If you grew up believing that Planet of the Apes told you all you needed to know about politics, that Slade in Flame was a savage exposé of the pop world, and that The Exorcist revealed the meaning of life, then you probably spent far too many of your formative years at the cinema. Just as likely, you soon would have realised that there was only one career open to you - you'd have to become a film critic.
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 embarks on a gut-wrenching journey through the former Soviet Union on the trail of the low budget horror flick Dark Waters, cringe as he's handbagged by Helen Mirren at the Bafta awards ceremony, cheer as he gets thrown out of the Cannes film festival for heckling in very bad French, and don't forget to gasp as he's shot at while interviewing Werner Herzog in the Hollywood hills. Written with sardonic wit and wry good humour, this compelling cinematic memoir is genuinely 'inspired by real events'.
Film critic, broadcaster, quiff-wearer and something of a cult figure, Mark Kermode is one of the most distinctive voices on the cultural scene. His podcasts are downloaded by well over 100,000 people per week and he can regularly be seen offending Leonardo DiCaprio (he forgave him for Titanic), dodging sniper fire with Werner Herzog ('It is not a significant bullet') or hosting hour-long specials with Steven Spielberg on The Culture Show.
