Film 2019 has been cancelled. The BBC says "In 2019 we will be creating an enhanced offer for lovers of film both on television and online.". Kermode Uncut has ended. Co-incidence?
I thought Dirty Grandpa would be about 3 or 4 on this list after the way Kermode stuck the boot into it. What was going through De Niro's mind when he agreed to do that?
@@paulhirst3966 A desperate attempt to stay relevant, perhaps? That's the only excuse I can think of lol but it's tragic that someone of DeNiro's legendary status should have to stoop to that.
I am definitely going to miss these. Along with the review videos, watching the uncut videos cemented themselves in my weekly routine. I am glad the reviews will carry on
Kermode: Pain & Gain, I ain't never watching it again. Not never. Dr. Sanchez: My aunt saw Pain & Gain, she said it's quite good. Kermode: Well, she's wrong.
Goodbye, blog! I'm sorry to see this go. On a positive note, I still haven't seen SatC2 but have several times enjoyed your review of it. Thank you very much for your videos!
If Mark has not got the time to do uncut anymore, i can understand that. But i love these best and worst lists of his, its a real shame their will be no more.
Thanks Mark. I dip in and out of these vlogs every so often. Found some of my favourite films through your recommendations. Films like Dougal & the Blue Cat, The Man Who Fell to Earth, The Red Turtle and many more. You have a great presenting style too! All the best.
Honestly I quite liked the show, different from what I normally watch but the 1st film was overly long & that cut didn't translate well to big screen, yet to watch 2 & I know everyone hates it but I just HAVE to for completion as we won't get a 3rd thanks to how bad 2 was + Cattrall ain't cool with SJP (thankfully for Kermode's blood pressure)
What?! No?! You're my favourite film vlog channel and the Uncuts were the best part of the best channel. I never would've discovered Sorcerer without them.
@@kermodeandmayo Phew, thats a relief, but still going to miss all the great random recommendations I got from the Uncuts. Thanks for the great decade.
You know it's funny how time passes, when I was a kid mark kermode was all about rocking my big Brother's black leather jacket... now he's all about rocking my father's Carhartt jacket.
Very sad to see the end of Kermode Uncut: you and Alex Cox were pretty much my intro to interesting movies. Hope to see you moving on to something else soon.
I went into Pain & Gain with a tertiary knowledge of the events on which it was based. I'd seen no trailer and I didn't know it was Michael Bay's. I acknowledge that my awareness of the 'Sun Gym murders' led me to thinking that the movie was going to be a drama. But even factoring that in, I still find it hard to believe that a filmmaker would take such a horrific series of events and turn it into a zany, madcap torture/snuff comedy. Two people were murdered and one person survived. He was portrayed in the movie as subhuman scum, presumably to make his torture more acceptable to the audience. Bay should have been dragged through the courts. One of the worst movies I've ever seen.
Sad to see this end. I think there's plenty to come yet though from you Mark (I hope). Thank you for keeping us entertained as well as informed over the last 10 years. Good luck.
As a former English literature Major, I understand that depth of commitment required to clock oneself with, even, the condensed version of the Oxford English Dictionary. Well done, Sir!
Pain and Gain is the film that taught me that I don’t have finish a film once I’ve started it: knowing nothing about it other than the recommendation of a friend, I went to the cinema, and after about an hour finally had to leave in disgust.
Dirty Grandpa was also horrible. By the way: Thank you Mark for ten great years of Kermode Uncut. You're my favourite filmcritic. Best wishes from Germany.
The thing about Pain and Gain is that....I think it's competently made....but.....it's just....immoral, amoral....the way Bay treated this tragedy as a farce is just appalling
Sad to see Uncut go. Wish you could do a last farewell episode w your band or something. A lot of devoted fans are going to miss this. And I hate to see the final film discussed on Kermode Uncut be Entourage. :(
Thank you so much - you'll be missed here but pleased to know you and Simon are continuing. Also, loving the new podcast, great to hear some of the MK3D that we colonial commoners miss out on.
I remember going to see sex and the city 2 with my girlfriend at the time in exchange for going to see Kingdom of the crystal skull the following week. To be honest I don’t know which film I hated more, at least I expected the former to be repugnant but the latter broke my heart.
A real shame this is the end of the Kermode Uncut vlogs. I really enjoyed this videos and it was always a treat to hear what you considered the best and worst films of each year. It's been great fun!
Hey Mark, don’t know if you read the comments, I usually don’t myself or comment at all. Just wanted to thank you for Kermit Uncut which I have really enjoyed in the two years that you have been one of my favorite film critics of all time. Thanks again and I am very glad there will still be years of Mark Kermode giving us his take on the latest releases.
I can only guess that Mark has blocked out his entire experience of watching Dirty Grandpa. I knew Pain & Gain and Entourage would be at or near the top, but I really thought that Dirty Grandpa would beat them out. Watch his review; not only is the contempt there for the film itself and the anger at the (lack of) soul behind it, but the fact that it involves two actors he genuinely likes and (usually) respects makes him sound actually depressed and sick at heart to even have to say their names and discuss their performances in something he finds so loathsome, and which he so clearly wants to purge from his brain and his soul (and apparently the entire collective human consciousness, which is the only explanation I can think of for how it didn't end up in this top 10 at all.)
I am 100% on board with the secondary infection hypothesis. I run a website called Million Monkey Theater which is devoted to skewering bad, mostly genre films. There are films that are enjoyably bad, films that are forgettably bad and then there are films that are bad in ways that are absolutely infuriating. Sometimes the moral underpinnings are viscerally repugnant, sometimes the concepts or ideas are genuinely intriguing but are maddeningly squandered through the incompetence of the filmmakers, sometimes it's a particular character whose acting or persona gets under the skin, but for a movie to truly enrage me it has to be more than merely bad--it also has to somehow offend on a personal level. You can't get truly pissed off about a movie unless you're seriously and emotionally invested in the craft, and it's that emotional connection that I admire so much in your review style. Plus you did so much to make sure Ken Russell's "The Devils" wasn't buried and forgotten. It's my favorite film and I'm eternally grateful for the work you've put in to ensure its place in film history. Thanks for this series and thanks for your contributions to film criticism!
Sad to see Kermode Uncut come to an end, and on a sour note too. Would have liked to have seen the last one be about something he loves, the Poppins movies for example. Though I’m externally grateful for Mark taking the bullet and sparing us from these terrible movies. I have never, nor ever want to see anything from that list! So, thanks again Mark.
Sad to see Kermode Uncut go! You could still do Top 10 lists once a year though (Which I'm sure everyone would greatly encourage and appreciate). Either way, thank you for this series.
Sorry to be that awful pedant (especially on such a trivial matter as the SATC movies), but the clips shown here during the Sex and the City 2 segment are taken from the first movie instead which, while certainly not a classic of cinema, is nowhere near as migraine-inducing as its sequel.
