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.

"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
