Description

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?'

Media Reviews

Very angry and very funny * Empire *
Kermode has nutsy-boltsy knowledge, fierce and idiosyncratic enthusiasms ... and some very interesting things to say * Guardian *
As impressive as it is entertaining ... Takes a wrecking ball to the studio chicanery * Word *
Expertly written, funny and fascinating * Shortlist *
Frankly alarming * Metro *
Catching Mark Kermode in full rant is like witnessing an irate bloke slagging off an unfaithful mistress. Only funnier ... Disagreeing with Kermode is just as much fun as agreeing with him * Daily Telegraph *
A spectacularly well-researched and vehement argument * Sunday Times *
Combines historical context with hilariously barbed anecdotes * Total Film *
The angrier Mark Kermode gets, the funnier he is; good news then that this book is FURIOUS * Empire *
[A] laugh-out-loud account that will tickle the funny bone of any film fanatic * Star *

Author's Bio

Outspoken, opinionated, and never lost for words, Mark Kermode has carved out a career in print, radio and television based entirely on the belief that The Exorcist is the greatest movie ever made and that the Pirates of the Caribbean films should be buried in a very deep hole where they can never bother anyone ever again.
