I just can't get my head around Mark being "alternative" for the sake of it... In spite of my deep respect for him.

Yes, thanks for posting this. Kermode's the man. His picks are right on. However, I'm not as cross as he is against the Oscars this year because, if The Artist wins, which it should, it's not THAT bad an outcome after all... But some of the nominees (like Extremely Earnest and Incredibly Grating ...

Still can't get over him not winning the Oscar for Magnolia... To me, it's his best work EVER on film. The best. The work of a true acting professional, and one that has moved me like few others have - much like the movie itself.

Tom Cruise is a great actor. Period.

He's starting to look exactly like his legend of a dad.

I love how they just stare stone-faced at the Nike parody and leave a brief silence of resignation when it's over. That's Scary Movie 2 in a nutshell.

5 movies that imho should definitely not be in this countdown (I'm not including pre-1969 winners):

- Chariots of Fire; Reds is such a better and more enduring movie.

- Gandhi; the worst winner imo... So rigidly academic and noble...

- Driving Miss Daisy; really? that's the best movie of 1989? No...

@badhead Right, that's what I thought... The review's just missing a conclusion - for slow wits like myself. Because honestly, who could argue with the foulness of these hysterical religious proceedings, especially when they involve young, still naive children.

Tintin was such a subpar flick.

And Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is manipulative, quirksome, tear-grabbing drivel.

Good interview, great film. But I still have trouble with Mr. Miller as an interviewee... He seems quite detached, he has this kind of throbbing, grainy low-pitch voice that makes it hard for the viewer to be transfixed - unlike another guy at this table, Pfister. Too bad, cuz Miller truly is a b...

N'empêche c'est pas mal pour la culture gé.

Je suis Louis 16 soupaaaaapes

À 3:53 Bourdon a trop envie de se marrer... :)

Hellraiser 2 sucks.

Quantum of Solace is not a Bond movie. It just isn't.

Je broirai le sexe à coup de Santiag.

Guillaume Petit-Laurent.

Affleck's haircut in that clip on Jay Leno.... is fu©king HORRENDOUS. Dude's hairline is literally nonexistent.

Malgré les différends qui ont subsisté entre Chirac et Mitterrand - et Dieu sait qu'ils furent nombreux -, Chirac est quand même d'une grande classe dans cette déclaration. Qu'il pense tout ou partie de ce qu'il lit sur le prompteur. Et même très perceptif.

Il s'agit quand même de deux sacrés bon...

Give me a break, "put QT in prison... forever." I mean come on, if what Eli Roth wants to do with his career is to direct depressing drivel like Hostel, that's his problem. But don't start blowing the whole thing out of proportion just because Tarantino has a producing cred... His movies are ligh...

Tavernier's english is so good... Now that is a truly great film veteran. He's so not like some snooty french directors (I'm french; I've heard a lot of directors from my country talk out of their ass. À la Godard; cue the recent interviews for Film Socialisme) of his generation. You gotta respec...

"I was all wet on the Lord of the Rings"?... Doesn't that sound.... awkward?

Kermode is the spitting image of Bryan Singer.

"A one-foot-in-the-grave award"... F*****g GENIUS.

These guys are my personal heroes.... but they blow at Oscar predictions. Always have. xD

He goes to the john a lot.

The only redeeming feature of this trailer is that dope-ass beat at the beginning. Anyone know what it is?

Ooooh, do I disagree with this review... In spite of all the respect I have for the Good Doctor. There are many, MANY opinions of his that I violently disagree with, incidentally. He has that way of being so dismissive of some movies which I happen to be very attached to. This is one of those exa...

The henchman's leap at 5:59 is so unwarranted, it's HI-larious.

I'm sorry, but there's an admittedly obvious reason why Steven Seagal movies are insufferable...

The reesskee-ESQUE, the rissQUÈ...the Burr-LESQff....... He gets the RissQUÈ-est number, in the fill-um.

Love it.

So 90's...

I agree with the Ebster about The Doors.

Towards the end, it feels like he'd been noticing how much the chick was amused (charmed) by his rant, and consequently he kind of veers into gratuitous exuberance... Not only is it a Kermodian rant (which is fine, I love near all of'em), but it's a cranked up, caricatured kermodian rant.

Just t...

Adam Sandler needs to be spoken to in harsh terms.

0:07 Ga'Hooooooooole...

Reese Witherspoon can be a talented, fun and interesting actress; when she's in Freeway, Legally Blonde (say what you will about that movie, its success rests entirely on her shoulders), and Walk the Line (although incidentally I don't think she was the best lead actress in 2005).

Owen Wilson can...

You know what this show would have needed ?

Mark Kermode from radio 5 in the UK (go check out videos if name doesn't ring a bell). The best there is in terms of wittiness, spark, presence, charisma, and film nerd-ism.

He and Roeper duking it out (since obviously Roger can no more) would have been...
