A renowned film critic offers a no-holds-barred account of all that is great and all that is terrible about cinema Outspoken, opinionated, and hilariously funny, the critic who carved out a career in print, radio, and television based entirely on the belief that The Exorcistis the greatest movie ever made and that the Pirates of the Caribbeanfilms should be buried in a very deep hole where they can never bother anyone ever again tackles the real questions that serious filmgoers need answered: What's wrong with the modern movie business? How can we make it right? If blockbusters make money no matter how bad they are, then why not make a good one for a change? How can 3-D be the future of cinema when it's been giving audiences a headache for more than 100 years? Why pay to watch films in theaters which don't have a projectionist but do have a fast-food stand? And, in a world in whichSex and the City 2 was a hit, what the hell are film critics for?This hilariously forthright, enthusiastic look at the state of film today will delight all film obsessives.
