Well, I absolutely love people reviewing films who obviously have little interest or understanding of what makes a film worthwhile, in addition to breaking the golden rule of film reviews when actually discussing the end of the movie!

Nice move PD James - thank heavens they were not discussing the Sixth Sense.

Having watched a several Newsnight reviews on everything from books to movies to videogames consoles it seems the show delights in choosing people for the show who have little understanding of the subject they have been asked to review.

In addiiton, the majority of reviewers seem to sneer and mock things they do not understand, as though they are above it all.

Please get your guest Anthony Horowitz's name right! (or is Horowitch a character from one of his novels?) And do have him on again; he added a certain something to the panel.

Just a reminder... you forgot to put the handcuffs on Michael Gove - again!

He has obviously been to the Conservatives' school of Performing Arts, and has received the stock advice - when speaking, ALWAYS look as if you are holding an imaginary beachball (see M Howard et al).

How annoying these laughable gesticulations are - have YOU ever met anyone in normal social circles who behaves this way, illustrating every verb with yet more bizarre gestures...? No, nor have I, but then I don't know any politicians, and have never met anyone who does. Funny that, considering they represent us - or do they?
Discuss.

The review of the V&A surreal things exhibition was so disappointing. It seemed as though none of the reviewers had the slightest interest in the surreal nor did they have the required knowledge to tackle this subject. In addition, from what was presented on Newsnight Review, the exhibition itself appears to present surrealism as a historical movement that had no deeper underlying philosophy and fails utterly to present any understanding of the surreal. I am disappointed that the review made no effort to place the exhibition in context with the incredible surreal work being made today by people including Ernst Fuchs, Kris Kuksi, Alex Grey, Carrie-Anne Baade, Bernard Dumaine to suggest just a few ... Come on ... surrealism has a vibrant and talented community that deserves much more than this. The surreal community isn't just about art galleries and investment opportunities, it is art for the people and by the people ... try reviewing this:-

The comments here are rather negative. I thought Michael Gove was excellent, as he always is - one of the real intellectual contributors to the show. P.D. James is always good. Not such a fan of Rowan Pelling, but it was a pretty good edition and she was fine.
