Dr K was on good form last night at Harbour Lights promoting his new book (The Good, the Bad and the Multiplex) and entertaining a full house with two hours of banter, rants and inspiring insights into the world of film and cinema. I will get hold of the book soon and review it once I've read it - by the time I got out of the auditorium last night the queue for signing was just too long.
For those familiar with his weekly film review session on BBC Five Live, there were the predictable rants against:
- 3D
- Sex in the City 2
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- The threat of extinction for projectionists
and of course much waving of the famous flappy hands.
There was also a lot of positive encouragement for his favourite actors and directors - and course the usual accolades for The Exorcist. The great thing that Mark Kermode does is to enthuse you about watching films and you want go and see one straight away.
Good value for money - do go and see him on this tour if he comes in your direction. I'll give the evening 9/10!
