Mark Kermode on Terminator 4

Sometimes it's nice to see grumping done by professionals. And this professional is at the top of his game.

Cinema Choices

Until Friday it had never even occurred to me that I would want to see Angels and Demons. I mean, it's a Dan 'Fucking' Brown novel. I picked up the Da Vinci Code once and couldn't get more than a couple of pages into it: it's a worse read - stylistically anyway - than Richard Littlejohn's Magnum Opus 'To Hell in a Handcart'. Which is an achievement of sorts, I suppose.

However, after seeing a couple of reviews, like Xan Brooks', in which we are told that Tom Hanks plays an academic 'with a PhD in expository dialogue,' and most particularly Mark Kermode's vivid depiction of the film, frankly how could I not see it? Anti-matter in the Vatican? That's practically Pride and Prejudice and Zombies territory...

The Man, the Myth*, the Boom-Stick, Bruce Campbell is interviewed by Mayo and Kermode here.

Well, what are you primitives waiting for? Do you want to kiil me or kiss me? Blow.

Update: having had a listen now, I can confirm that you should hear about the inspiration for a particular scene involving a disabled man in the upcoming movie My Name is Bruce



Oh, and there's an interview with Terry Gilliam too.
