Mark Kermode's first book is a forthright not to mention hilarious account of a life lived in film, from when, at 5, he saw his first movie in the Classic Cinema in Hendon (Krakatoa- East of Java) through explosive rants against Pirates of the Carribbean, the 'Michael Bay-ification' of modern cinema, and the cynical marketing exercise that is the current resurgence of 3D, to spirited defences of the Hannah Montana franchise and Mamma Mia, and ending up with the wittertainment of his incredibly popular weekly BBC film podcast with Simon Mayo.

Author Biography

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.
