  • lol, what his kermode doing in that photo at the end?

  • @clockworkscott All I know is that he's with Andy Serkis there. As he's taking a bow, I always use it as the final photo in these.

  • I love ya Mark, but the best line in that movie is *deep breath* NOT THE BEES!!!

  • @JamesOhGoodie Well remember, "Not the Bees" is part of the alternate ending that is only avaliable on DVD. I saw the film in theatres for a laugh and it cut that whole scene out, opting to have "Killing me won't bring back your goddamn honey" in voiceover.

  • nicolas cage isn't a chameleon. he acts the same in each movie.

  • Nicholas Cage is a crashing bore

  • Always interestedin a Kermodia rant but thre is no way you could make an interesting Wicker man film in my opinion becaue the original one was so boring anyway. Its just Edward Woodward banging on about God and Jesus, Christopher Lee coming on in stentatorian fashion and banging about how he believes in spirits. There were some good set pieces, like the women trying to tempt Woodward, but the characters were so wooden and one dimensional I just didn't care when Woodward was killed.

  • @TheHuntress144 They're in my eyes, oh god, there in my eyes!

  • Oh God, not the critics! NOT THE CRITICS! Blaaaarglarglarglarglar pfffth pfffth ahhhhhhhrgh.

  • the idea of replacing it with men vs women was not a bad one but the execution was atrocious

  • I'm surprised he didn't mention the bearsuit or sidekicking teenage girls.

  • The bees, not the beessssss arggggghhhh

  • Yes, the remake was a pile of cack, but the searing reviews are wonderful. I can almost forgive the remake, 'cos it let Mark Kermode do his thing on it.

  • wicker man (2006) sucks cow pat.
