>> all right. had to get that in. thanks, matt. imperfect produce. you can visit wltx.com for more information. coming up, since it's looking like a rainy weekend you may want to hit the movie theater but before you do, hear leo smith's movie review after the break. kids, listen up. you will need your rain jackets and a warm coat for this

"revenant." >> i did like this one. it's kind of funny you said we've got a rainy weekend going on because this movie had some very dreary weather going on in it.

"revenant," the new movie they have been talking about. if you have been watching trailers on tv, they talk about how it's supposed to be nominated for all these big award and everything. it's done by director alejandro gonzalez enuritu, i know one of your favorites -- >> of course, top of the list! [ laughter ] >> nerds like me know who he is. he had a strong contender last year with "birdman." he didn't win but -- no i think it did. he may have another good one this year. the only thing is this one may just be too graphic. life wouldn't always easy in the old west, especially when hunting in unwelcome territory. such was the case for frontiersman hugh glass. times it could be downright

[ bear roaring, man screaming ] >> reporter: after being mistakenly left for dead, glass must slowly put his shattered remains together while patting mother nature and his adversaries but ironically, his fearsist rival is one of his very own. fitzgerald's agenda makes him the target of glass' revenge. the desire for justice fuels our hero with a will to live that would have been likely left for the serenity of death. >> i'm not afraid to die any anymore. i'm done it already. >> reporter: stories of survival can be brutal when we're expose to the harsh realities of what one must eat and do to stay alive. in this expect, "the revenant" compromises nothing. from begin to end, we're treat to a grisly, gruesome rachel that may be hard for some viewers to take and to his credit, dicaprio sacrificed

his most authentic performance ever. i'm a huge fan of long tracking shots, and the director has once again raised his own personal standard. his relentless work ethic is sure to be recognized over the next few months during award season. the squeamish may revolt, but the steadfast will revel in "the revenant." so it's clearly one that i liked but, you know i can't recommend it to everybody because many people want to see a will ferrell move movie. >> i know you're talking about me. >> i didn't say anyone in particular. >> specifically pointing finger. >> i may have winked at you. >> you said they want to keep it realistic. >> they did and it was frightingly realistic. you know, the theater had a lot of people in it and from what i could tell, they looked as into

it's probably going to do exactly what they're hoping for and really pull people in. >> all right, leo smith, thank you so much for that review. now we'll send it over to ephraim for a check of the weather. hey, savannah. today may be a good day to see the movie because we have some light rainfall moving throughout the midlands in the western and southern midland. right now the heavy rainfall is moving through areas of northern aiken county, northeastern aiken county into southern and western lexingngn unty. the rain is starting to move in, light rainfall in saluda and western newberry county. orangeburg has been hit or miss from norway all the way to utahville so temperatures aren't chilly. 46 columbia, 45 lexington, 43 in camden. we will continue rainfall throughout the morning into the midday but by midday will start to break up and by later this
