Hey, do you have his review for Last Days, by any chance?

[TulseLuper]

I don't unfortunately.

So I recently got ahold of the Last Days review and I just uploaded it.

I should watch this film to judge for myself but I remember seeing a brief TV ad for this film and thinking, "Kermode isn't going to like this."

orlando bloom and kursten dunst? no thanks

[socnet89]

Quirky and perky.

[MoonIightGraeme]

This movie looks awful, Orlando Bloom played by a chest of draws and Kirsten Dunst played by Fern Cotten.

Kermode and Mayo are a great comedy duo

[FranBMan22]

I wish Mayo would stop trolling.

@reservoirdog666 I like Kirsten Dunst

[ciaracustard]

Wasn't Kirsten going out with the twat from Razorlight about then? This review is so funny.

[JLDoggard]

"Key of life"? WTF?

[projectcyclops]

I heard this review a while back and still gave the film a chance based on Crowe's earlier work... wish I'd listened to Mark, he's bang on target, it's a total mess, a true stinker. But it's always good to hear an old school Kermode rant again.

I know and agree with the idea that you should see something before you criticise it. But there are always exceptions, and I can say without fear of being wrong, that this is a complete shite film.
