Call of Civic Duty 2 11:56am on 19 Nov 2009 Why is Lawrence Fishburn Charlie Brooker? I do not understand, could you please clarify this good doctor!
Screening Room: Disaster! 11:58pm on 13 Nov 2009 The most effective disaster movie is the TV film 'Threads'. Despite the fact it was made in the 1980s, it is still exceptionally harrowing and nihilistic by today's standards. You don't need CGI to portray pure and simple human extinction.

What could be more effective than a disaster movie which was banned for simply being 'too realistic'?
The Best Christmas Movie Ever 11:47pm on 13 Nov 2009 Black Christmas is easily the best xmas flick.

The goody goody message of togethering is completely torn appart by a serial killer. Am I the only person who empathises with him?
Reviews Bonanza: Anvil, Gran Torino and Che Part Two 4:18pm on 04 Mar 2009 Dear Mark,

I often hear from critics that Clint Eastwood's direction is 'unfussy' but what exactly is meant by this.

Could you define specifically how his direction is 'unfussy' with some examples and perhaps compare his work to someone who you consider to be a 'fussy' director?
Review: The Reader 6:22pm on 13 Jan 2009 Did anyone else think Kate Winslet's acceptance speech at the globes was a bit, sickly? over rehearsed? fake?
The Kermodes: Make Your Case 5:33pm on 13 Jan 2009 It's fairly amusing how Kermode means bedpan.

I was reminded of this fact as I was watching 'Half Ton Son' the other night where an extremely obese teenager screamed out in pain whilst he was on the toilet
exclaiming "I cannot work with this Kermode" or a phrase along those lines

Therefore the awards are effectively called 'the toilet awards' LOL

Now I've got your attention being the 47th comment and all I think 'King of Kong', the startling documentary from last year which you have never even mentioned, could desperately do with at least a nomination.

I know it won't beat your cherished Of Time and the City but it reawakened a subculture I’m sure we had no idea existed. 100% character driven it proved to us that the greatest achievement portrayed on the silver screen last year was not tightrope walking between the twin towers but in fact reaching the final level of Donkey Kong!

The Boxing Day Movie: This Year it's Australia 01:00am on 28 Dec 2008 Dear Mr. Kermode I am a really big fan and have had a number of letters read out on your Radio 5 Live show.

I am a budding film critic and would like you and all your fans who watch this blog to also check out mine:

Any feedback would be most welcome as would any advice on becoming a critic!
