Mark Kermode Reviews Last Days

2005 was not a great year for the Good Doctor: He had to endure the infantile Manson worship of The Devil's Rejects, the first Terry Gilliam heartbreak with The Brothers Grimm, the infuriating schmaltz of Elizabethtown, the glamorization of football hooliganism with Green Street, and of course, the numerological Kabbalistic claptrap that was Guy Ritchie's Revolver.

But none of these films got under Dr. Kermode's skin like Last Days, his worst film of 2005.

if you want to watch a film simply to watch shit happen, you might as well watch Twilight or Scary Movie. if you want to see a film with substance and exploration, watch Van Sant's films, or any other decent art house director.

@raskolnikov456 "if you want to watch a film simply to watch shit happen," you mean like Last Days?

[gingerjames86]

haha funny as hell. I just watched drugstore cowboy and thought that was pretty weak, everyone goes on about gus van sant but has he made any good films? the ony other one I have seen is his psycho remake and the less said about that the better.

To Die For has its moments. Elephant is brilliant; it's like Last Days but good.

thanks for uploading these Kermode rants on shitty movies :)

This is so funny!

[DB3457]

this film is rather good in terms of fitting to Kurt Cobain - arrogant, 1 dimensional, and mistakes itself for a higher importance

I love how Kermode tries to think of the greatest films of all time and all he can come with is 'Citizen Kane, The Exorcist and Mary Poppins'.

[WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

"Is he gonna make the macaroni cheese?"

@l4dyvenge4nce I didn't say his opinion is law, I disagree with him about many things, but saying he 'doesn't get it' is a stupid argument. It's such a pathetic cop out. And there is a certain irony in you accusing critics of only liking obscure, arty shit in defense of a film that is obscure, arty shit. When he's on form, Van Sant is a great director, and we get films like Elephant and Drugstore Cowboy. When he isn't, we get crap like Last Days and Restless.

[l4dyvenge4nce]

@MrKeepitunderyourhat wow a film critic, in my experience of film critics they only like obscure, arty shit that no one except film critics like. But hey as he is a film critic he must be god of movies, his opinion is law... yada, yada, yada. Fool.

[MrKeepitunderyourhat]

@l4dyvenge4nce Yes, the most trusted and successful film critic in the country doesn't understand it... Of course.

[l4dyvenge4nce]

the only reason this prick is ranting about this movie is because he doesn't understand it. what a dick.

[FilmsByFerguson]

I didn't LOVE "Last Days," but I certainly didn't hate it as much as Kermode did.

Kurt deserved better

I like how the end of the video's url is the word "Cow"
