It's Only a Movie by Mark Kermode
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'.
Film criticism is rarely as much fun as Kermode, whether on the radio or in this hugely entertaining book -- David Hughes * Empire *
A droll account of Kermode's rise to becoming the most prominent, and extravagantly quiffed, movie pundit in Britain -- Stephen Dalton * The Times *
Bubbles with gleeful obsession * Reader's Digest *
Breezy, entertaining.. certainly made me laugh * Independent *
In an industry where serious film criticism is increasingly marginalised, we're lucky to have him -- Ali Catterall * Word *

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.
