Kermode Uncut: I Mark... your homework

From: Kermode Uncut, www.bbc.co.uk/markkermode. Called to task for my neglect of your ever welcome and typically inspiring contributions to Kermode Uncut I herewith respond to thoughts on such abiding matters as the adjectival relevance of the term "feelgood" to certain entertainments so described, and the veracity of blaring movie poster quotes which, it is observed, include a spectacularly unlikely "Smash Hit Comedy of the Year".

Kermode Uncut: Me and Me and Orson Welles

From: Kermode Uncut, www.bbc.co.uk/markkermode. With Zac Efron as the titular "Me", this beautifully nuanced, studied, and hugely rewarding take on Orson Welles's game changing production of Julius Caeser at New York's Mercury Theatre in 1937 is a must see: but is it really, as one critic said, "The Feel Good Film of the Year"? And what does that phrase even mean? Man alive!
