  Goode slams Leap Year

  • 25 Feb 2010

  Matthew Goode has slammed his new movie Leap Year as "turgid" - insisting the Amy Adams movie will be labelled "the worst film of 2010."

  Dooley Wilson was wrong. A kiss is never just a kiss. If it's caught on camera and projected on a screen the size of a house, that's doubly true. The famous American critic Pauline Kael called one of her books "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang". If I remember rightly I think she used it in reference to James Bond, but as Kael knew full well, the phrase sums up a big part of why we go to a whole lot of movies.
