Mark Kermode - Mr & Mrs Smith

Mark reviews Mr and Mrs Smith. Not one of the better reviews. But the star Wars email at the end is funny.

3:42 ?, he interviewed angelina jolie on the culture show and said that she was a brilliant actress, i am even more confused than him.

Mark should from time to time listen to his past opinions to certain actors/actresses. He certainly cringed in front of Angelina Jolie when he interviewed her when she was promoting CHANGELING. He even in fact praised her performance in HACKERS.

Here i thought i was the only one who thinks that Angelina Jolie is over-rated.

I hate this film, if it was any other stars in the lead roles It wudnt b as big as it is. People only like this film cus they remember it being the film where Brad left Jen for Jolie simple.

HOW THE HELL DOES HE LIKE SPY KIDS????

[DontTouchMyVicodin]

Simon Kinberg whom he mentions wrote the RDJ and Jude Law version of Sherlock Holmes. Or some of it, anyway.

When reviewing Chanling he praises her very much, he has definately changed his tune since A Mighty Heart. But he hates the action films like this or Wanted.

Similarly, Kermode has famously hated Kenneth Branagh for ages until he since Frankenstein and is now a large fan. Also this is true of Emma Thompson (who he now claims to be his favourite actress)

So it's fair to say that his opinion can be changed if you do something of actual worth.

is the answer raging bull?

@Raymint actually you make a good point, he never used to like Keira or Guy, however he kinda does now. however, he did praise Girl Interrupted in that interview.

[damselwithadulcimer]

@tornhill1 Changeling was three years after this movie. But fair enough, he did also praise her in Girl, Interrupted.

[Raymint]

@mtisit Yeah but Mark Kermode "don't bend that way". He did just happen to be interviewing her for a very good performance - proving wrong everything he'd previously thought about her. But other than that, he did bring up 'Tomb Raider', this film, and a bunch of other not so flattering moves in her career. He ain't no coward.

[Raymint]

@ec123456789able This was before 'A Mighty Heart'. In fact since then he's developed a huge amount of respect for her. He behaves and speaks a in a very honest manner so all it ever takes is you showing your worth for him to take back everything he said about you, right there on the air ... and in his blogs. Guy Ritchie and Keira Knightly are two examples.
