Items related to Hatchet Job: Love Movies, Hate Critics
Mark Kermode admits to having changed his mind about some movies and possibly about his approach to reviewing altogether. In this musing on the history of film criticism he tells the stories of famous hatchet jobs and director-journalist spats, wonders whether the democratization of reviewing through the internet will result in better films and asks if the days of the professional critics slating are over.
