It’s Only a Movie: Reel Life Adventures of a Film Obsessive
In It’s Only a Movie, the incomparable Mark Kermode takes us into the weird world of a life lived in widescreen. Join him as he gets lost in Russia on the trail of a low-budget horror flick, gasp as he’s shot at in Hollywood while interviewing Bavarian director Werner Herzog, cheer as he gets thrown out of the Cannes film festival for heckling in very bad French, and cringe as he’s handbagged by Helen Mirren at London’s glitzy BAFTA Awards. Written with sardonic wit and wry good humour, this compelling cinematic memoir is genuinely ‘inspired by real events’.
The Good, The Bad and The Multiplex: What’s Wrong with Modern Movies?
If blockbusters make money no matter how bad they are, then why not make a good one for a change?
How can 3-D be the future of cinema when it’s been giving audiences a headache for over a hundred years?
Why pay to watch films in cinemas that don’t have a projectionist but do have a fast-food stand?
And, in a world where Sex and the City 2 was a hit, what are film critics even for?
Outspoken, opinionated and hilariously funny, The Good, The Bad and The Multiplex is a must for anyone who has ever sat in an undermanned, overpriced cinema and wondered: ‘How the hell did things get to be this terrible?’
