review, on bbc news to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark consider mode. is almost becoming a habit. what have you got for us this week. it is strange. we have the little stranger the little stranger. we have a simple favor, i know you are going to see it this weekend so you are looking forward to the review. can't wait. and the house with a clock in its walls, a sort of family fantasy with a horror inreflection. 0k. inreflection. ok. so first, the little stranger, is this about a haunts house? the question whether it is haunted is sort of central to it, so it is

based on a novel by sara water, stars domhnall gleeson. he goes to a house where he is called to attend to someone working there, who appears to be ill but he thinks they arejust appears to be ill but he thinks they are just freaked out. appears to be ill but he thinks they arejust freaked out. something has scared them. and it turns out that he went to this house, when he was a child, where his mother worked and he was completely overwhelmed by the house and he fell in love with it. now he goes back, and the house is crumbling, and the people inside the house appear to be coming apart. and eve ryo ne house appear to be coming apart. and everyone is sort of slightly brittle, slightly on edge and there is something creepy going on. here is something creepy going on. here isa is something creepy going on. here is a crepe. how did you find the patient, doctor? miss ayres. mother, this is dr faraday. he thinks we're brutes. a little under the weather. i imagine she'll be quite well by tomorrow. you'll observe a change in betty yet. this house works on people.

girls come here like specks of grit. ten years later, they leave as pearls. i expect dr faraday's thinking betty won't stick it out for ten years. most girls would rather work in factories these days, and who can blame them? as it happens, i was thinking of my mother. she was a maid here before i was born. well, i do hope she enjoyed her time. right, roderick. so there is something is wrong. there is talk about the house being haunted by you know, a, by the little stranger, fantastic performance by ruth wilson there who is somebody who seems to be trapped in the house. it is like the fall of the house of usher. is question is is ita the house of usher. is question is is it a haunting or are people imagining things or is it them projecting their fears on to the house itself? if you have read the

haunting of hill house, the shirley jackson novel, would be the greatest ghost stories written, there is a lot of that in this. one of the problems it has been marketed as a horrorfilm. it is not. it is not a horrorfilm. it is not. it is not a horrorfilm. it is not. it is not a horror film. it's a horrorfilm. it is not. it is not a horrorfilm. it's a drama, which happens to have a ghostly edge and you can read pretty much the whole film in one of two different way, i liked it. i liked the fact it lets the pot simmer rather than boil. it is paced very moderately, it takes it time, it tells the story in an orderly fashion. there is a couple of really terrific performances in it, i think particularly ruth wilson who is great. my only worry is, i think some audiences might grow impatient if they go, thinking it is going to be a ghost story, it will bea going to be a ghost story, it will be a chiller, which is why when you say is it a ghost story, yes, but no. it, you can read it in a number of ways but i thought it was rather well done, and rather impressive in

a very low—key, very understated fashion. it is very spare isn't it, the way it is, the script is stripped back. it builds up tension. you get a sense something is wrong but you are not sure what, and as i said the key to this, is the haunting of hill house, which is the text from all modern ghost stories and it is written large on this. text from all modern ghost stories and it is written large on thislj am and it is written large on this.” am anxious now about the second film which is a simple favor. i have been co—opted by my daughter to go and see this, so, tell me it's a good choice. it is directed by paul feig. feig. andrea kendrick is at school being all perfect and over volunteering, her son makes friends with another child whose mother is blake lively‘s pr executive. they form an unlikely friendship. anna's

friend disappears somebody described this as gone girl's just want to have fun. it wasn't my line, it is a good one but not mine. it's the most crazy mishmash of genres, it is a ditsy romcom, then a thriller, then a whodunnit, the book was described as being like in the mould of gone girland as being like in the mould of gone girl and somebody described it as a post noir comedy, there are times watching it i thought this is the most chaotic film i have ever seen. however, i liked it. and the reason i liked it is because you have two great performances, they, when the film is careering round like a boat tossed on a roaring ocean they keep their eye on the horizon and as long as you stick with them you go with it. it is funny, weird, twisted and you are meant to take it seriously, thenit you are meant to take it seriously, then it is no. seems like channel surfing but you have these two

