Film buffs are invited to the book signing of Mark Kermode’s new diatribe The Good, The Bad and the Multiplex.

Kermode’s only tour date on the South Coast will be at Southampton Picturehouse on Saturday 01 October.

Kermode often appears on the BBC Culture Show and Kermode and Mayo Film Review is one of the Beeb’s most popular podcasts, downloaded over 100,000 times a week. It is not surprising then, that the Screen Directory has named him as one of the ‘Top Ten Film Critics of All Time’.

His new book asks big questions such as ‘what’s wrong with the modern movie business – and how can we make it better?’ and ‘In a world in which Sex and the City 2 was a hit, what the hell are film critics?’ Witty, clever, thoroughly researched and written with a passion for cinema, this book is a definite read for all film aficionados.
