"He was eaten by a spider".

I love the fact that Mark can be one of the most impartial critics in the world - he liked Twilight for example because it filled it's niche - but all his rationality and logical approach to a film goes out the window when confronted by the horror... of Julian Sands.

Best review of Mr Bean's Holiday ever.

IT'S JULIAN SANDS!!!

trying to find a review of 'Sweet November' really awful film but Jason Isaacs is in it and he plays a transvestite - I'd just like to know what Mark thinks of it seeing as his favourtie person is in it.

mark fails to mention how much bloody fun the actors are having in the film. though it is basically a shot for shot remake of ocean's 11, it is nonetheless a fun time. it's utterly inconsequential and pointless, but it is a celebration of celebrity and glamor and the entire (excellent) cast is well aware of this. you have to look at soderbergh's career to accurately appraise the film. it's 2 hours of unbridled fun and nothing else, and he pulls it off remarkably.
The idea that critics are just failed artists is rubbish. Some are but Kermode is somebody who knows film inside and out. Unlike many critics, he also serves as a historian, providing contemporary films with the context they require to judge them correctly. I don't always agree with him but I'm glad he is around promoting good standards for cinema.
