about... the second jobs per se it's about... professional. it's the amount of time, isn't it? that's the problem. some people argue he should have second jobs at all but actually if you're a doctor, a teacher, a lawyer, a criminal barrister in the criminal court is of value to do that for example. clearly if you're spending all your time or a large chunk here time that's obviously... sorry. it's part of the generate cox thing is a generational thing, there was a time when being an mp was thought of as a part—time job. and the hours of the house were designed purposely, they no longer are but you started at two o'clock so you could do anotherjob in the morning. particularly if you are in court. now it's different for to put somebody like jeffrey was a hang now it's different for to put somebody likejeffrey was a hang on a minute, i'm a barristerfirst, i am an mp and do it was required but he doesn't preserve it so he might perceive it in the same way. m0. he doesn't preserve it so he might

hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this weeks cinema releases, mark kermode is with me as ever. what have you been watching, mark? well, we have the new clint eastwood film, cry macho, which i know you are particularly looking forward to. we have mothering sunday, adapted from a novella developed from greg swift. and lin—manuel miranda's tick, tick...boom! i have nothing against clint eastwood nothing at all. no, no. he's made some great films. he has made some great films. this isn't one of them. ok, so, this is adapted from a novel, actually life as a screenplay, could be sold as a screen turned into a novel, then suddenly film companies wanted
11:48 pm
it, nothing happened. it's been around for ages, at one point schwarzenegger was attached to it. anyway, clint eastwood is mike, one—time rodeo start who sent to mexico by his former boss to retrieve his son who the boss says is living with his mother, is completely completely unsuitable i need to go to mexico. he says, why, why should i do it chris back and he says, because you owe me. i stood by you when your life fell apart. clint being clint goes, 0k, sounds fine. so he goes to mexico. in no time at all, finds the mother, finds a son and starts heading back to the border but then discovers he is being tracked by the federales and gangs. so he has to hole up in a small town where he is looked after in a cantina and gets to teach the boy about horse riding. here's a clip. look where you going and go away looking. good. put your heels down. heels down, yeah, don't look like a sack of potatoes.
11:49 pm
you're dads going to be a happy man, i could see that. i'll see you in a bit. yes. so the film is called cry macho because the young boy has a cockerel called macho, he's in cockfighting. him and which is actually how clint eastwood finds him in the beginning. that is pretty much the one interesting part of the screenplay, the name. beyond that it's just a series of every cliche you could possibly imagine. firstly, every woman clint eastwood meets falls in love with him immediately, comes onto him. even though they are decades younger. none of that matters, he's clint when they turn up in a small town, it's like a picture postcard town, there's a cantina thatjust happens to have a widowed woman it who immediately takes one look at clint eastwood and this young child and takes them in, offering them food and bed in lodging and support. they are conveniently as the person has the horses and horses may breaking and happily clink and show. you go 0k, breaking and happily clink and show. you go ok, this was written by a computer, you go shift alt, balding, sawn, neo— western, though. it's
11:50 pm
written by writers on grand torino. look, clint eastwood in his time has been a great film—maker, really great film—maker, incredibly economical. like a textbook great film—maker. this is really poor was of its clich d and hackneyed and dull. the only thing that kinda stops you getting cross about it is it is so insipid that it's impossible to get annoyed about it. i did try but i couldn't get enthusiasm. no. 0k. is mothering sunday much better? it is. essentially it's a story of a woman becoming a writer. different. some of the main periods as a 20, at this a young age there child who works in a young age there child who works in a house, both families have suffered losses through world war ii. she's having an affair with paul. but the
11:51 pm
relationship has no future because he is betrothed to somebody of equal status with up now, it may look from the outside like a kind of glom, upstairs, downstairs at downton abbey hybrid, it's nothing of the sort. it's a story about passion and grief and rebirth and artistic creativity. it's very frank in its depiction of intimacy without ever being gratuitous. a really interesting director commerce terrific scriptwriter. hauntingly films. the most brilliant scorer. i did feel i need to see it twice to get the measure. the first time i like to come of the second time it really struck me as being very, very well done and very moving. as i said, the story is told in different type. some shoveled really well. it is not the film that the poster makes it look like, it's much more full—blooded than that. i think you'd like it too. i be interested to know what you think.-

inability to get a musical produce. clearly lynn manuel miranda loves the stuff is of andrew garfield is terrific. you think it be doing musical theatre forever. apparently when he was asked if he could sing he said, when do i need to do a? he they said a year. in that case he said yes. he learned pretty much from scratch. it feels very stage he, reminded bbee of times at boys in the band. which is always been better onstage than on screen. again that's, a lot of contrivance in. onstage it feels unnatural but i liked it and it's a very interesting story. it's cinemas now and netflix. i said two suspects is primary audience will beat netflix. sometimes it's a little bit like dilate just a bit. sometimes it's a little bit like dilatejust a bit. a, sometimes it's a little bit like dilate just a bit.— sometimes it's a little bit like dilate just a bit. a bit like “azz hands. intriguing. * dilate just a bit. a bit like “azz hands. intriguing. and i dilate just a bit. a bit like jazz hands. intriguing. and your. dilate just a bit. a bit like jazz - hands. intriguing. and your choice as best out? _ hands. intriguing. and your choice as best out? you _ hands. intriguing. and your choice as best out? you want _ hands. intriguing. and your choice as best out? you want to - hands. intriguing. and your choice as best out? you want to see - as best out? you want to see spencer- — as best out? you want to see spencer- i — as best out? you want to see spencer. i did. _ as best out? you want to see spencer. i did. tell— as best out? you want to see spencer. i did. tell me. - as best out? you want to see spencer. i did. tell me. i- as best out? you want to see - spencer. i did. tell me. i thought