performance, their sink their teeth in gleefully. it has a nice bite to it. i came out thinking, that was all over the shop, but i liked it. i think all over the shop, but i liked it. ithinki all over the shop, but i liked it. i think i am going to need a lie down after it but i will go and see it. you enjoy it. it. ask as you come out ask yourself what that was about? the house with a clock in its walls. if the cast is anything to go by it should be a treat. very good cast. jack black. cate blanchett, based on a popular book. an orphan kids is sent to stay with his uncle. he isa kids is sent to stay with his uncle. he is a warlock. cate blanchett is the next door neighbour, with whom he has a sparring but ultimately loving relationship. here is a clip. that's a lot of clocks. what constitutes a lot is really a matter of personal taste. for me, it's a perfect amount of clocks. oh, sorry, there's a deranged cuckoo in there.

your rachete wheel's shot and the click spring's not far behind. your rachet wheel's shot and the click spring's not far behind. hello, you're lewis, i presume. how was your trip? this old hag is my next door neighbour, mrs florence zimmerman. i'm relieved to see you didn't inherent your uncle's freakishly oversized head. ha! says the woman who literally looks like a 0 tip. oh look, the giant head is angry. my god, did that withered purple skeletonjust speak? she thinks she's smarter than me because she has more college degrees. no, i think i'm smarter than you because i'm smarter than you. shhhh. the relationship is the most fun of the film. the rest of it, it is directed by eli roth who is nope as a hard—core horror director, and did things like hostel. this is a strange choice for him. i have to say i don't think it works. it, although the source material predates harry potter and those

novel, the film looks very much like, not even post harry potter, it has a lot of special effects but for a film about magic it isn't very magical. the strength doesn't hang together so as the narrative is unfolding, what is the thing with the clock, the back story? so at no point does it do that thing one of the movies needs to do which is to click, oh i'm in a different area, new mel. so it is a mess. one of the strange things is i like you know, films for younger viewers that have a bit of scares in them, i remember thinking that the harry potter movies were hammer movies for younger viewers and i mean that in a good sense because i am a big fan of the hammer movies. this felt all over the place. it is interesting because it has a lot of resource, it has this source material and a very good cast, and special effects, all available to the director and yet it

isa available to the director and yet it is a mess of a film that i think will disappoint more than it will enchant. some people will get some fun out of it because there are some nice mopes particularly in the relationship between the two central adults but beyond that i don't see it having a huge shelf live. best out is a palestinian drama. yes, i liked this. this was the palestinian entry for the palestinian oscar, it is the story of father and son travelling round nazareth but they are handing out wedding invitation which they have to do by hand, that is the duty of the title. and as they travel around, you discover their relationship, how they have fallen out. one has gone away, one is young, one is old, there is resentment and yet it is funny, very subtle, it is kind of bitter in some place, it blends the personal and political. it is very low—key, and i thought it was wonderful. it did the thing i want a film to do, which is to intrigue me about the characters andi to intrigue me about the characters and i thought it was really good. it

is called wajib. if you get a chance check it out. and best dvd is the bread winner hand drawn. check it out. and best dvd is the bread winner hand drawnm check it out. and best dvd is the bread winner hand drawn. it is an animation. it is made by the people who made song of the sea. this has cut outs and hand drawns and different forms of animation. it is the story of a young girl in kabul whose father and brother are arrested and leaving only women in the house. women are not allowed to go out on their own, so she has to disguise herself as a boy to go out into the town, and suddenly she discovered this whole new world. it is brilliant. it deals dark subject matter but in a way that is accessible. they have made it so it can be watched by viewers of all ages. there is tough stuff in it though. i thought it was brilliant. as ever thank you very much. much. do ask yourself what was that all

about? i expect to be bamboozled. a quick reminder before you go you will find more film news an reviews online. and you can find all of our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. thanks for watching. bye. good evening, today has been a day of sunshine an showers with strong and cold winds but they have been driving the showers down through the irish sea, across the cheshire gap, over the last few hourers they will ease away overnight, with a little ridge of high pressure. but, there is more rain come to in the forecast tomorrow. but enjoy the beautiful start for many. lots of sunshine round, yes, chilli, we will see the cloud quickening and the rain into
