( image taken from the web page below)

In this programme we look at another stage of reviewing a film, giving your opinion. We take examples from BBC film reviewer Mark Kermode who has a very direct and entertaining way of describing movies he likes or doesn't like.

We then have an outline and review of the new film 'The Constant Gardener' which stars Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz.
