Outspoken, opinionated and never lost for words, Mark is the UK's leading film critic. This twice-weekly video blog is the place where he airs his personal views on the things that most fire him up about cinema - and invites you to give your own opinions. 2016-05-06T12:54:41+00:00 Zend_Feed_Writer https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/markkermode
