Films, movies & cinema; Film theory & criticism

The hilariously forthright successor to the bestselling It's Only a Movie

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?'

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.

Reviews for The Good, The Bad and The Multiplex

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
