just about loneliness and itjust broke me. ok, that for me is the genius of it. yes, it's a story about the guy who builds a robot out of the washing machine and a manikin head. why? because he's lonely.

his inventing shed and he's inventing all these crazy things. and then he almost accidentally builds his best friend. and then doesn't quite know how to deal with the best friend going. my favourite thing was when the robot charles becomes an adolescent and says i'm going to sit in the front of the car. no you're yes i am, front, front, front. i mean, i thought all that stuff was lovely. it's a low budget, it's made with such a lot of heart. it's really made with love, that's where i felt. it felt like a passion project but that's how it comes across in the best possible way. it is a passion project life as a standup act and then a short film and i've been banging the drum for it for a few weeks with a am so glad you liked it because otherwise we would've had to stop speaking. it's just so charming. it is, that's a good word. properly charming. it is. on the subject of re—issues, paris texas is back in cinemas. they've been doing this series of reissues. this is probably the most celebrated

canned prize winner, superb canne prize winner, superb soundtrack. the film, if you are of a certain age in the 80s you had to have a poster for paris in texas on your wall. and it was that picture. that picture. you have to have the soundtrack album, you have to have a discussion about how does it fit in? there is a very good documentary motion and emotion which talks about his entire career and how this film sits in it. had have you seen paris texas in the cinema? well, maybe i was at university but so long ago. you are allowed to graduate if he hadn't seen it. it was a course requirement. it didn't matter if you do a mechanical engineering, you had to see paris in texas without its back in cinemas and it's worth seeing. just nice to have seen the movies back on the big screen again. all right, fantastic. interesting week.

you loved brian and charles. enjoy your cinema going. see you next time. bye— bye. some clouds and sunshine may be rated around as well. will see the cloud increasing across many inland areas today. this is the cloud significant in the west. that's bringing rain into northern ireland. during tonight that wet weather will push over the i receive for a while affecting the northern isles and england but south it will be dry. quite a warm start to the weekend, temperatures around 60 degrees was up for the northern parts of the uk we start cloudy with some rain, that rain trending to peter, directing its way into england and wales. it will be mostly across west wales that will see any rain. many other areas drive. some sunshine and warmth in the south—east again, temperature is 26, 20 7 degrees with some rain, that rain trending to peter, directing its way into england and wales. it will be mostly across west wales that will see any rain. many other areas drive. some sunshine and warmth in the south—east again, temperature is 26, 20 7 degrees without it should be turning drier
